This isn't the first post we've done about 3D tattoos, and it's unlikely to be the last because the body art is constantly evolving and it looks so damn cool.
Popularized by pioneers such as Jesse Rix and Winston The Whale, these 3D drawings will make you look twice. Some of these tattoo designs look astonishingly real as if there actually is a beautiful butterfly perched delicately on the skin. Others are mind-bending 3D art illusions that contort the body in ways that shouldn't be possible.
So if you're looking for inspiration for your next tattoo ideas, why not consider adding another dimension? Scroll down below to check out this tattoo gallery filled with incredible designs compiled by Bored Panda, , and let us know what you think in the comments!
