18 Super Realistic-Looking Tattoos Just As Incredible As Cara Delevingne's

by Emily Arata

If there's one rising supermodel who never shies away from a challenge, it's Cara Delevingne. When she's not acting or hanging out with Karl Lagerfeld, Delevingne's pursuing her dearest passion: getting inked.

Days ago, we showed you Delevingne's hyper-realistic new tattoo, a pair of “Great Gatsby”-style eyes on the back of her neck. It joins her finger-sized lion, DD initials and back piece.

You can admire Keith “Bang Bang” McCurdy's intricate work, but the reality is, most people can't fly into New York City and skip the celebrity artist's lengthy line in order to get a piece done.

Luckily, there are hundreds of equally talented artists around the world. Should you decide to get your own all-seeing eyes, take a look at some of the best tattoo art on Instagram.

Once you've found an artist you love, the rest will follow.

Start with a simple idea, like a favorite photograph.

Or, you can just go with a second mouth.

A kooky portrait could fit, too.

If you're arachnophobic, maybe pass on the spider tattoos.

But a butterfly gently landing on your skin never hurt anybody.

Hope you don't have cat allergies.

Just try tearing your eyes away from this greedy raccoon. He's a little too lifelike.

No Harambe jokes, please. I can't handle any more.

Maybe you're more of an eyeball gal.

Boy, are you in for a treat on the tattoo table.

Or, try out an ultra-realistic skull as a kind of memento mori.

Statues will certainly never go out of style.

Don't get so emotional about it. We're just talking ink here.

What about wearing a piece of American history on your sleeve? Well, arm.

Or Busta Rhymes?

Even Obi-Wan will do the trick.

There's no way to go wrong with a tattoo so precise.

Delevingne will have nothing on you, no matter what you design.
