Unicorn: The unicorn is a legendary animal that has been described since antiquity as a beast with a large, pointed, spiraling horn projecting from its forehead.
Rainbow Mane Unicorn
This tattoo, pictured on the wearer’s middle finger, shows a unicorn with pinkish hued fur and a multi-colored rainbow mane. While I have no qualms with the piece in question, I do find it funny that the tattoo is located next to a black and gray depiction of a skull and crossbones.
Pegasus
Unfortunately someone has mistakenly confused the mystical winged horse of lore, Pegasus, with the mystical horned horse of lore, the unicorn. Setting the mistakes of my coworkers aside, this tattoo utilizes a palette consisting of multiple pastels while the fur of the Pegasus is embellished with twinkling stars. The tattoo is pictured on the wearer’s forearm because when you have a tattoo of a purple winged horse, it needs to be flaunted.
Black and Gray Unicorn* Back Piece
A black and gray unicorn is illustrated on the upper half of the wearer’s back in this tattoo. While the work isn’t horrendous, this piece is definitely indicative of amateur work. The hooves are disproportionate and misshapen, the feathers aren’t uniform, and the unicorn’s chin is so small the animal could easily be mistaken for an aardvark playing dress-up.
Multi-Faceted Pink Portrait
This tattoo utilizes a palette of pinks, purples, yellows, oranges, and blues. It depicts a unicorn fragmented into facets.
Faceless Unicorn – A Watercolor
A unicorn’s head, devoid of a face, is pictured with watercolors smeared across the piece.

Traditional Style Unicorn
Traditional styling is used to create this piece depicting a unicorn in a bluish hue.
Surrounding Wreath
A floral wreath surrounds the portrait of a unicorn that sits atop a ribbon in this forearm piece. The tattoo is created using a pastel color palette heavy in blues, pinks, and purples.
Traditional Style Portrait with Flower and Heart Embellishments
This beautiful piece is rife with subtle details that culminate in a stunning tattoo. Gray is used to color the unicorn’s head while the harness is colored using yellow, red, and blue. The unicorn’s mane (reminiscent of a woman’s hair) is detailed with a pattern of white dots and colored pink. Underneath the portrait we see a rose and jingle bells.
That’s a Deer
Good tattoo, not a unicorn, but a good tattoo. A portrait of a male deer, or buck, ascends from a triangle in this tattoo pictured on the back of the wearer’s right arm. Ivy wraps around the deer’s antlers and pink flowers sit in the background.
Bejeweled Unicorn Over Mandala
This tattoo utilizes a purple, green, and blue color palette to illustrate a unicorn with gemstones protruding from its forehead around the horn. Another gemstone sits between the unicorn’s eyes while orange flowers, an orange mandala, and small black leaves are used to embellish the piece. This is in impeccably well done that uses shading to create depth in the unicorn’s face. Notice how the distribution of white ink creates a glimmer in the unicorn’s eyes and the jewels that accent its horn.
Simplified Black Unicorn With A Raging Erection
A hyper simplified depiction of a unicorn is pictured on the wearer’s left arm in black ink. One detail of note is the massive erection pictured between the unicorn’s hind legs. As much as we might like to idealize creatures of myth, we have to understand that a unicorn is just a glorified horse, and is consequently hung like one. I cannot begin to speculate what would possess someone to permanently adorn their body with such an outrageous image except pure, unadulterated idiocy. Good luck getting a job when the interviewer realizes you like to sexualize creatures of lore.

Black ink is used to create the image of a unicorn encapsulated in a geometric shape. The piece is located on the wearer’s left shoulder blade and the main image is accented with watercolor smudges.
Cartoon Unicorn Portrait

A small purple embellishment is used to create separation between the unicorn’s horn and the head of the fabled creature. Star shapes are distributed throughout the piece to create the effect of the animal glittering and the piece is surrounded by an ornate picture frame, the piece is located on the wearer’s left bicep.
Hyper-Colorful Traditional Style Unicorn Portrait
This tattoo, pictured on the wearer’s left forearm, utilizes traditional styling and a diverse color palette to create a cartoon-style portrait of a unicorn surrounded by a frilly portrait embellished with a bow.
Grim Unicorn
This unicorn, illustrated on the wearer’s left forearm, looks grossly displeased with its rendering. Despite a color palette using blues and purples on the head and a rainbow for the horn, this unicorn is far from joyous. This tattoo is proof that even unicorns are capable of experiencing depression. Let’s use this an opportunity to raise awareness for the effect mental illness has on cryptozoological animals.
…I Think That’s a Cosmic Fox
This beautiful tattoo uses the outline of a fox to encapsulate a swirl of cosmic activity in a vibrant color palette. The piece is located on the wearer’s right shoulder blade.
