Aside from the back, the stomach welcomes colossal art with ease; there’s plenty of space to ink. However, the moment you start inching towards your hip bones, belly button and rib cage, you’re in for a real treat.

When the tattoo machine starts vibrating all over the stomach and poking you in the gut it’s enough to well, literally make you stomach sick while sitting in the chair. Sure, this area is generally higher in fat than most, however that doesn’t mean it’s less sensitive!

Though, the pain and uneasiness alone shouldn’t prevent any man from choosing that spot on the body. In truth, the suffering will fade away as a distant memory within time.

On the bright side of things, both the upper and lower stomach areas are completely concealable. Aside from in the bedroom and out at the beach of course.

To help you visualize what’s possible on this giant body canvas, I’ve put together a collection of the top 100 best stomach tattoos for men. From smaller designs that drift over onto the rib cage to full chest and stomach designs that are awe-inspiring with talented artistry, there’s countless ideas to admire.

1. Awe-Inspiring Stomach Tattoos 

When you have the amount of space available for a tattoo as you do on the stomach, the smart thing to do is to go all out and create a jaw dropping, awe-inspiring tattoo. These designs can be etched in a myriad of styles and applications and utilize full color or black and gray. The main factor to be concerned with here is making them look as dramatic and intense as possible.  

2. Terrifying Stomach Tattoos 

A truly dark and terrifying tattoo takes on a new dimension when applied to a canvas space as large as the stomach. This extra scope allows your artist to increase detail, shading, and make greater use of color in a way that can turn a creepy design into a living nightmare. These examples show the effects, whether full color or black and gray. You and your artist should be able to craft a striking, macabre design that makes sensational use of the space available.
