A multicolor blend of Psychedelic and Chicano-based tattoos – this trippy woman stands for a liberal culture. The eyes and the mind are holed up into nothingness with a sense of acceptance of the difference of opinion that she may have with her counterparts. The strong makeup acts as a revolt against the society that doesn’t seem to care much about what is going on within a person! 

Are you someone whose mental tangent does not match with anyone else’s? Then you can very well imprint this tattoo on your body as a form of protest. 

52. This compelling star tattoo.

Stars signify hope and divine guidance. It also signifies the ambition of a person and a chance at following one’s dreams. However – for the experimental souls – the 3D star tattoos with quotes inside are a unique way to express their feelings. 

Are you someone for whom stars signify passion, integrity, the love and care of a family, and a lot more apart from divine guidance? Then you can surely try this style of imprinting the quotes within the star with the choicest of shades. 

53. This mind bending twist.

If illustrative tattoos are your favorites, you can inscribe this twisted image on your skin in black or any of the shades you prefer. Bordering on the psychedelic styles, this twisted tattoo is almost like flames of fire that are rising. You may also interpret it as random twisted lines with no such meaning but more of a decoration. 

Looking closely – this also gives a twirling image that reminiscences the twisted mental conditions we all seem to have. Would you like to portray the same? Here’s your chance at inking it – either on your neck or at your back. 

54. This elegant full leg tattoo.

Are you bold enough to paint your whole leg? If yes – then this is the one that you are looking at! As one of the most illustrative tattoos – this depicts an entangled mesh that signifies entrapment and resilience at the same time. It is noted that the one thing that does not kill us makes us stronger. This embossed painting is an embodiment of the same. 

The imprint here is made in black, but you may also use any other single shade to draw the mesh or go in for multicolor format, as per your taste. 

55. This stylish tattoo.

If you want to customize it, you could add some threads or a spinning image to make it prominent. To add more meaning to it, you could inscribe some Latin code or perhaps twist it by giving an image of the Victorian spinning wheel. 

56. This insane swirling tattoo.
