Beautiful tattoo, but it's not gonna age well. Small ink tends to bleed together over time.
Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing!

I would personal never get a full body tattoo but the guy looks super happy!
Just wait until he falls asleep with a small kid and colored ink pens left out.
Sexy. I would love to know how it feels to make love and look at art at once.
I have a lot of ink and I'm a complete sissy. I get my doctor to prescribe lidocaine cream for appointments. I can't imagine how much that tattoo hurt - it's on the softest, most delicate skin you have. It's beautiful....and you earned it.
Double exposure for the win - I love how the turets almost become a crown...
I hope that's henna otherwise I would hate to think of all the pain she endured only to have them fade away! Very cool anyway...
it's not cling film people, it's a special type of plaster made to stick to the skin, so the tattoo underneath can start healing without risk of anything getting into it. as a tattoo artist, I NEVER use antibiotic creams, just natural coco butter or simply vaseline... adding too much stuff isn't good for a tattoo, the best is to let your body heal up mostly by itself.
If I had the budget, I would love to do my back in this style, I love these!
I like the Statue of Liberty sticking out as the stem, this tattoo is very creative
I love the clean lines of the man-made trestle bridge against the free-form beauty of nature. Very pleasing to my eye. I keep wanting to look at this one.
apparently not, but will happily give unnecessary opinions anyway

Yeah, some of the fine lines will not fare well at all.
Load More Replies...I am afraid of getting a tattoo, cause i may not want/like them forever, but getting tattoos like these , is like wearing art.i wouldnt wear one but i still think they are beautiful
Most of these will age terribly. Very beautiful and unwise at the same time.
No, thank you... Architecture on skin doesn´t look so impresive as in the city. Especially No. 1 looks just like dirty arm.
If anyone here is from Norway, I want to get a Bryggen tattoo from my hometown. Would look nice. Or the 7 mountains
You.idiots don't tend to realize that blank ink spreads as time goes by..Enjoy you big black blobs
Nope. None of those made me want to get tattooed - and nothing ever will. Who writes these captions?
You know what's more beautiful than that? Blank skin. Put it on canvas. Don't wreck your skin.
