Tattoo, open up ! In the following 14 tattoos, you only recognize the whole tattoo when it "opens" its hidden content...
When you decide to get a tattoo, you usually choose it for your whole life. That's why it has to be very wisely thought out and considered. It goes without saying that it should also be unique, at best. A tattoo artist by the name of Vek Van Hillik has made this very challenge his vocation. Indeed, the artworks he creates for his clients are usually placed on the arms and legs. Why? Because that's where they have the greatest potential for transformation. It all sounds very strange. But the following images will make you understand what hidden contents tattoos can actually reveal.

#1 Once Upon a Time There Was a Little Beetle ...
The beetle tattoo allows the beetle to spread its wings when the arm is stretched. Thus, you can almost make the beetle fly. It is therefore a work of art that can have a very different effect depending on the position of the arm.

#2 The Eye of The Fish
The eye of the fish is tattooed exactly on the elbow, so that the eye of the fish seems to move with the bend of the arm. So you feel directly observed.

#3 The Scary Eye of the Octopus
As long as the leg of the tattoo is bent, we have an octopus with a third eye that looks almost cute. But when the leg is stretched out, it takes on a monstrous shape that is a bit scary to look at.
The following artwork is also inspired by a sea creature.

#4 When She Stands Up, Everything Changes
There is a reason why the tattoo is called "Siamese fish". When they are stretched out, they appear to be two fish that have merged at the head, but as soon as the woman bends over, they turn into one big fish. What is interesting is the "window" in the fish itself.
A window can also be seen in the following exceptional work.

#5 The Changing House
Depending on how the man holds his arm, you can either see a ruined house with crashing waves or on a cliff, or an unusual skull breathing out air. Whichever way you look at it, it remains extraordinary.

#6 The Magic Bird ?
Here a fish is holding its head out, which allows the eye and neck area to be enlarged or shrunken when the arm is moved. It is not clear why the image is called "Birdy" and where the bird is supposed to be hidden here.

#7 Tattoo to Go
Just like the previous tattoo, what we think is an oyster stretches and closes. But what's particularly impressive here is that the tattoo was done in just one hour, which suggests a certain amount of skill.

#8 Fly Away, Little Butterfly!
When we bend our knees, the tattoo looks more like a beetle with an eye pattern. But when the image fully unfolds, we see a beautiful butterfly flying, with a pattern on each of its wings that looks like an eye.

#9 Flower, Eye or Heart?
What the image should really represent is probably left to one's imagination, but one could recognize here a flower, an eye or a heart, which intertwine according to the movement and perspective.
And if that's not creative enough...the next tattoo is!

#10 In the Eye of the Moon
This work of art seems particularly varied. We see a closed sun or moon, an open crescent moon as well as an eye and where does the staircase actually lead: Does it go down or up? It is amazing to see the possibilities offered by this tattoo!
On the other hand, the following tattoo is even more clear.

#11 The Opening Fish
Depending on the position of the arm, the head of the fish rises in this tattoo and manages to be seen upwards. Although it is not as varied as the last image, this artwork is no less fascinating.
The next tattoo is also inspired by the animal kingdom.

#12 The Fabulous Unicorn Rabbit
The rabbit with its horn is already a bit strange, but the movement of the ears in relation to the reduction of the eye is interesting in the movement. The previously alert unicorn rabbit looks more relaxed and calm.
The next tattoo is a rabbit of a slightly different kind.

#13 A Trapped Hare
What at first looks like a skull and crossbones probably belonging to a hare turns out to be the hare itself coming out when it is opened. It may be a statement about the connection between life and death, but either way, it is extremely creative.
As the following image shows, it's not just animals that can serve as models.

#14 A Freestanding Kappa
The movement of the tattoo here is mostly in the spine, which allows the kappa to straighten up and look up. A kappa is actually a Japanese mythical creature that is often associated with water. It is also surprising that the tattoo appears to have been done entirely "freehand".
