Believe it or not, scratch mark tattoos are actually very popular. Not only do they catch peoples’ eyes from afar, but sometimes, the scratch mark themselves even look realistic, causing those who view the designs to either shutter or gasp. And whether those who get them are aiming to bring their prior suicidal behavior to light or just wanting a painful and scary looking design, the tattoos themselves do look neat and certainly make for a great list – which is why we’ve created the showcase below!
