Celebrate National Coloring Book Day with 30 Illustrative Tattoos

These tattoos look like they jumped out of a sketch book and onto someone's skin!

August 2nd is National Coloring Book Day, a holiday that was established by Dover Publishing in 2015. In true Inked fashion, we’re celebrating this day with tattoos that appear to have been pulled straight from a sketch book. Over the past several years, illustrative tattoos have become a popular request in shops around the world. And what better way to celebrates the joys of coloring that with drawing-inspired tattoos? Take a look at 30 impressive illustrative tattoos in the gallery below, then let us know your thoughts on this story in the comments section.

Red panda or also called a red cat-bear is native to the eastern Himalayas and southwestern China. It is listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List because the wild population is estimated at fewer than 10,000 mature individuals. Red pandas are roughly the size of a domestic cat, though with a longer body and somewhat heavier. The bright colored red fur of these pandas is excellent camouflage in their habitat as their preferred species of fir trees have similar shade bark. #redpanda

2 years ago Joan came for a predrawn design of the tiger and bees. Last year we started building around this thigh tattoo with the theme of tigers and flowers. I added a tiger skull and paw, rope, wild roses and peonies.

Little kitten egg. Meowser in a making. our animal friends make us happy and give us comfort. On sad days we might find ourselves YouTubing soothing videos of cats and dogs getting in to trouble, clumsy lions falling off ledges or penguins flopping over like bowling pins. I very much enjoy tattooing pet portraits and animals in general. Done at @nixtattooshow Toronto Canada.

Second year in a row I’ve had the fortune to work with @lizard__milk on this beautiful person and dear friend of ours @misanthropie666: this was the first collaboration originally that Nomi and I did together! So so happy it was for Guillaume; who started @queerbodmodcompass and is just the best. Thank you #qttr
