Nowadays, it appears that tattoo artists are free to create whatever they want. You can get a tattoo of anything that changes when you move, such as a butterfly that opens and closes its wings or a dinosaur that raises and lowers its head while eating. (Also, dinosaurs get hungry!) For individuals who enjoy glitter, you can even get tattoos that appear to shimmer. Other choices include tattoos that appear to be 3D or optical illusions.
