In the sea of tattoo enthusiasts, only a few have the guts to choose a gun tattoo design.
When opting for body ink, there are thousands of tattoo designs to choose from and a variety of body areas to consider. For the new, innocent or naïve collector, easy choices are flower tattoo designs, tribal and Celtic designs, crosses, and the oh-so-common skulls. Once you pick your poison, you must then embark on the decision of body placement. From the neck to the naval and below the belt locations such as the hip and loins, where you choose to place your tattoo proves to show a lot about you.
Turns out, getting a tattoo is more complicated than you think. So, it kind of makes sense brave and frustrated collectors get rebellious and turn to gun tattoos for all the answers.
On the surface level, guys with gun tattoos may appear hyper-masculine, parading their power to warn their prey. But, we wonder if this tattoo trend has a certain something in common with dudes who feel the need to drive excessively big trucks. Chicks with gun tattoos automatically win Suicide Girls hot points, but whether or not they’re interested in dudes with matching tats is a whole other discussion.
From guys with something to prove to girls with nothing to hide, check out our top twelve picks for gun tattoos.
1. This gun ‘n’ blood-splattered rose tattoo pic doesn’t reveal an exact location on the body, but it’s safe to assume this artsy design is best placed on the stomach or back. The vivid colors and intricate, insinuating design make it a killer gun tattoo.
2. Well, what could be a more appropriate spot for a gun tattoo than the loins? Though it may stop ol’ six pack here from makin’ the cover of next month’s Men’s Health.
3. The dueling minute M16s tat on the upper back says, “I think I’m a badass, but am a bit conflicted about the message I’m trying to convey.” Whether he’s battling his own masculinity or is just a modest dude, we can’t say – but we’re digging the tattoo, and can’t argue with the placement, either.
4. Perhaps this is the tattoo equivalent of a secret weapon. Don’t mess with this dude or he may tear his shoe off and side-kick you to the face.
5. Despite the fact that this gun tattoo is placed in a very common spot, the intricate design and color scheme of the pistol is just plain mind-blowing. I’m kind of in pain just looking at it.
6. Cocked and loaded, this very sexy gun tat is appropriately worn by an equally hot gal, at least from the chest up. Suicide Girls hot points for sure.
7. A considerable improvement from gun tattoo #2, where central alignment is put into consideration. But, can’t you just picture a David Hasslehoff look-a-like rocking this open-chested plaid shirt?
8. Err, we’re not really sure if this dude is suicidal. But his extra large phallic gun may leave the ladies wondering something else entirely.
9. So the gun from Nintendo’s Duck Hunt may not strike fear in to the hearts of any would be attackers, but its glaring quality does help shift focus away from those weird pink hairless spots up his stomach. Bullet wounds? Maybe there is one legit reason for a gun tattoo out of the whole lineup.
10. Just a girl looking to meet her match. I spy a lethal love connection with equally conflicted gun tattoo contestant number three.
11. This bold kissing guns tattoo may be the first acceptable reason for any chick to rock a crop top since 1993.
12. We’ve saved the best for last. There’s no better way to end our list than this pair of well-designed guns inked across a hot girl’s taut tummy. We can’t help but let our eyes go down on her, in more ways than one.
