Tattoos that look like paintings

If you're up for something light, uplifting and badass all at the same time, Abii's tattoos are just the thing you were looking for. She uses a combination of watercolor-like aesthetics, beautiful subjects like birds, trees and flowers and styles inspired by famous painters to create a powerful concoction of inkwork, and her increasing number of fans are fawning over them.

Every once in a while, when various tattoos show up in your Instagram feed, they can really make an impression. And the work of South Korean tattooist Nonlee may do just that. This woman has just started her work in the tattooing industry, but she already has a profile that makes over 150,000 people come back again and again. She uses intricate lines, precise lighting, and creative color combinations, and invites us into her surreal world of micro realism.
