As caricature artists are to portrait artists, so too are tattoo caricatures to… well, every other kind of tattoo. Caricatures require their own special kind of skill, quite different from the skill to create photorealistic tattoos. Colors are usually used in loud, flash patterns, and features of an otherwise recognizable piece are exaggerated for a comical effect. It's a safe bet that people who choose to ink themselves with a caricature piece have a good sense of humor.
