This shaded mountain tattoo is above another symbol of the mountain which is nothing but an outline of it.

Abstract things are often incorporated beautifully to general a piece of art. You can add various colors to enhance the look of your design.

I love how the mountains have been added by Japanese clouds. The rays of the sun look pretty cool too. It is not too over the top, but the little lines let it have an elegant touch.

• Mountains With Trees

To be honest, the trees seem to be a little overpowering it is because of the prominent black ink that has been used.

You can observe two mountains on the wearer’s skin. It looks like some part under the ground has been cut out to form a triangle.

If you are an adventure-seeking person, this hiking on the mountain tattoo is great. And if in case you have been missing on your daily exercise, this can serve as a reminder too.

This tattoo is very touching. You can take it for a father-daughter duo because if you notice the reflection, the image of the girl is of when she was young. Both of them are looking towards the view which incorporates the mountains and the setting sun. Probably it has been their special spot for years!

• Serene Mountain Tattoo

The intricacy of the forest is very appealing. I like how the dot work has been done to fill in the gaps.

You do not have to get a huge mountain just because it is so in real life. You can get tiny hills on your fingers too!

The attractive part of the design is how you can notice the roots that are dangling out of the oval outline.

Quite a creative, I must say. The location of the tattoo is very apt too, because that’s where the heartbeats are, right? The heartbeats can be easily molded into forming the mountain patterns and it looks very creative too.

• Desert Mountain Tattoo

So when we draw a pattern of mountain tattoo, we always think of adding trees and rivers flowing through it with abundance of flora and fauna. But you can also reverse the trick by adding nothing but cactus and represent it as barren land. It is something out of the box for sure.

• Waves of Mountain Tattoo

The pattern of this mountain represents the waves of an ocean. Both are vast and miles apart from each other, yet have similar patterns.

Everyone must have dreamt of the flying sheep, cows or even a unicorn, but how bizarre is a flying pig? Alternatively, it can also be rather cute looking at a plump little piggy flying over the mountains. A little fantasy is always necessary for the real life.

• Pretty Mountain Tattoo

Once again straight out of a cartoon series, this tattoo is also very homely. And I am not just saying this because of the cute little hut but the smoke that is going out of the chimney which represents that it’s almost dinner time!

To make things the simplest, and I don’t really think it can be any further simpler, this design of a simple triangle to represent a mountain is pretty cool.

An abstract pattern can not be more abstract than this one. Look how the lines and curves on the mountains have given a certain texture to the beautiful hills.

• Inner Arm Tattoo

Getting a tattoo on your inner arm is exquisite because it makes for an easily hideable place for your tattoos.

• Half Arm Tattoo

You can decide to incorporate all the elements with the basic mountain design and can extend the design to the whole arm.

• Abstract Colorful Mountain Tattoo

I love how the reflection of the mountains is totally opposite to the real image of the hill. The reflection is, first of all, done in an abstract pattern. All the abstract patterns are further colored in different colors and that’s where all the beauty lies.

This tattoo pattern as beautiful and breathtaking as is its realistic quotient. The view of this mountain can leave anyone awestruck and of course, the whole credit goes to the make manship.
