If you ask any group of people what the definition of a cool tattoo is then you would probably get a whole array of answers. Some people consider cool tattoos to be fierce and dark designs depicting demons, skulls and other horror elements. To others, cool tattoos are those that are humorous or witty. But, I think many of us would agree that a cool tattoo is what is solely defined by the bearer. For me, cool tattoos are the ones that you don’t expect to see. These are tattoos such as eight balls inked on bald men’s heads or tattoos that appear to be fake injuries, such as a dagger jetting out of someone’s back. But, one of my favorite cool tattoos has to be the one of an alien poking itself out of the person’s chest. Not only is it graphic and surprising but it also pays homage to one of the greatest horror flicks of all time. I would also consider the fireman on this guys back as a pretty cool tattoo. It’s beautifully shaded and colored and has almost a 3-D quality to it. And who doesn’t admire fire fighters anyway?
