INK THEM! New tattoo style vector released!

New packs are in town, tattoo style, bright colors, glossy elements, in the same unique style. I’ve noticed from the poll that we’ve created in the site that the tattoo vectors are the most wanted, so…. guess what? The squeaky wheel gets the oil. Or ink, hehe :), to be in theme.
We all know that each tattoo has a meaning, but a tattoo can mean something due to a certain legend, to certain religious references, or created by certain cultures. But, to all these, a tattoo is very personal, and  many times bears symbolism for the wearer alone. We hope these two vector packs are helpful and you’ll use them for great purposes, they’re all meant to glamor. You can use them for designs, logos, Cd covers, or only for fun.
Let’s take a glance into some of our team’s latest tattoo designs to see what they stand for. I hope this won’t be boring.
