Tattoo Artist Creates the Most Realistic Portrait Tattoos

Karol Rybakowski is one of the biggest names in the world of tattoos. His portrait tattoos look as if a picture has been slapped on the subject skin, and in many cases they turn out even better than the photos that inspired them.

Karol Rybakowski studied painting at the Academy of Fine Arts, in Warsaw, before becoming a tattoo artist. About four years ago, just when his works started showing up online, people in the business who had never seen his tattoos in person actually thought that they were photoshopped.
