When most of us think about getting a tattoo, we think about how it will appear to other people. It’s art, after all, and that’s meant to be viewed by a partner, friends, strangers on the street…right?
Well it turns out some people get tattoos just for themselves! And if they’re looking to put a tattoo somewhere a bit different – like, say, the roof of their mouth – Belgian tattoo artist Indy Voet is the king of the “secret tattoo.”
After you check out these 17 pictures of his work, chances are you just might want one of your own.

Mine would not look so nice.

Besides being tough and cool I mean.

Everything is fine.

A new day, for new things.

For all of us.

No one would have to know except you…and your dentist.
1. I like the tat but I can’t stop staring at her nose ring.
Sorry not sorry.
I can’t say I’m rushing out to get a mouth tat, but these designs and the work are amazing!
