The demand for unique tattoo ideas has skyrocketed because for some people the idea of complete originality is the key to killer body art. 

Emphasizing the unique aspects of an entire tattoo idea can be the basis for some body art, while others are looking to create an interesting tattoo under the terms of an existing style, technique, or motif. 

A skilled tattoo artist can take a hugely popular design idea but interpret it in a way so that it can be considered a fully customized and uniquely cool tattoo idea. 

With tattoos no longer the act of rebellion they once were, people are turning to art and architecture principles or technology for creating individual expression in body art choices. 

To help fully unlock your own unique tattoo, look at the stellar designs in this gallery of quality body art. These pieces can help clarify and define your concept or provide a style or type of technical application you wish to utilize in your next tattoo.   

Unique Tattoo Ideas

Cool 3D abstract tattoo implementing clever geometric elements to pop off the skin. Like how the artist has lengthened the image image with straight line, fine black needle work – it better fits the placement on the outer forearm. The TV snow effect is also a smart technical fill.

Another cool 3D piece, this small tattoo does extremely well incorporating a portion of negative space into the other shapes. Also like the short, sharp, black line flourishes – they help put polish on the final artwork.

This body art is a great fit between style and placement. The checkerboard fill (and massive hole) is an excellent ‘seeing eye’ type pattern, and works well on the calf with the vortex shading. Also, the exaggerated fat black line border further promotes the mind bending visual aspects of the tattoo.
