Geek and Nerd Tattoos

Well, this is a fairly new genre of tattoos, and it’s debatable whether this is a step forwards or backwards. While nobody can deny the incredible visuals of the video game world are excellent material for tattoos, with bright colours and cartoon-like styles, is it really a good idea to dedicate your arm to Sonic the Hedgehog, forever? Hmmm…

Cool Cheshire Cat Tattoo

We came across this really cool design on flickr.com.

Great little tattoo design!

It’s a great little loose design that uses skin space really well – not too much ink makes it really effective.

Mr X Black Tattoos

Check out the Into You website for some amazing artwork by Mr X. It’s not to everyone’s taste but his extremely bold and simple style is pretty original and impressive, even if a lot of the subject matter is the usual same-old-stuff.

Westlife Anyone? No? Really?

Westlife Portraits Tattoo

Well, the tributes to musical geniuses keep appearing. Like the Britney tattoo, this one has to be commended for it’s sheer quality and taste. The ‘Avante Garde harmonies’ (that’s singing out of tune, to you and me) of Westlife really are a cause for celebration.

The identity of the wearer has been obscured for humanitarian reasons.

The Phenomenal Tomas Tomas

Amazing Tattoos by Tomas Tomas

This is without a doubt the most amazing body of work I’ve seen for a long time. The only way to describe the work of Tomas Tomas is completely original! To me, the reason his designs work so well is the juxtaposition of the strong, heavy yet elegant geometric shapes against their subtle shading. Tattoo art generally seems to shy away from geometry and straight lines in favour of more organic, flowing designs that complement body shapes, so it’s a real treat to see something so at odds with the usual approach working so well!
