This Artist Created 30 Tattoos That Look Like Stickers That Would Peel Right Off Your Skin
Interview With ArtistI have recently 'tattooed' my whole arm with sea-themed sticker tattoos and it brought me '90s nostalgia and, honestly, made my day. Covering your arms and other body parts with temporary sticker tattoos was the most badass thing you could do as a child to impress others. Real stickers found in gum worked like a charm, too. What if those sticker masterpieces were permanent? The sticker tattoo trend is taking the ink world by storm and Luke Cormier, known as mr.sticker.tattoo, is a master at it. With bright colors, good shading, and a bit of white, his 3D tattoos look like real stickers that make you want to peel them off.
Luke Cormier told Bored Panda he wasn't planning to tattoo and wanted to be a piercer instead. However, it turned out great as Cormier now has 102k followers on Instagram and is going viral on TikTok with millions of views:
“I’m not too sure, to be honest, how the tattoo appeared in my life, everyone just had tattoos where I grew up, it was a pretty normal thing and then I fell into tattooing by accident. I wanted to be a piercer but ended up tattooing. Everyone always said my tattoos looked like stickers so it just made sense to add the white and do actual sticker tattoos,” the artist shared his story.

Just wait until someone says: “uh heh… you have something on your arm..” and tried to rip it off
Oh no! An uncensored boob! :O :O :O (im being sarcastic btw in reference to how bp is usually so ridiculous with its censoring >.>)
Morty: "Give me the meesix box!" Punches the button "Hi meesix, I want you to compliment this man for the wonderful job he did on me and Rick's tattoos" Rick: punches meesix button "Kill that son of a b*** Morty for going sawft, I cant believe him, get me another Morty from another dimension too!"
They'll look at that tattoo one day and say "I made the right choice"
Of course the first thing I noticed was the Enterprise! Lol! Other than that that is a cute tattoo.
Does it matter? Just enjoy them for what they are- very well done!
Load More Replies...These are so well done. I've never had a tattoo but now I want one. Can anyone say if the colors remain vibrant?
Depends on a lot of factors - your skin tone, how deep they insert the needles, brand/chemistry of ink. Mine are all around 10-12 years old and still very vibrant except for my first one. I've had it touched up. She didn't go very deep because it's on the top of my foot. Still love it though.
Load More Replies...I’m just curious as an artist myself: do tattoo artists get permission from the artist/entity for the clearly well known images (rendered exactly, with undeniable skill and talent…? Does making it look lick a sticker pass the 30% threshold for copyrighted artwork?, Or are these images paid for in advance? I work very hard to get permission from original creators - or use public domain resources, so I’m curious how this process works with tattooing. I find rights usage and fees, and for what and what’s allowed fairly confusing. I wonder if I’m being more cautious that I need to be. Or maybe tattooing comes under a unique classification, since people probably often want popular characters. Thanks!
