23 Incredible Snake Tattoos To Get Wrapped Up In

  • November 3, 2022
  • Kristen

Snake tattoos are one of the most popular choices for a tattoo out there. I have two on myself! Snakes generally hold more masculine energy than feminine, but as you shall soon see from this extensive list that feminine snake tattoos are popular and hold the feminine essence with grace with respect.

I went on a deep dive again and found some of the most beautiful, ominous and interesting snake tattoos out there. Let’s take a look…

1. Pink Snake Tattoo

When I saw this cute little girly snake tattoo, I immediately made a parallel in my brain between her and the pink panther! Nothing screams “girl” quite like the color pink!

My favorite part about this piece is how the artist only used different shades of pink to give her depth; simply irresistible.

2. Rainbow Snake Tattoo

This looks like every little girl’s dream tattoo, a rainbow snake! I love the girly look of this piece; it is such an interesting take on a usually hardcore snake tattoo.

The artist’s ability to shade the colors into one another is outstanding; smooth and clean, just how we like it. My favorite part about this piece is the childish, playlike imagery that the artist captured with this snake. Overall this piece is a knockout!

3. Black Work Realism Snake Tattoo

These shoulder snake tattoos are creeping their way into my heart; time for a new tattoo appointment!

I love the placement and size of this piece; this entire tattoo is a statement piece. I love the darker hues used by the artist, it has an ominous feeling which I love. the lines are clean and bold, this tattoo gets a ten out of ten from me!

4. Realistic Blue Snake

This tattoo might be the most striking one on this list yet. I can’t keep my eyes off of it! The geometric element the artist added here by the placement of the circles makes the tattoo stand out.

My favorite part about this tattoo is the bold oceanic blue the artist packed so well here; the use of white ink to make the scales of the snake stand out was a smart move. I love the play on imagery here, the artist made this piece enigmatic and powerful. Bravo!

5. Small Hip Snake Tattoo

If you’re looking for something a little bit more delicate, a small, simple snake tattoo on the hip is always a good option.

Check out how realistic this little guy is at such a small scale! I love how it twists and turns giving the artist more room to show off detail.

7. Snake Bicep Tattoo

One of my favorite traits of tattoos is one like this, where the design has room to wrap and weave around the body part. A perfect design for our little snake friend.

8. Traditional Snake and Dagger Tattoo

Opening this list with a killer snake and dagger combo! I love the traditional tattoo style, especially two traditional pieces mashed together.

The bold and dark lines make this tattoo stand out from the rest. I love the artist’s minimalistic approach with the shading combined with the bold lines; chefs kiss!

The placement and imagery used on this hand tattoo are insane. I love how the snake’s tongue forks out into the two fingers; that is a unique twist, and I like it.

The line work is impeccable, and the shading has just the right amount of darkness. My favorite feature on this piece is the use of white ink in the scales and teeth.

10. Snake Spine Tattoo

Nothing beats a good old-fashioned spine tattoo and this one is no exception. I like how the width of the snake tattoo gets wider and wider as it gets higher on the back.

Two snakes are for certain better than one, I mean… how cool is this tattoo? I love the placement and overall design of this piece. The tattooer definitely has a keen eye, that’s for sure.

I love the simplicity of the block shading used here combined with the medium-weighted lines; it gives this tattoo the power it holds! My favorite part about this tattoo are the long, fierce fangs on the snakes.

Just like I mentioned earlier, two snakes are better than one, but do you know what is better than two snakes? Two traditional snakes of course!

I love that the artist only used the primary colors; less is more in this case. The bold lines hold the color in place and make it even bolder than it already is. Outstanding work here!

14. Snake With Many Eyes Tattoo

It is quite clear that the eyes on this gorgeous specimen of a tattoo are what make heads turn in a crowded room! The artist really went wild using their creative ability; I admire that from one artist to another.

The dark black out shading behind the eyes makes the eyes even more daunting and intriguing to look at. The lines are clean and keep the darkness intact. This might be my favorite one on this list!

15. Feminine Floral Snake Tattoo

20 of the most incredible snake tattoos you’ll feast your eyes on!

Snakes generally tend to hold more masculine energy than feminine, so when I see a feminine snake tattoo, I almost jump out of my seat, eager to look at it!

I love that the artist used a realistic technique to make the tattoo pop. The lines are soft and thin, giving the tattoo the feminine essence it holds. Using sunflowers was a bold, wise move as sunflowers symbolize joy and happiness, juxtaposing the snake.

16. Colourful Double-Eyed Snake

This is definitely one unique piece! I love the double-eyed imagery the artist used here, you can see this is a custom design from a mile away.

My favorite part about this piece is the color palette, I love the choice of red combined with the blues and purples; such a cool twist!

17. Goddess Moon Snake Tattoo

I love the imagery here, the goddess moon is a feminine element that the artist balanced out with the masculine snake; very clever design, indeed.

I admire the dot-shading technique the artist used to make the snake appear soft and gentle. I love the use of the gold ink in contrast to the saturated black body of the snake; this is a stunner of a tattoo!

18. Wrap Around Snake Leg Tattoo

Here we have another unique twist on a snake tattoo; it’s wrapped around someone’s leg! The imagery of this piece is definitely what makes this tattoo a stand-out piece.

My favorite part about this tattoo is how the artist incorporated specks of red along the snake’s body. Color can make a huge difference to how bold a tattoo appears.

19. Doodle Snake Tattoo

I love the childish, surreal play on imagery the artist has encapsulated here. I feel like this is a snake I ran away from in a dream I had when I was five years old.

The best part about this tattoo is the line work; this might be the crispiest lines I have seen to date! My favourite feature on this creature is his silly face; this is what makes this tattoo special to me.

20. Black Work Ouroboros Snake `Tattoo

The first thing that jumps out to me is how awesome the design of this piece is; it looks like a print copy of a snake, this is the first time I have seen this kind of shading technique, and I love it!

I love the symbolism of the ouroboros snake, which symbolizes the endless cycle of life, rebirth, and death.

21. Dainty Floral Snake Tattoo

Another take on a snake tattoo in making it feminine; I love the play on imagery here, combining the floral element with the snake makes it girly and gentle.

The soft fine lines and gentle shading embody that feminine essence. I love the almost human-like look the snake has in its eyes, too.

22. Hyper Realistic Snake Tattoo

This is just plain and simply an absolute masterpiece. This works well as a tattoo (as we can see!), and it could work well as a painting in a museum or a poster on my wall; what a versatile work of art!

What I admire most about this tattoo is the tattooer’s remarkable artistic ability, I could stare at this piece for hours! I love the colors used, the yellow ink next to the black makes this piece even more realistic than what it already is!
