Beer Tattoos: 2018 Edition

It’s time for the next installment of Beer Tattoos. This year craft beer lovers are even more enthusiastic to share their #BrewLife with the world by getting permanently inked. We’re seeing more and more ink on Instagram. Exponentially more beer-themed tattoos than in previous years. The tattoo designs are bigger, bolder and some are out-of-this-world creative! These are some of our favorite from around the world.

Hops & Hop Bines

This is probably the most common beer tattoo. Hops work on almost any part of your body. The twisting nature of the hop bines are beautiful!

Watercolor

Honestly, these might be some of my top picks for this edition of craft beer tattoo ideas. The watercolor style is so vibrant and flowing. I love the splashes of ink and bold black accents to contrast!

Traditional & Neo Traditional

Black Ink

Brand Love

Hop Heart

So creative! The hop cone is the perfect shape to morph into a heart. If this isn’t #BeerLove, I don’t know what is!

Life-like

This is probably one of the harder styles to achieve but these artists nailed it! The first example makes me so thirsty. Am I right?!
