Tattoos that incorporate embroidery designs are the latest embroidery trends stepping out of Nana’s embroidery design magazine. In an increasingly popular genre, needlework looks achieve a perfect balance between realistic needlework and outlandish styles ranging from classical art to traditional flower inks to video game characters.

Embroidery tattoos give the appearance of iron-on craft patches that have been applied directly. Their almost 3D appearance makes them look like you are wearing a patch. In contrast, cross-stitch tattoos, which are also rising in popularity, feature noticeable tiny ‘X’ marks throughout each design, whereas embroidery recreates the deliberate linear needle marks made by stitches.

Neither embroidery, stitching, nor yarn is actually used. Embroidery tattoos are created the conventional way by coloring in your skin with multiple colors of ink using a tattoo gun, needle, and a lot of ink necessary to get the job done. These embroidered tattoo effects resemble the stitch texture of embroidered fabrics, and some of the classic styles – cartoon characters, sports motifs, 3D symbols, and superhero badges. The most successful embroidery tattoos resemble patch tattoos that can be sewed onto clothing or ironed on.
