Not exactly a spitting image of the blonde beauty but it’s still a great piece. It looks more like a tattoo of Lady Gaga or possibly even Madonna.

Unique Marilyn Monroe Tattoo

And this is probably the closest representation of what Marilyn actually looks like right now in the grave. All zombified and what not. The artist did an awesome job on the color scheme using just the right amount of red and blue to accent the piece.

Marilyn was photographed wearing these horned-rimmed glasses a number of different times. This tattoo was obviously based on this iconic photo.

This geometric-shaped portrait

A unique twist on the usual black and white portraits we’re use to seeing. This artist created a bust of Marilyn Monroe using only shapes consisting of straight lines. The result is an an amazingly proportionate and realistic design.
