Get to know the tattoo style

The first thing to do is to determine the tattoo style. It is suggested that the same parts have the same style, for example, the whole hand is dark.

Understanding different tattoo styles can help you find more pictures of the same type for reference, and also help you find a tattoo artist who is good at corresponding styles. With the convenience of cultural exchange now, various styles actually blend, so the following is just a list.

Several classic tattoo styles:

It is the so-called school style, including old school and new school.

the graphics of old school do not pursue stereoscopic perspective, with thick black lines and high color contrast.

new school is rhythmic, pays attention to three-dimensional light and shadow, and has a thick outline, rich colors and natural gradient.

Including the old tradition and the new tradition, the main body is dragons, carp, Japanese samurai, etc., and the background is set off by fog.

The old Japanese tradition followed the style of Ukiyo-e painting, but it didn't pay attention to structure, with large color blocks and thick lines, and blank spaces in highlights.

Japanese new tradition is rich in color, more stereoscopic, more delicate and realistic.

However, many illustrations with Japanese elements are not old and new traditions, but Japanese tattoos at best.

Sometimes, China tradition and Japanese tradition are easily confused, with almost similar auspicious clouds background, except that the characters and beasts are all from China. The metaphysical meaning of traditional beasts or some patterns is endowed by human beings. Whether the tattoo will change anything is a personal psychological suggestion. At present, some Chinese styles pay more attention to the smudge of ink and wash than Japanese traditions, and they follow the style of Chinese painting, which is also called ink and wash style.

Calligraphy is also a Chinese style tattoo, the most representative of which is Beckham's side waist calligraphy tattoo.

is the oldest tattoo style and the embodiment of tribal culture. Combining geometry and pictographic patterns, Neptune tattoo belongs to totem tattoo.

Nowadays, the combination of pricking technique and geometry is also a popular style, and it is also a tattoo artist's style to be blind.

Black-gray sketch and realism only use black pigment to complete the light and shadow form of the whole picture. Black-gray is not necessarily realism, but realism must be sketch or color sketch.

Portraits of people and animals are realistic, which requires the highest skills of tattoo artists.

Mexican-American cultural derivatives are not only unique styles of cursive and gothic characters, but also some subjects with black and gray techniques.

There are graffiti, 3D, watercolor, cartoon, geometry, abstraction, etc. These styles are all just as their names suggest, and there are also places where they intersect with the aforementioned styles.

so there are many other styles to choose from besides small freshness.

What are the popular styles for girls now?

The most popular styles for girls are all small mini-pictures, but really don't make the lines too small. Over time, the colors will fade or the thin lines will faint.
