Coolest Tattoos

Written on June 18, 2010 – 9:32 am | by adimoga |

I have always found tattoos to be quite fascinating, even if I never had the courage to get one for myself. The truth is I am afraid of needles and other sharp pointy object but I am a fan of admiring them and the people that have the passion and patience to become tattoo artists. I have come across a lot of interesting models and I simply found it impossible to decide which are the coolest tattoos.



In these pictures I wanted to show you some of the most amazing tattoos that I have ever come across in my life, things that I never thought a human being would have the courage to permanently paint on his or her body. I also admire the work of the ink artist because they have to be extremely careful as they are marking human flesh forever. It is very difficult for me to pick the best looking tattoo out of all the ones that I have scene.

How do you make your choice when you know that every tattoo has a different significance to the one that carries it and it is probably something out of its history, something important than not a lot of people can understand. Ah yes, brave men these tattoo carriers.



If I really had to make my pick for the coolest tattoos, I would go with something a bit more different than what we are used to getting from a common tattoo. While reading the latest tech news on the internet, I came across this crazy and very cool concept called the augmented reality tattoos.

If someone would have told me the name of this type of tattoos, I would have never guessed what they look like on my own. Well, it appears that there is a company called ThinkAnApp that did it for a software producer. At first sight, these types of tattoos look pretty basic as they are composed of typical QR code. The real magic starts to happen when you place them in front of a camera which is specially equipped. Then you will notice a design that not even the most talented tattoo artist could have come up with. Take the picture below for instance.

The dragon that was tattooed on that man’s arm is literally going to start flapping his wings and fly around. I know, we found it amazing as well but then we found a YouTube video and saw that this is actually possible. However, this is something not accessible by us regular folks that don’t have access to this kind of fancy equipment.




I think that this augmented tattoo thing is going to be a revolution as far as 3D movies are concerned. I can already see people with dragons and birds and dinosaurs and other creatures painted on their body that start to fly and jump and save mankind from some strange phenomenon that is going to wipe out the whole human race (don’t mind me, I watch too many movies).
