What's one thing you'd do to show your most favorite person in the world that they're, well, your favorite? If that person is a close friend or a relative, you might call or text them every day or even buy them something nice every once in a while. If that person is a celebrity or public figure, maybe you'll just familiarize yourself with all of their work. While all of these things are nice, there are plenty of people out there who will go to even greater lengths to express their admiration by, say, getting a tattoo [1] of them on their bodies.

Portrait tattoos, as they're called, aren't a new design idea at all, but they're very popular among ink-lovers. They're realistic-looking tattoos [2] that people get to memorialize important people in their lives, whether they are family members, friends, television and film characters, or celebrities. Like with any other tattoo, they can be as small [3] or as large as you want them to be, and the point is for them to look like actual portraits. We've seen a variety of portrait tattoos on social media, with some people dedicating whole sections of body art to artists like Cardi B and others getting intricate artwork of the late Kobe Bryant [4].

Whether you want a portrait tattoo yourself or are just curious to see how others have adopted the style, read ahead to check out some of our favorite designs.
