Okay, so the fact here is pretty undeniable - there’s a tattoo style for every person. Abstract designs for abstract-minded people, funny tattoos for the pranksters out there, old-school tattoos for the lovers of tradition, and realistic tattoos for those who want to have ink that’s a real showstopper. Now, it’s only up to you what exactly you want to be depicted in your hyper-realistic tattoo, but that does not necessarily mean you don’t want to see some gorgeous examples of lifelike tattoos on somebody else’s body. And we are glad you do! That’s why we’ve created this awesome list full of realism tattoo ideas, designs, styles, and absolute units.
You might be wondering what you will find in this article. Well, just someone’s beloved humans, famous people, animals, arachnids (don’t say we didn’t warn you!), sculptures, concepts, and everything else done in such a way that a double take from passers-by is absolutely imminent. And you know what? If we had the guts to sit through hours and hours of poking and prodding, we’d surely like to get one of these astonishingly realistic tattoos from our list. Oh, and it doesn’t really matter if you like your ink in black and white or in full-blown technicolor since these realism tattoos can come in both variations. So, what’s there to stop you? (Besides painful inking, funds, and having to decide which one of these cool tattoos you’d like to get.)
With the introduction nearing its end, it’s time to ask you the most important question - are you ready to check out our selection of the most showstopping, head-turning, purely incredible tattoo designs? If so, scroll down below, check them out, and give your vote to the lifelike tattoos you liked the most. And lastly, don’t forget to share this article with your friends!

I hope the people with scary ones don't have children. Too creepy, especially when done well.

Or maybe they could have kids that appreciate art like their parents do
