New School Tattoo of Frog Sitting on Top of Mushrooms
I love the detailing in this piece. There’s impressive shading, steady and even linework, beautiful use of color gradients, and of course highlighting done with white ink. Just look at those eyes; there’s actually light glistening from them! Awesome work by artist IG: @yazminaferrertattoo.
Blackwork Tattoo of Mushroom and Leaf
Although there appears to be various ink tones in this tattoo, it’s actually completely done using only black ink. Regardless, the artist skillfully creates beautiful shading and nuanced detailing throughout the work.

Illustrative Tattoo of Mushrooms and Frog on Side of Thigh
Don’t you feel like this one comes straight out of a kid’s storybook? I really like the simple, earthy colors seen here, green, brown and gray, especially with red added to the mix. The side of the thigh is perfect for the large dimensions of this tattoo, and although it’s large, it can be hidden. Viewing By Invitation Only

Blackwork Tattoo of Heart-shaped Plants and Mushrooms on Forearm
Another blackwork design for all of you who love its dark aesthetic. I really like that the vine is in the shape of a heart; adding a nice sentimental touch to this piece. The stipple shading seen on the fruits and leaves is created using the special technique known as whip shading. You gotta love the texture it creates!

Black and Gray Forearm Tattoo of Mouse, Mushroom and Plants
This black and gray design looks so elegant and adorable at the same time. I love the addition of the mouse and how playful and lively it looks. The design only covers the lower part of the client’s arm, but it’s a wonderful start for a full-sleeve, don’t you think?

Illustrative Tattoo of Two Mushrooms
Here comes another piece from the studio of @yazminaferrertattoo. Just like in the previous one, I really like the glistening surface of the Mushrooms. They look dewy as if a quick rain just passed. And oh the linework, it’s immaculate, giving the plants so much texture and dimension! Very Impressive
Custom Neo-Traditional Tattoo of Mushroom in a Jar With Flowers
The muted tones of Neo-Traditional style add mystery and sophistication to this tattoo. The colors are well packed so there’s no worry of fading. And the light glistening from the surfaces, just like metallic paint, is fantastic. I wish mushrooms looked like this in nature! Props to the artist IG: @technicolorcourtney.
Linework Forearm Tattoo of a Tower of Mushrooms
I absolutely love this piece. The Mushrooms look adorable, stacked up one on top of the other, looking like a birthday cake for Mother Nature! The addition of a few vines here and there looks really cool, too. I wonder if this client is planning to have a linework full-sleeve tattoo, because that would look amazing!
Linework Forearm Tattoo of Three Mushrooms With Blackwork Ribbons
What an eye-catching design this one is. It’s delicate and flowing, like the client’s forearm, while also being super-sophisticated. I love the black ribbons; I can just imagine how they would feel to the touch. And they add a whole lot of sexy to images of Mushrooms too! Now That’s Creative. Props to the artist IG: @madame_medusa

Blackwork Tattoo of Potion Mushrooms Using Whip Shading
Here comes something for those of you who’d love a witch’s potion tattooed on your skin. I absolutely love the whip shading in this piece. It adds so much texture and detailing; just check out that eye-catching smoke. The white highlights and the twinkling stars are like…The Icing On The Cake

Linework Thigh Tattoo of Mushrooms, Plants and Stars
I adore the clean linework in this piece; I think it’s perfection. Even with no shading, the leaves assume a life of their own, thanks to the beautiful thin black lines. The entire piece is so well inked, that it’s hard to look away. This is Poetry in Motion, brought to you by the artist IG: @moonflower.tattoo.
Linework Tattoo of Mushroom and Vines Showcasing Whip Shading
Another awesome linework design, but this one also incorporates blackout and whip shading. Those solid black opaque leaves are to die for. And I really like the huge dots on the Mushroom, created with the use of negative or uninked space.

Black and Gray/Linework Tattoo of Melting Mushrooms
I’m absolutely mesmerized by this piece. The patterns on the Mushrooms and the smoke around them caught my attention right away! I also really like the melting effect, which makes the whole piece look so magical! I have an idea what this tattoo might symbolize, although I’m not sure. What do you think?

Blackwork Tattoo of Mushrooms on Lower Forearm
For me, the best thing about this design are the dots forming an arc above the Mushrooms. Although it’s not the focal point, it’s such an interesting touch, and really helps define and frame the whole piece. For more awesome blackwork pieces, definitely check out the artist at IG: @blacksheepleek!

Blackwork Triceps Tattoo of Mushrooms and Flowers Forming a Heart
This is another design from the studio of artist IG: @fun.tattooing, and this one is no less adorable than the other. I really like the addition of spiderwebs all over the piece, suggesting this heart’s been around for a while. I think it adds a bit of nostalgia to the tattoo.

Black and Gray/Fineline Forearm Tattoo of Mushroom With a Teary Eye
This one really makes an impression on me, because of the teary eye. I really like how realistic the eye and the teardrop look. Look at them and you’d swear that there are tears there.. Really! Amazing piece by the artist IG: @beri_124.

Blackwork Forearm Tattoo of Mushroom with Butterfly Wings
What if Mushrooms could fly, or what if they were insects? This creative piece endows the Mushroom with a pair of beautiful butterfly wings, and it’s totally to die for. I love how detailed the wings are, and how there’s even an eye on the Mushroom’s cap. It looks so magical and out of this world!

Custom Blackwork Tattoo of Mushrooms and Featuring Fineline and Dotwork
There are so many interesting details in this design, that I don’t know where to start. I adore the eyes on the butterfly wings that blend so well with the adjacent patterns. The Mushrooms, the planets, the moon, and the star constellation are all such unexpected but fascinating details! This creative design does not need any color to make a strong everlasting impression.

Custom Old School Tattoo of Mushrooms, Flowers and a Cat
I love the vibrant color palette used in this tattoo. The orange, red, pink and sprinkling of green and yellow, are immediate attention-getters. Add in those bold black outlines, and this tattoo’s a winner!

Fineline/Black and Gray Calf Tattoo of Mushroom Growing on Skull
I love the eerie, intimidating vibe coming off of this design, especially from the skull and the black spider. But the Mushrooms and the flowers really act to counterbalance that with their feminine and delicate appearance. Looking at this tattoo, I think you can agree that it’s masterful. The thin lines are steady and exquisite, the opaque areas well packed, and the 3D is amazing. It feels like you could actually put your fingers right through the eye sockets. What a great piece by the artist IG: @v.ffoxx.

Blackwork Tattoo of Mushrooms With Florals
Blackwork is often bold, in-your-face, awesome. This tattoo is more muted, in tone and inking, yet no less awesome. This is still Blackwork as the artist uses only black ink. The style that’s employed here perfectly sets the tone for the design’s theme. And that whip shading on the flower…It’s Off-The-Charts

Custom Color Tattoo of Mushrooms
What really sets this design apart is probably its color palette. I find this combination very unique for a Mushroom tattoo – yellow, orange, and a muted blueish-green. The linework is really clean, too, making the whole piece look so refined and satisfying!
Custom Fineline Color Arm Tattoo of Mushrooms and Moth
This design really brings me to a magical forest, with its beautiful colors and swirling, curving lines.. I love the subtle use of orange that’s enough to make the piece stand out, but not too much to overwhelm it. The black moon and leaves add a mysterious vibe to the piece! Although I love them, I think they could have been better packed and the outlines more steady. That said, the linework is exquisite.
Blackwork Tattoo With Whip Shading of One-Eyed Mushroom
Hands down, this is probably my favorite tattoo on the list. I just love the concept of having a snail looking right into the Mushroom’s eye! The idea brings magic to the piece. I also love the stippled texture we see, created with the specialized technique of whip shading. But hands down the best part of this tattoo is the light reflecting off the eye. Amazing! Props to artist IG: @bren_bouquets!

Minimal Blackwork Forearm Tattoo of Mushroom Houses
We can’t possibly compile a list of mushroom tattoos, get to the end of our list, and not include something as whimsical as this one! I really like the image of Mushroom houses, because they’re so common in kids’ fairy tales. The addition of the flowers, the mailbox,and the hand-written lettering is such a nice touch, meshing so well with the cozy theme of this piece!

Fineline Tattoo of Mushrooms Growing from a Croc
I love the whimsical contrast between the mysterious, magical Mushrooms and the casual, friendly croc. This, along with the simplicity of the design, makes this tattoo uniquely appealing.
