The latest trend in marking up your body is three dimensional tattoos. Regardless of whether you love or hate tattoos, it’s undeniable that these are eye popping.
Take the photo of the huge tarantula on the shoulder below – see how realistic the spider looks. It’s actually a 3D tattoo.
Here’s an amazingly detailed 3D tattoo of a lizard:
And speaking of spiders, here’s a tacky, yet quite astonishing 3D tattoo of Spiderman emerging from a man’s chest. Wow:
I don’t know where you get 3D tattoos done and I can’t imagine ever wanting one of these, but they are quite striking.

is this really authentic?
I mean this could only be a product of Photoshop or something…

As far as I know, all of these photos are authentic.

if this is authentic, then this is a very good work of art.!
Job well done!

these are authentic, actually it is one of the more impressive directions tattoo art is going.

I’ve seen stuff like this too.. Its amazing! Love the new direction tatts are taking. Anything is better than the tramp stamping and sailor-chic movement!

The one of the spider is so realistic; I thought there was just a spider sitting on that dude’s shoulder. Awesomesauce.

Awesomesauce indeed!
If I ever got a tatoo ( :X ), it would be a 3D leopard gecko!

Yeah they look really cool, is there anywhere else i can find some more designs? If you could let me know that would be great

I’ve posted most of the 3D tattoos that I was able to find. If anyone knows of more designs, post a comment here.

The first thing I’d do is get a 3d large penis tattooed on my groin

I wonder….can you actually get a 3D tattoo, i.e. a tattoo that pops out when wearing 3D glasses? That would be awesom-o!

though the 3d designs are eye-popping- they are achieved with injections of a sugar-based substance around key areas to give it that “lifted” appearance. they can be dangerous if not done by a knowledgeable artist.
