Tattoos have been around for centuries. Tattoos in ancient civilizations were used as spiritual, religious, and cultural symbols. Although tattoos for decorative purposes did exist, it hasn’t been until recently that tattoos have been primarily decorative. Today, tattoos are considered an art form in their own right. People get tattoos that are meaningful but also beautiful. Some people even choose tattoos based on looks alone. This tattoo optical illusion might have been just that…

Anyone looking at this tattoo optical illusion will most likely see a man’s face first. However, look a little closer and you can clearly see that this tattoo is actually a clever optical illusion. The man’s face is really a mermaid. Take a look at his mustache, for instance, which is really his tail. The eye on the right is actually a fish, and the man’s chin is formed by the mermaid’s tail.

I have three tattoos so far, one which was just recently added a couple of weeks ago, but I have yet to get inked with an optical illusion. That might be my next tattoo, though.

Would you ever get a tattoo optical illusion? What about something like this creepy throat tattoo?
