Put Your 3D Glasses On To See These Anaglyph Tattoos

With 3D tattoos raging, anaglyph tattoos are an offbeat alternative for your inner geek.

What's an anaglyph? It is not a 3D picture. It is the combination of two identical 2D pictures, one red and the other blue. But if you put some 3D glasses on, then, the two images will form one, in three dimensions.

Anaglyph tattoos are inspired by this stereoscopic effect. Most of them have an old school and minimalistic look. Simple designs with red and blue ink are creative and funky. But you can also try more complex and realistic anaglyph designs...

Some tattoo artists really specialize in anaglyph tattoos and their creations are trending all over the internet. If you haven't succumbed to the 3D craze yet, take a look at these cool anaglyph tattoos...
