3D Tattoos: The bizarre body art trend that is spreading across America like wildfire
Would you like to have a picture of a 3D demon exploding out of your chest? Would you like to make it look like an exquisite piece of art was carved out of your right leg? Would you like to see the shock on people's faces when they think that a real scorpion is sitting on your shoulder or a real snake is crawling down your back?
In recent years, more Americans have been getting tattoos than ever before, but now a new body art trend is spreading across America like wildfire. 3D tattoos can be far more realistic than conventional tattoos, and many are choosing them for their pure shock value. But how will all of these young people feel about their weird tattoos a decade or two from now?
And what does all of this bizarre body art say about our society? Is this a good thing or a bad thing?
Below are photos of 3D tattoos that I found on Facebook and Pinterest. At first glance, it is hard to believe that some of these are actually tattoos...
What you just saw are examples of what I thought that I could safely share.
There are a lot of other photos that were so demonic or so risque that I felt that I just couldn't share them.
These 3D tattoos are part of a much larger trend known as "extreme body modification". In this day and age, there seems to be a constant desire to "push the envelope" in the body art community. And what some people have chosen to do to themselves in the name of "art" is truly, truly bizarre. The following is a short excerpt from my previous article entitled "People Are Undergoing Extreme Body Modifications In Order To Look More Like The Devil?"...
When does body modification go too far? In recent years, the popularity of tattoos and body piercings has soared, but now there are thousands of people around the globe that are taking body modification to ridiculous extremes. For example, would you be willing to have your tongue split in two so that you could have a forked tongue? What about getting eyeball tattoos or having titanium horns implanted in your head?To most people, doing such things would be unimaginable, but there is a growing subculture of individuals out there that truly seem to enjoy "pushing the envelope" and seeing what is possible. Some of them want to look like cats, some want to look like vampires, others want to look like aliens and some even want to look like the devil. Yes, you read that correctly. You are about to read about one man that is purposely modifying his body so that he will look as much like the devil as possible. In fact, he even plans to add a tail someday.
You can check out the rest of that article right here.
I have a feeling that most of these people that are mutilating themselves will end up deeply regretting it.
After all, the truth is that most forms of extreme body modification are not going to help you get a job or find a spouse.
But what do you think? Are 3D tattoos and other forms of extreme body modification a good thing? Please share your thoughts by posting a comment below...
They could have just as easily chosen something beautiful.
I'm not against adornment that allows self expression and I've seen some beautiful tattoos on other people, but it isn't something I ever wanted to do myself. I've never been one to wear any real amount of make-up and I never chose to color my hair even as it began to show gentle streaks of silver nor am I wanting to now that silver is becoming the predominant shade of my once honeyed golden locks.
I remember when I was an adolescent and blue eye shadow was the 'thing' and I was experimenting with it, my father took one look and said "why would you want to wear that stuff, you are beautiful without it" and I married a man who has thought me beautiful whether I was dressed to the 9's or vomiting as his children grew in my widening belly. I have been thin and agile and slower and heavier, and as I age, I see the same look in his eyes (only deeper) when we share simple moments that I saw when we were kids in love. I somehow can't imagine what it would be like to roll over in the middle of the night and see the guy with the eyeball on the back of his head laying there-or the bleeding mouth while 'necking'...lol. Creepin' me out too Noa!
When I see the woman 'vampire' I want to hug her, because I feel like love is what she needs not hardware in her temples. I am saddened that this is what she felt she needs to 'protect herself'. I'd like to be able to understand the motivation behind some of the more devilish, menacing 'decoration'- because I see it as something that keeps the wearer from so many opportunities for relationship. What I mean to say is it is frightening to others when first encountered. Even if the wearer is as gentle as a teddy bear there is a segment of the population that will automatically judge them upon appearence alone. I'm not saying that's right, just that it happens.
My daughter and her ex partner both have large tattoos covering much of their bodies-artistic and meaningful tattoos to them-and both must cover them when working. My daughter came home from college with her first one in the first semester, a tattoo of her grandma's name that had passed away-above a butterfly on her behind. Now I'm sure she did it because she loved her grandmother, but I'm also sure her grandmother would not wish to have her name appear on my daughters arse!!
Anyway, my opinion is why put images like those in the article above all over you, images that you may indeed wish you had not at some point in the future? I agree with the last post...at least make it something beautiful or meaningful if you're going to do it. There are so many ways to express oneself-I guess I just don't get it when it comes to body art like these.
not good
Now I'm sure that our "civilization" is well into its decadent stage (not long before the dissolution stage).
Some of these folks must be seriously disturbed, especially the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. I can't imagine how the Asian woman will carry this in her life.

I don't believe that these negative, destructive, deathly images are just showing up by chance. I believe that there is a conspiracy to destroy culture going on and part of the program is promoting these goul images as cool to young children.
As far as popular culture goes, this started out just in the music industry with the introduction of groups like Kiss but then the goul images started showing up in clothing and also horror films have been "in style" for years.
This destruction of culture actually began in the high class world with artists like Picasso and modern music that was full of dissonance. Its time we stopped assuming this was all coincidence (or that somehow we just don't understand what others see in it) and demand beauty in all the artwork that we expose ourselves to and reject everything else.
Can anyone even verify that these really are people with tatoos and not just photoshopped pictures? I smell a mind control operation....
A lifetime ago, I was a music major in college. There I learned that art and music precede and influence cultural change. I believe this is true. Look at fashion, for example. Those baggy pants that men wear began with rap music. Hairstyles, clothing, tattoos, piecings, hand signals, and occult symbols all take their lead from music videos.
Knowing this, we can create our own trends. Have a Facebook page? Each of us has the power to start a counter-culture of positive, uplifting images and music. We can start a blog and load it with things that we want to become manifest in our world. The sky's the limit.
Those dark images didn't get to be popular overnight. How many little, wide-eyed Hannah Montana fans grew up to become Miley Cyrus worshippers? The same can be done with positive messages.
I remember a time before people jogged in the streets and it was cool to eat yogurt. Trends change with the will of the people. We can create our own mass movements. We could make it cool to boycott GMO foods and practice permaculture, for example. We could make it hip to be a creative individual rather than a programmed consumer.
Never before have ordinary people had ready-access to an audience of millions of people at zero cost. The internet and other technologies have given us the power to influence our world.
C'mon, let's start some new trends!
