Cool Tattoos

People get tattoos for any number of reasons, from a drunken dare to honoring a special moment. So the next time an occasion or tequila strikes, consider using one of these cool tattoos for inspiration.

Of course, “cool” is a subjective term. Or, at least, that’s what we tell ourselves when we wear denim overalls. So, we collected a ton of different kinds of ink to get the creative juices flowing.

Whether it’s playing with perspective, choosing a strategic location, or just a flawless piece of masterful art, these tattoos will convince you that getting stabbed with a tiny needle over and over is totally worth it. In the end, anyway.

5. Realistic Bat Tat

Don’t think bats are that cool? Fine. But you gotta give it up for the artist who did this entirely with dots. And their patience.

8. Snowy Polar Bear Tattoo

Nothing like a bit of meditation in swirling snow to de-stress from being the backbone of Coca-Cola’s marketing scheme. And, realizing that people are willfully ignorant of the environment that is threatening your species.

20. Full Leg Tattoo

If we had this on our leg, we’d never wear pants again. Or at least we’d wear them less than the one day a week that we wear them now.

25. Cat Riding Horse Tattoo

We’re not totally sure what’s going on here, but we think any tattoo depicting your dream from the other night is a cool tattoo. Just don’t choose the one where you forgot to study for the test.
