The brain is one of the most fascinating organs. It is a source of creativity and logic. In addition, the brain is also visually interesting and provides graphically strong tattoos, when done properly. The meaning of brain tattoos differ. The age-old matter of brain vs heart is often illustrated. A new category will soon be dedicated to this. More interested in the heart? Then check out these <a href='/tattoo-category/heart-tattoos-vol-1' title='heart tattoos'> top heart tattoos here.</a>

Approximately 75 percent of the brain is water. That means dehydration may have a damaging effect on brain functions, even in small volumes. Does that mean this artist tattooed 75 percent water here?

Very graphic brain tattoo

Aleksy marcinow

It's a myth that only 10% of our brain is used by humans. We actually use all of it. We’re even using more than 10 percent when we sleep. 

Alastronaute

Dreams are believed to be a combination of imagination, physiological and neurological factors. They show that even though you're asleep, your brain is functioning.

Albert Einstein's brain weighed 2,71 pounds (1,230 grams) that is about 10 percent less than the average of 3 pounds (1,400 grams). However, the neuron density of his brain was higher than the average.

If you're drinking alcohol and don't remember what you did last night, it's not because you forgot about it. While you're drunk, your brain is incapable of creating memories. This is why some people wake up with a tattoo without remembering they got one.

According to Taoism, 'Yin Yang always seeks the lowest ground' which means respecting Yin and Yang is more than fine, but they don't present themselves as our ruler or creator, they don't want to be worshiped anyway, and they're not a savior, they 're just universal balance.

Yin and Yang is not about one thing being good or the other being bad. It is all about balance. When two opposites exist together the world can be balanced.

Two bodies forming Yin Yang symbol tattoo

Deborah Genchi

Yin and Yang originated from the Chinese Philosophy of Taoism. The core principle of Taoism is that nature is perfect as it is. Instead of taking advantage and damaging it, we are genuinely supposed to be a part of it. Tao means 'The Way' but it doesn't explain what that way is.

The idea that Yang is bad is one of the biggest misconceptions. First, Yin and Yang are not moral contradictions, they are common and fundamental contradictions such as: Light and dark, Day and night, Fire and ice, Up and down, Push & Pull excetera.

E.T. is a memory for many as he brought joy and tears in the eighties. The movie really played with the imagination of a child. This category is dedicated to the timeless movie, hope you enjoy these E.T. tattoos.

E.T. tattoos

Rob Green

E.T. became the movie that brought in the most money in 1983. It exceeded Star Wars who was in first place before E.T. came along. The movie made about 619 million dollar after it came out in all the theatres.

E.T. scene with the moon tattoo

Esther Garcia Valenzuela

When E.T. was fully visible, he was mostly played by a small stuntman. However in the scenes in the kitchen a 12 year old boy who was born without legs played E.T.. The boy was an expert in walking on his hands. He didn’t have to model for this tattoo.

E.T. portrait with funny head tattoo

Merry Morgan

Two aliens are talking to each other in space. The first alien says, 'The dominant life forms on the Earth planet have developed satellite-based nuclear weapons.' The second alien asks, 'Are they an emerging intelligence'. The first alien answers 'I don't think so, they have aimed at themselves'.

Karo Dame

Did you know Harrison Ford made an appearance in a scene of E.T.? You won't be able to see him shine in the movie though, his scenes were cut.

E.T. with pug tattoo

Suflanda

The face of E.T. is said to be inspired by a combination of elements from Albert Einstein, Carl Sandburg and a pug. Not a bad combination for one tattoo.

Charlotte Lee

What is the difference between a man in a bar and E.T.?    E.T. does phone home

E.T.'s linework portrait tattoo

Did you know E.T. is over ten million years old? This is stated in the novelization of the movie. In an interview Steven Spielberg explained E.T. is a plant-like create, neither male or female. Winkt states he is cute and very suitable for a great tattoo.

E.T.'s portrait tattoo

Alessandro

Most movies are shot in an order that is most easy. The movie E.T. is shot chronological to engage the young actors in the story and make the ending (seen in this tattoo) more authentic.

E.T.'s and elliot hugging tattoo

Jessy Huh

The iconic movie scene shown in this tattoo is mostly a 'real' shot. The team spend weeks to find the right spot to film the moon like this. Elliott and E.T. however where shot as puppets that are added later with special effects.
