These Are Some Of The Coolest Tattoos Ever
Ancient Practice
Tattoos are an ancient cultural practice, and it is still prevalent currently. They were used in coming-of-age ceremonies and also in ceremonial rituals. But today, it’s used as an expression of the self.
The individuality of an expressive form of art leads to many different types and styles of tattoos. Some of the most creative tattoos follow.

Giraffe

Here’s a pretty piece of line art that depicts a giraffe. But there’s more to it than that if you look a little closer at what the lines actually spell out. The lines actually read, “stand tall.” Now that’s a fitting quote for a giraffe.
This tattoo is a reminder about the trepidations of life and how it’s not always easy being human. But as long as we learn from our mistakes and stand tall in life, everything will work out.
