Letting Inner Demons Out

There are many helpful videos and written material on how to battle your inner demons and overcome them. But this guy isn’t shying away from letting them out.

With a dash of impressive art thrown in, this tattoo turned out spectacularly.

By the way, what is the meaning behind such a scary tattoo? It is no doubt an emotional story, and one this person isn’t afraid of dealing with.

Hiding A Scar Like A Boss

This neat little tattoo looks like a welder leaving a bead behind when welding and we absolutely love it.

The fact that the tattoo artist incorporated the light for the arc welder makes this tattoo stand out from the rest.

Ka-Pow!

This is one perfect example of how to use your scars to bring out some humor. We’re pretty sure it hurt a lot to get this scar and also the tattoo.

Ka-Pow!

But we have massive respect for the tattoo artist because he turned it into a work of comic book art.

Life Is An Uphill Fight

Kudos to the tattoo artist as he or she impressively created a tattoo that made us forget that we are actually looking at a scar.

It seems like the tattoo artist is a big fan of the cinematic classic, Forrest Gump, a 1994 movie in which Forrest (played by Tom Hanks) runs for days after Jenny tells him, “Run Forrest, run.”

Nailed It

So the tattoo artist created fake nails on this guy’s fingers to make them look normal. So, you can say that the tattoo artist NAILED IT big time.

It is such an impressive work that it takes time to realize what the artist did. We are happy for this guy as he no longer has to deal with annoying questions about what happened to his fingers.

Making A Caesarian Scar Even More Beautiful Than It Already Was

This is an extraordinary example of how a tattoo artist turned a tummy tuck scar into a beautiful lace ribbon. We can hope that this tattoo gave the woman more confidence going forward in her life.

Making A Caesarian Scar Even More Beautiful Than It Already Was

This tattoo shows that we need to accept our bodies regardless of scars, and even if it is ugly to you now, you may one day end up being very grateful for your scars.

A Welcome Change

You have the power to change your life and tell the story the way you want to tell it. You can make something really beautiful out of anything that is a part of your dark past.

A Welcome Change

This person had scars due to self-harm. Now, look how how he turned them into something so beautiful.

A Little Smile Goes A Long Way

Joba Chamberlain played as a pitcher in Major League Baseball for the New York Yankees, Detroit Tigers, Kansas City Royals, and Cleveland Indians.

When he got a scar due to surgery, he had a sense of humor about it. So, he turned it into a smiley face.

From Scar To Art

This tattoo is really powerful and magnificent. This woman had breast surgery and decided to get an unbelievably amazing tattoo to compliment it.

Even if you don’t like tattoos, this one will surely change your mind. After medical artistry saved her life, creative artistry gave her back lost confidence.

Zip My Ankle Up

Some people find it difficult to accept a scar and try to hide it with a tattoo, but not this person.

This person has a fantastic sense of humor about their scar. This scar needed a zipper to make it look cool after ankle surgery.

An Open Heart Surgery Tattoo

This is one awesome tattoo. Hopefully, doctors didn’t use a chainsaw during the open heart surgery at any point.

This man knew how to increase the intensity of his chest scar an,d as if using a chainsaw wasn’t enough, he even tattooed the year when he got the scar.

Cool Stitches

The scar bearer did an awesome job of making a small scar look like an impressive work of art.

Taking care of the cut requires sewing it up, so maybe this person is trying to indicate that there is still some work to be done. Maybe the physical scar healed, but the emotional scar needs time.

Now That’s A Job Well Done

The tattoo artist transformed this man’s whole back and turned it into a stunning work of art. We love how the scar adds some (well placed) color to the black and white tattoo.

Now That's A Job Well Done

We have huge respect for the tattoo artist for using an existing pigmentation difference to create something super cool.

Ferocious Inside

This ferocious-looking tattoo perfectly complemented the even fiercer attitude of the woman.

Ferocious Inside

The fact that she had the strength to get such a tattoo is inspiring for all of us. And the best thing is that the scar is completely covered up with the tattoo.
