Located at the intersection where needlepoint meets badass ink are embroidery tattoos. Perfect for arts and crafts aficionados, this type of tattoo has vintage charm and texture. Embroidery tattoos don’t just look like Mee-maw stitched your latest piece—but they do have more depth than some of the other types of tattoos.
Embroidery tattoos are a bit 3-D. But unlike other 3-D tattoos, they aren’t hyper-realistic, which makes them a fun combination to play around with. They blend cutesy aesthetic with the heavy metal idea of sewing something into your skin, and it’s an ultra-feminine and creative way to stylize your next tattoo idea.
Below are some of our favorite embroidery tattoos to get your creative juices flowing for your next piece.
