Robots are intrinsically fascinating, especially now that we almost have the technological capability to create what once was only a science fiction fan’s dream. We’re not quite there, however, and so we continue to give life to our imaginations of a robot inhabited world through the most permanent means at our disposal: ink. Here are some of the most creative and well done robot tattoos around:

Much of popular culture involving robots deals with the differences between man and machine, with a main focus being emotion. Can robots learn to feel? Whether they can or not in reality, they certainly can in our tattoos.

Robots are all about being giant and menacing. Full of mechanical power and intimidating height and strength, it’s natural that you’d want your robot tattoo to have the same larger than life presence.
Endless Variety
