The Choice of a Rat Tattoo
Just like their real-life counterparts, a rat tattoo is something of a peculiar taste, but for those who are fans of rats, there are some that are extremely nice looking, and many that are humorous, based on the caricature rats can be used as.
Some people actually have a tattoo of a pet rat on them, while others like to send out a message about a rat fink, which if you're not familiar with that meaning, it's someone who tells on someone else. It's called "ratting" in America. Special tattoos are made to say what someone thinks of that.
Rats as a cartoon figure are among the favorite images used in rat tattoos, but there are some that are serious works of art, as in any tattoo theme people choose to create or have inked on them.
Overall I was surprised at the large variety of rat tattoos there are to choose from out there, and the popularity of the theme.
I thought it would be just as hard to find someone with a rat tattoo as it is an owner of a real rat, but that wasn't the case.

The first tattoo of a rat I chose was probably, as far as a work of art goes, up there with the best of them in this particular genre.

In the rat tattoo on the chest below, I made it a larger size because the uniformity of color made it difficult to see, and you also miss a lot of the detail because of that.

Pretty interesting rat on a skull tattoo. We're starting to get out of the more serious part of the grouping and getting more into the cartoon and fun types. As for the color below, it doesn't do much for me. But a rat on a skull is a necessity for those serious about the theme.

When enjoying an Asian theme, it is amazing how artists can take almost anything and fit it in and make it work. Who would have thought a rat and a flower would go together, but there you have it.
