We generally associate a familiar look with tattoos, irrespective of their design. Well, it’s time to get that notion shattered with these beautiful tattoos that take an entirely fresh look (and subject). Most tattoo artists employ a black outline. By getting rid of that outline and using lighter colors, these tattoos take on a nearly watercolor-like look. These tattoos are the work of Korean tattoo parlor Aro Tattoo, based in Seoul, and staffed mainly by two artists – Dali and Silo.

Brazilian Tattoo Artist Converts Scars of Domestic Violence into Empowering Pieces of Art
The terrible crime that domestic violence is, it often leaves scars on the body of the victim – and it stays on as a mark of the abuse, a reminder of terrible times.

Artist Dresses Ferrari F430 in Leather, Tattoos It
Artist Philippe Pasqua started off this project with a Ferrari F430 Scuderia. The supercar was first wrapped in cowhide, taking care to cover every nook and crevice of the body, while ensuring the leather followed the curves of the Ferrari as well as it could be. This would in itself be a tricky job, considering the joints, hinges and crevices are not the best friends of a leather coat.

A Gentleman
“A Gentleman is Simply a Patient Wolf.” This piece was made for a sleeve tattoo commission by Fyodor Pavlov. We’ll hold off judgement on those very wise words.
Joker Tattoo
