The tattoo process of applying ink in pleasing colors and designs has been an art form for centuries, yet is taken to an entirely different level when paired with classical fine art. Famous classical paintings such as The Last Supper and Birth of Venus, jump from the canvas and come to life on the body. The workmanship, detail, and obvious talent these tattoo artists possess is almost palpable. Whether you stopped by for tattoo inspiration or simply to oggle some beautiful tattoo art, we hope you enjoy the selection of classical art tattoo designs we’ve featured below.
