If you're after tattoo ideas for your next body inking, then check out these stunning Gustav Klimt tattoo designs for some truly artistic inspiration.

Gustav Klimt (1862-1918) is one of history's most renowned Art Nouveau painters. The Austrian artist was born in Baumgarten during the Austrian Empire, and he soon made a name for himself for the erotic nature and decorative style of his Art Deco works, which were considered a form of rebellion against traditional academic art during that period. His most famous paintings are The Kiss, which you can find below, as well as the Portrait of Adele Blich-Bauer, and if this collection of beautiful tattoos doesn't make you want to get inked, then we honestly don't know what will. Which one from this Gustav Klimt-dedicated tattoo gallery is your favorite? Let us know in the comments below, and don't forget to vote for your favorite tattoo inspiration! (h/t: illusion.scene360)

    You should think "wow, not my body and it doesn't effect me whatsoever." Don't judge anyone by what they put on their skin. There is a quote about books and judging, but no one knows what it is anymore. No one reads books
