Tattoos literally represent perspectives, social philosophies and changes in culture via the human body, and Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) are the latest addition to that ancient tradition. Since early civilization, the human body has been art’s most permanent messenger. Body art boasts a commitment to tribal metrology systems, cultural phenomena, religions, and even reflects the changing times by using the human body as a vessel.
In the information age, as the world slowly shifts to an increasingly permanent form of internet, NFTs represent a kind of digital permanence. It shares strikingly similar values to IRL body art. Unlike web2 infrastructures, Non Fungible Tokens (NFTs) are tied to the duration of a blockchain. In the ever-increasing use of web3 technology, NFT tattoos represent a growing spirit of digital immortalization.
Following the rise of the NFT industry, tattoo artists have increased their relevance in many ways. A tattoo of an NFT allows the web3 community to take “Diamond Hands” to a whole new level! Let’s take a look at all things NFT Tattoo below!
Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) have been making waves in the art world lately. Furthermore, digital artists have found a new way to make money and showcase their work. NFTs are unique digital assets verified on a blockchain, meaning they cannot be duplicated or counterfeited.
If you are considering getting an NFT tattoo purely as an investment, it is important to note that the value of NFTs can be very volatile and unpredictable. While some NFTs have sold for millions of dollars, others have sold for much less or even failed to sell at all.
That said, if you are interested in NFT tattoos for their artistic value or as a way to show off your love for a particular artist or creator, then the value of the NFT token may not be as important to you. In this case, the value of the tattoo is subjective and depends on personal taste and preferences.
Some artists take this concept even further by imprinting their NFTs on the skin in the form of tattoos. Below, we will dive deep into notable communities and individuals in the space who represent digital and physical permanence in their belief in web3!
In December 2022, the Rektguy NFT collection made headlines in the NFT space as its community. This was because the token increased to increase its value to a floor price of 1 ETH on OpenSea. The campaign gained momentum when the project’s co-founder OSF promised to get a tattoo of the iconic creation when the goal was reached. This demonstrated the powerful connection between NFTs and real-world actions. Thanks to the community’s solidarity and support, the floor price remains at an impressive floor price of 1.26 ETH on OpenSea.
As soon as the value reached 1 ETH, founder OSF (@OSF_Rekt) had his iconic Rektguy NFT on!
As the Rektguy project continues to evolve, there is no doubt that even more milestones are on the horizon. And with each new achievement, OSF and other bold members of the rektguy community can once again find themselves in the thick of it, as they celebrate the power of NFTs to bring people together and inspire change in the real world.
Twitter user @TheMoneyLeg describes itself as “a living, walking and LIFETIME promoting NFT Community project”. He recently took AlienFrens on his leg. Money Leg also promises to add more NFTs to cover his leg complete with digital collectibles. In response, many other collectors/keepers followed this small but significant movement!
CryptoPunk and their creators Larva Labs’ spin-off project “Larva Lads” represents a large part of what the NFT space is all about – having fun and building in web3. In a major endorsement of this project, NFT artist and collector raws.eth rang 2022 with a bang by revealing something special to the Twitterverse. He got a tattoo of his beloved Larva Lad NFT!

Below, let’s learn about some of the innovators who are combining tattoo culture with the power of the blockchain to create new spaces and break new ground in body art.
In 2022, Cosmic Wire and celebrity tattoo artist Ivana Belakova partnered to release their exclusive tattoo art as NFTs. These serve as VIP tickets to her events across Dubai, Europe and LA. The NFTs offer holders exclusive access to live tattoo sessions and a chance to win a custom tattoo of their own, along with other physical items displaying their NFT tattoo.
Pass holders can also take part in fireplace chats with Ivana’s celebrity customers at luxurious arenas, yachts and restaurants. These destinations span Europe and the United States. This exclusive NFT experience is a unique opportunity for tattoo, art and NFT enthusiasts to be part of the cutting edge of digital art and entertainment.
As the tattoo industry expands into the NFT space, one artist stands out from the rest: Bang Bang. Keith McCurdy aka Bang Bang, is a famous tattoo artist who has drawn some of the world’s biggest celebrities. They include Rihanna, Justin Bieber and Katy Perry. But in recent months he has also made a name for himself in the NFT world.
For the past five years, Bang Bang has been working with researchers at the University of Colorado to develop a tattoo ink made from photochromic microcapsules, aptly named “tech tattoos.” These tattoos create a unique color-changing effect that is activated by UV light. This causes the tattooed image to transform before your eyes. Bang Bang sees this technology as an opportunity to bridge the gap between tattoo culture’s desire for individuality and the unique characteristics of NFTs.
In fact, he has already made history by selling the first ever rewritable tattoo as a 1/1 NFT for an impressive 100 Ether (ETH), (~$100,000). It is clear that Bang Bang is at the forefront of a new movement that pushes the boundaries of what is possible with tattoos. With his bold experimentation and artistic vision, he is paving the way for a new era of tattoo culture that embraces technology and innovation like never before.
In late 2021, rap superstar Gunna purchased a Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT worth over $300,000. The rapper wasted no time getting the tattoo permanently affixed to his body. He christened his Ape (BAYC #2759) as “Butta”, and had the digital asset snapped up.
The Invisible Friends community has a running joke about the “No Ragrets” tattoo from the movie “We’re The Millers”. But the brand has arguably the best artwork and concept associated with it. This vibrant community is attracting followers on the way to becoming a legacy NFT brand. Invisible Friends currently has over 500,000 followers on Twitter, and some super fans have their friends tattooed on themselves! Check some out below:
Ultimately, whether an NFT tattoo is worth it depends on your individual goals and priorities. It is important to do your research and carefully consider the potential risks and benefits before making a decision.
