Fusing tattoos together can be a challenge, but not for Ahm at Panumart Tattoo in Thailand. The dragonfly fuses together with the lotus, acting as a stem so gracefully that you almost don’t recognize that it’s a dragonfly at first. I like the choice of colors, the green of the dragonfly against the muted pink tones of the lotus merge together flawlessly. Great design and an even better placement for the shape of the tattoo.

Any dotwork fans out there? Can you believe these two back tattoos were created using nothing but dots? Now that’s impressive. The artist paid careful attention to the finer details such as the highlights in the eyes and mouth to give them a wet look, it’s tiny details like this that give a tattoo its character. Awesome work by the Polish artist, MB Beyger, go check out more of her work on Instagram.

If you’re a sucker for realism, then look no further, this hyperrealistic ram skull is to die for. The texture of the horns gives the illusion that you could reach out your hand and feel the horns for yourself. This is a spectacular example of true artistry and of an artist that has some serious skill.

Is this not such a brilliant concept for a tattoo? I adore the intricate wooden details, a little-known fact, the rings of a tree are much like a human’s fingerprint, each one uniquely belonging to a particular tree. This design portrays strength and resilience amidst life’s challenges. The beautiful wreath of flowers surrounding the stump brings the design together, almost like a frame, simply magnificent and truly well done.

There’s nothing better than a brightly colored tattoo and here we have one that steals the show. I adore the combination of colors they remind me of a tropical island and blend well together. As for the placement, the shoulder was a good choice as there’s plenty of space which works for the composition of the design. Absolutely phenomenal.

Okay, this back tattoo is giving off Gatsby vibes and I really like it. The hints of bright colors against the blackwork create a stunning contrast that bounces off each other allowing each element to stand out and be admired individually. This is such a beautiful tattoo and so unique too!

I mentioned earlier that feathers and flowers are popular elements, especially in feminine tattoos. Here we have a stunning fineline floral design on the back, the soft Black and Gray whips give the design its feminine touch while the darker moon and rose leaves add contrast which creates the perfect illusion of depth. This one is absolutely perfect for the back, but it would look amazing on the thigh or even the upper arm too.

I’ve never personally seen the illustration from the Realm of the Elderlings, but what I can say is this is super cool! Dragons are always a winner when it comes to tattoo inspiration, there’s so much you can do with them. What I like about this illustration is the composition and how it fits snugly on the shoulder blade, almost like it was always meant to be there. When it comes to the back there’s so much space to work with that it can be difficult to choose the right spot, but the artist was right on point!

This back tattoo is so pretty, the color palette is super feminine and blends perfectly with the daintiness of the linework and overall concept. The tiny stars remind me of something you would see in Sailor Moon, in fact, this entire design gives off Sailor Moon vibes, I love it!

You may be wondering what makes this tattoo a blackwork design and not black and gray, well, the answer is simple, there’s more black ink than gray. It’s a great tattoo for the placement, the wings spread naturally over the upper back creating the illusion that the wearer has wings. This is such a lovely back tattoo and definitely a great source of inspiration for your next piece.

Abstract tattoos always give off a very feminine vibe and this one is no exception. The brush strokes creating the petals are done so realistically, it almost looks like the artist painted this piece on her back. I like the contrast between the blackwork and the splashes of red, it draws your eyes to the blossoms making them the center of attention. Another design on the shoulder blade, the perfect spot for any back tattoo.

This design is so cool, not only is it unique but it’s been designed specifically for the client making it uniquely theirs. I love the use of white ink for the hourglass, it creates the illusion of negative spacing, hopefully, it stands the test of time because white ink doesn’t always hold well, depending on your skin, after all, we all have different skin types, some hold ink better tha others. Keep in mind, tattoos on the spine can be quite painful so if you’re looking at this position for your next one, make sure you’re ready for some spice.

Another stunning lotus tattoo, it seems the lotus is a fan favorite when it comes to back tattoos. This design embodies spiritual tranquility through intricate precision, delicate dots skillfully create the lotus’s blossoming petals, symbolizing purity and enlightenment. This mesmerizing piece evokes a sense of harmony and serenity, turning the back into a canvas of inner peace. The center of the upper back is a brilliant position, it fits snugly, and the dotwork that frames the lotus complements the shape of the upper back.

I absolutely adore these two fineline jaguars on the client’s upper back. Their stances exude fierce elegance as they’ve been meticulously etched, the mirrored felines symbolize balance, power, and duality. This captivating artwork celebrates the grace and strength of these majestic creatures, making a bold statement that will definitely be a showstopper.

This back tattoo provokes images of Autumn, the muted blends of deep oranges and browns pull you into a world of pumpkin-spiced lattes and falling leaves. The placement on the shoulder looks fantastic, wearing an open-back top will have people’s heads turning. Beautiful work by Leean, if you ever find yourself in South Korea, pop in and get something cool, or check out their artwork on IG.

I like the way this watercolor lily tattoo gracefully adorns the neck and upper back, blending hues of pink and soft brushstrokes. The lilies’ radiant beauty brings a touch of serenity to the back while symbolizing purity, grace, and the blooming of the soul with an enchanting and expressive design.

At first glance, it’s difficult to determine what this tattoo actually is, which is pretty cool if you think about it, people will have many questions and only the wearer is the only one that knows its true meaning. The blend of fiery reds and oranges melting into the gradient of blues and black truly evoke the idea of fire and ice, and yet the inspiration for this piece is the sky. Absolutely breathtaking and honestly a well-thought-out back tattoo.

We’ve reached the end of the list and the final design is one for the books. This abstract design is something I’ve never seen before, which says a lot about the artist, how does one come up with such interesting and unique concepts? I love the various forms of shading and linework, they intertwine naturally, creating a gorgeous pattern that adorns the back elegantly.

We hope you found what you were looking for, if not, keep in mind, there’s plenty more where that came from. Until next time, happy tattooing!
