Surrealism tattoos turn the skin into a dream journal, collaging statues, flora, celestial objects, and impossible architecture into poetic narratives. Soft gradients and muted palettes heighten the otherworldly mood.
The style nods to Salvador Dalí, René Magritte, and modern digital collage artists who blend realism with imagination. Tattooers layer double exposures, floating figures, and warped perspective to create scenes that feel both familiar and uncanny. Collect surreal tattoo ideas to map out potential symbolism.
