3D tattoos are increasingly becoming popular in the current generation because of their unique style. The technique used by tattooist is creating an illusion that something is part of your skin or rather sitting on top of the skin. To achieve this, the tattoo artists usually round the subject of design with highlights, shading and adding shadows to both the object and skin.

All the 3Dimensional tattoos are designed with as much meaning as depicted in the conventional 2 Dimensional tattoos. A 2D butterfly or dragon tattoo would have the same meaning as those drawn in 3D design. The only significant difference is in the life-like effect with majority of 3D designs appearing more real to the tattoo owner. In essence, these tattoos go beyond the traditional ink-on-skin to give people an illusion of the object of design being part of the body. There are artists that can ‘remove’ parts of the skin to reveal the muscles and tendons lying within the skin while there’re others with the skill of drawing a tattoo that reveals the interior or inside of aliens and robots. Such tattoos can be great to look at and by extension, the can symbolize inner strength or give an impression of one being machine-like or can be someone questioning their own humanity
