Funny Tattoos

We've all seen our fair share of ridiculously funny tattoos while browsing the internet, however the following pictures are some of our personal handpicked favorites from hundreds of super silly body artwork designs.

Funny tattoo designs are expressed in many different ways, including the old animal belly button "butt" idea, which seems to be gathering a cult like following, as we see new masterpieces surfacing on the internet almost daily. Which is certainly a sign of the impending apocalypse.

So before the world becomes consumed by stupidity, first enjoy this picture gallery of the worlds funniest and perhaps dumbest tattoos known to man.



These funny belly button tattoos possess the perfect amount of humor and disgust, all wrapped into one offensive work of body art. But seriously, the ladies must go wild over it...



Nothing better than those sarcastically thought provoking funny tattoos, which leaves you guessing the sanity of the individual sporting the masterpiece. Six pack man basically conveys an entire life story within a single stomach design. Simply amazing!



And if you personally, ever find yourself pondering the thought of a funny or blatantly moronic tattoo such as the ones featured above, please take note that the design will remain intact for up to 75 years, if not longer...

Friendship Tattoos

Remember in the past, when people would demonstrate their love for one another with a high five or perhaps a friendship bracelet? Well those days are history and its becoming increasingly more popular to showcase you're friendship with a tattoo design.

Friendship tattoos are when two or more pals get the exact same design, often in the very same location on each others body. And while this practice is quite clever, we've noticed that a few people are taking this idea one step further and selecting "half" designs, which combined to form one complete tattoo.

Checkout this neat picture gallery of some superb ideas for your very own piece of artwork.



Friendship tattoos aren't just for the ladies, in fact they are quite common among guys, as well as boyfriend and girlfriend, however with any relationship artwork you are most certainly treading on dangerous grounds, with the possibility of a breakup.



It seems like some of the most popular areas of the body for these tattoos include the ankle, foot and wrist, followed by the forearm area.



Like with any body art, its essential to fully think though the design and location, plus when you're dealing with a possible friendship tattoo, you better make darn sure that the partnership is pure and true, because the last thing you want is a constant reminder of some evildoer stamped on your body...

Flag Tattoos

Not surprisingly, flags of all countries are extremely popular among tattoo enthusiasts, especially those who have a true passion for patriotism.

There are plenty of cool tattoos that go hand in hand with flag artwork, including eagles for America, clovers for Ireland and crosses for Scotland, plus cross designs are great additions to just about any flag tattoo.

Another trend that has become quite popular is the 3D flag ripping through flesh effect, which is rather common with a host of different artwork ideas. Enjoy the picture gallery below.



As you can see, the upper arm is one of the most requested locations for many of these designs, followed by the back and chest for larger masterpieces.



Besides the representation of your country of choice, we often see a variety of other culture inspired flag tattoos, such as military, religious and pirate designs, just to name a few.



Flag tattoos aren't always presented in a patriotic or flattering fashion, from time to time we'll see burning and torn designs that portray a sense of unrest rebellion or perhaps simply satirical rubbish. But to each his own, i suppose.

Fleur De Lis Tattoos

The Fleur De Lis is a historic stylized lily or iris flower that is commonly used as a decorative symbol spanning across many countries and cultures, said to symbolize royalty, perhaps best known for gracing European coats of arms and flags over the years.

The Fleur De Lis has been referenced countless times throughout both ancient and modern history, on television and in movies, plus many people in north america recognize this symbol as the official logo for the New Orleans Saints football team, as well as the state symbol of Louisiana.

As you might expect, the Fleur De Lis is a tremendously popular tattoo design, which is sought after by a variety of different people for various reasons. Enjoy this beautiful picture gallery of excellent tattoo ideas.



Since the Fleur De Lis is admired by so many different cultures, we often see a wide selection of custom tattoo designs with quite a combination of colors, along with specially added artwork.



These pictures above display the more traditional tattoo designs, without all the bells and whistles and added color.



Another interesting fact about the Fleur De Lis was told by French historian Georges Duby, and he said the three leaves represented the medieval social classes: those who worked, those who fought and those who prayed.

Fire and Flame Tattoos

Fire and flames tattoos are quite common and look sensational as stand alone artwork, often designed as partial sleeves which begin at the wrist or perhaps at the ankle for leg artwork.

And while fire tattoos look exceptional by themselves, we commonly see fire artwork combine with other designs such as the devil or other demonic art, as well as the mythical bird known as the phoenix which is typically portrayed with flames.

Gather some helpful tattoo ideas by scanning through this nice little picture gallery below.


Another popular design which consists of flames is the Roman Catholic inspired sacred heart of Jesus Christ, and this particular tattoo design is very popular among the Latin community.



Other objects that look nice with fire ink include cherries, baseballs, cars, dice, clovers, eight balls and other lucky items such as playing cards and casino related stuff.


Fire and flames tattoos have also been said to symbolism strength, sensuality and desire. Plus this style of art is quite fitting for both men and women.
