Zues tattoo full back

No other tattoo designs convey a message as clear as word tattoos. Yeah, you’re right; it’s because the message is literally written on your skin! No cryptic symbols or surreal images for people (and most importantly, yourself) to wonder what your ink means. And although you might think that these are very simple tattoos, just wait until you see the examples we’ve rounded up in our list. They’re often very far from simple and definitely inspiring!

As you might've realized from our publications on the Facebook group 'What in the $20 wish tattoo machine is this?' or the 'That's It, I'm Inkshaming' group, sadly, subpar tattoos are pretty common. Which makes the good ones even more admirable.

Our necks have necklaces, ears have earrings, wrists have bracelets, and fingers have rings. Yet, chests... well, they have chest hair which isn't that impressive at all when you think about it. Okay, ladies usually don't have hair on their chests but that's not what we are talking about here. Some people, though, have found the perfect way to go about the bleakness of their chests and adorned them with incredible tattoo artworks.

With shows like Vikings and The Last Kingdom, Viking culture and Norse mythology are on the rise again. They were fierce, great sailors, and had excellent hygiene, so I get where the fascination comes from.
