Evidently, embroidery tattoos exist, and they look cooler than they do (30 Pics)

The use of needles is common in each of these seemingly dissimilar art styles. But that’s over. The tattoo scene has blended with embroidery, a traditional craft that you are more likely to associate with your grandma, to produce lovely, folk-inspired designs that are both original and conventional.

The outcomes are self-evident. Rich, textured patterns ‘jump’ out at you with an almost 3D appearance, giving the impression that the ink has been sewed into the skin. Several designs feature a number of tiny x’s coming together to make a larger image. This is a modern interpretation of an age-old technique.
