So we’ve firmly established that a hummingbird tattoo can also be a ‘man’s man’ tattoo but if you’re still not convinced, let’s take it to a whole new level with this one; a burly man sporting the little sweet bird in question plus with colorful flowers and an elegant butterfly for good measure. I know it’s hard to admit it but this piece undeniably works. It provides a layer of mystery to what is considered to be a one-dimensional and predictable look.

These watercolor tattoos never get old in fact, they are some of the most inventive and ingenious works being done these days. Take for example this piece.

What’s even better is that there are strategically placed blots at the edges, at the end of the strokes, to make this piece seem more realistic and it sure looks legit to me. This hummingbird watercolor tattoo is perfectly imperfect.

This is clearly a nod to the artistically inclined amongst us, those artsy fartsy folks, you know, the hipsters? I kid of course! Truth be told, this is a very creative spin on a very common tattoo design. Just look at the way the mountains were incorporated in the hummingbird design, that’s highly innovative and original–I haven’t seen quite like it before. And the way the artist utilized contrast and silhouette to create an abstract, almost zen-like feel to the entire piece is nothing short of enlightening. Truly, this hummingbird tattoo is mesmerizing.

7.Watercolor Back

It’s one of the most painful spots to tattoo on and with this relatively sizable piece, I could just imagine how incredibly excruciating it would’ve been to sit through this one.

Well I guess by now you’ve already figured out why this tiny, unassuming black and grey hummingbird tattoo is sitting mightily high on the countdown. As much as the piece is skillfully and elegantly done, the reason for it being at number 5 is because of its meaning or the motivation behind it. It is a portrait of a daughter’s undying love for her father–that even time and death can’t stop true love but rather it strengthens it. Whether or not that message is especially intended for a Hollywood icon or just for an ordinary individual is immaterial. This hummingbird tattoo is profoundly beautiful regardless of where or how it came to be.

4.Watercolor Magic

This hummingbird tattoo is enchanting. It’s like being a kid again, witnessing magic for the first time. In a way the artist of this piece is like a magician. You don’t know how he/she did it but it doesn’t matter because you’re amazed by it. And that says a lot because I’ve seen a fare share of amazing tattoos in my life and seeing something that amazes me to no end–not to mention not knowing how such color saturation can be achieved–rarely ever happens. This tattoo in a way has rejuvenated the sense of wonderment that I somewhat lost over the years and that, to me, is magical!

3.Love Birds

This hummingbird tattoo is pure love–not only at first sight but at multiple glances and even for eternity (if such word is even applicable to mortals like us). The birds are so lifelike that it seemed like they would fly out of that lady’s chest at any moment. The tattoo just has everything going for it. The concept, execution and especially the placement were seamlessly coordinated together to create a breathing and pulsating art work for the senses. If there is such a thing as an everlasting love, then this tattoo is the embodiment of that concept.

2.Hips Don’t Lie

Tons of Stunning Hummingbird Tattoo and Designs

If someone says that there’s an immaculate, almost perfect hip tattoo out there, I would say that that person is lying. Apparently, I’m completely wrong. This piece is indeed immaculate! And to borrow Carol’s line of The Walking Dead fame (though for a completely opposite purpose and context) “Just look at the flowers.” Yep, those flowers alone would be enough to drive you mad with desire. And don’t get me started with the exquisite bird or the ghostly lining; those would surely drive you over the edge. This hummingbird hip tattoo is killing me softly with its indescribable beauty.

1.Bird of Paradise

If that hip tattoo will drive you mad with desire, then this floral hummingbird shoulder tattoo will give you a high, a sense of euphoria unlike any other. It’s the epitome of perfection; every line, stroke, hue and shade is divine and immaculately polished–like a higher power was at work when the piece was conceived and subsequently brought to life. If the ‘Garden of Eden’ where true, I would imagine that it would look similar to this tattoo.

For those reasons and many other metaphysical mumbo-jumbo that I came up with on a fly (I do this a lot when I’m utterly impressed), and by the power vested in me by the tattoo gods, I declare this piece the number one, most stunning hummingbird tattoo in the entire universe!
