Frame tattoos have become increasingly popular recently owing to their generally attractive styles and aesthetic value with stunning images.

Rectangular tattoos of framed designs have been popularized by South Korea and these Korean styled tattoos are the most common frame design tattoos around and usually lack definite tattoo borders. Landscape tattoos are usually the subject of these rectangular tattoos.

Although such tattoos originated in South Korea, as they spread around the world, they got modified from one country to the other, the tattooist EQ popularized the ongoing rectangular version, offering a variety of styles depicting everyday scenes in a beautiful way. Although frame tattoos don’t possess any fixed inner meaning, they can be inspired by your creativity to be anything and mean anything.

Frame tattoos are becoming increasingly popular due to their ability to combine both traditional and modern styles in one piece.

What are some of the best frame tattoo designs?

Frame tattoos come in a variety of styles and designs, so the best way to find something that suits your style is to do some research.

Frame tattoos can also be used to create portraits or meaningful words. With their endless possibilities, frame tattoos can be customized to fit your individual taste.

How much does a frame tattoo cost?

The cost of a frame tattoo depends on several factors, such as the complexity of the design and size.
