20 Visually Gorgeous Art Deco Tattoos

With a glamorous feel and beautiful symmetry, the art deco designs began in France and started to get noticed in the 1920s. The art featured rich colors and geometrical shapes, and its design can still be seen in some of the most beautiful architecture. The style and art lends itself perfectly to tattoos.

This beautiful tattoo by Jean Marie is just one gorgeous example of the various art deco tattoo designs we have collected. All are stunning and are going to inspire you to get more ink.
