The popularity of tattoos has increased dramatically over the past ten to twenty years. Once associated with fringe movements and subcultures, body art has now become quite popular. As more and more people get tattoos, the field is expanding and thriving. The field attracts talented artists who are introducing new designs and reviving old ones. As with any other art form or fashion, certain trends come and go in the tattoo art field. If you're thinking about getting a tattoo, it's good to know some of the latest trends.
Small tattoos.
Some people like big, highly visible tattoos. However, there is an opposite tendency to choose very small designs. Smaller or micro tattoos are more subtle and can generate interest as observers need to look closely. Choosing smaller is also a good choice for people who are getting their first tattoo and want to start slowly.
When it comes to microtattoos, your choices are limitless. You can draw letters, animals, geometric patterns, tribal patterns, or any other small patterns on various parts of your body. If you are considering a very small tattoo, keep in mind that you should choose a tattoo artist who has experience with this type of tattoo. It takes great skill and attention to detail to effectively render a very small design.
Tattoos on the face and neck
Although tattoos are becoming more and more popular, neck and facial tattoos are still considered quite extreme, but to a much lesser extent than they were a few years ago. Justin Bieber is one of the celebrities who recently got a tattoo on his face, though a very small one (the word "Grace" appeared above his right eyebrow). Like Bieber, many people get subtle and even graceful facial tattoos consisting of words, flowers, stars or patterns.
Neck tattoos are slightly more common and less controversial than facial tattoos, although it depends on the size, subject matter, and style of design. If you are planning a career as an investment banker or corporate manager, you may want to rethink your neck or face tattoo. However, these and other previously controversial tattoos are becoming increasingly popular and may be adopted everywhere in a few years.
If you like the idea of a tattoo somewhere near your face, but to keep it from being immediately noticeable, there are a few related tattoo trends to consider. Tattoos behind the ears, which can be on or near the ear itself, can be used for small drawings or words and phrases. Another option is tattoos on the back of the neck, which are less obtrusive than drawings on the front of the neck.
Topical ideas for tattoos 2021
The popularity of body art is growing every day and this issue is relevant not only for the young and young. Recently, interest in tattoo art is actively manifested among people of a more conscious age. And agree, modern variations of the sketches are so diverse and spectacular, that sometimes it is simply impossible to resist such a temptation - to fill up the body one of the tattoo masterpieces. This is a great opportunity to complement your image or completely change your style, to demonstrate your individuality or on the contrary, to perpetuate any memories. Also not infrequently tattoos quite successfully disguise such flaws on the skin as scars or scars.
The owners of body art can be found absolutely everywhere, from offices and educational institutions, ending with beauty salons and fitness clubs. But, despite all this, we advise you not to make hasty decisions and to think carefully about your choice, so that in consequence you won't regret what you've done.
Among the vast number of styles and themes of tattoos, to select any particular type of designs for 2021 is very difficult, because, as you know, to taste and color no comrades. Some like neat images that resemble a pencil outline drawing, while others are attracted by large-scale and bright subjects showing images of animals and elements of vegetation, original patterns, inscriptions, and so on. In this case the differences between male and female tattoos are manifested in the nature of technology, image size, color scheme or related details. In general, everything depends on your preference and the desired result.
Tattoos in a minimalist style
The minimalist trend echoes the microtattoo, but includes larger tattoos with a very simple design. Many people, for example, get tattoos in the form of lines. For example, dashed drawings of a face, animal or object leave the observer's imagination to fill in any details. If you want to take the minimalist idea even further, you can get a simple line or set of lines. Variations of linear tattoos include straight lines, parallel lines, barbed wire patterns and simple geometric shapes.
Choosing a style
In the variety of styles, especially colored ones, it's not hard to get lost. The following styles are in good demand: watercolor, new skool and realism. On the Internet you can find quite a few photos and visually see what they look like. Next, let's consider popular styles for colored tattoos.
Old-school .
It is characterized by thick lines in the drawing and the use of a small number of shades. Usually it is red, blue, green, yellow and black for outlines. The sketches do not respect the actual shape of the object. Everything is very schematic.
Skulls, girls, roses, daggers, hearts, panthers, stars, dice are depicted. Nowadays their symbolism is not given as much importance as it used to be.
Neo traditional.
Unlike the old-school in this style, the color palette is more extensive. And the images are closer to realistic.
Often stuffed girls, owls, foxes, representatives of the feline family.
New Style
A modern style, characterized by very bright pigments, which can shimmer between each other. The sketch may contain blurred borders.
The subject matter is varied. Caricature and unusual presentation are welcome.
Realism
Refers to one of the most frequently used. Subjects portraits of loved ones or celebrities, animals.
Separately we should say about 3D drawings with different insects. In them the highlights and shadows are created by different shades of white, black and gray. And the beautiful work is indistinguishable from the real insect.
Watercolor
Tattoos are completely identical in appearance to watercolors from traditional painting. The style requires a special skill, as not every master is able to convey airiness and transparency on the human skin.
As subjects often choose images of animals, flowers, mythical creatures, abstraction.
Abstraction
A young style in which a variety of geometric shapes, bizarre lines, chaotic strokes and colored spots play a key role. Each tattoo has its own philosophy, but they do not carry a certain meaning.
Biomechanics
The style is in high demand among men. It looks as if you can see the mechanisms through the torn skin. Black, gray shades are used to depict them, with the addition of a couple of complementary colors. It is placed on the arm or leg.
To become the owner of a cool tattoo, it is not necessary to adhere to any particular style. A small colored tattoo will also help stand out from the crowd and give its owner uniqueness.
Colored tattoos are more difficult to perform than monochrome ones and will require more frequent color updates afterwards. The sketch must be in good harmony with the shade of the skin and hair, so as not to create a ridiculous impression. It is necessary to carefully choose a master who will help to implement the idea and can correctly combine colors.
The meanings of some popular images in the tattoo
Although some sketches can be stuffed under the influence of modern trends, objects and symbols in fashionable tattoos have their own unique interpretation:
- The cross speaks of devotion to religion, and earlier wars used it as a talisman, stuffing the sketch before going into battle.
- Yin-yang represents the unity of opposites, making such a tattoo, a person declares that he will always find a way out.
- Tattoo in the form of a bracelet can serve as an amulet, a talisman. Pair jewelry is a symbol of loyalty and love.
- The skull is a reminder of an important person, a symbol of new beginnings, eternal spiritual life.
- Stars represent ambition, wisdom, shifting priorities and goals.

Tattoo ideas for guys
A fashionable tattoo is what you need to demonstrate the qualities of your personality: it can be a strong animal, a weapon, a comic book character, etc. Usually the color scheme of men's drawings is quite strict, even if they are colored: a muted palette looks very harmonious. Although real boy's tattoos can also be bright, if the soul requires it. Below we will consider the most top tattoos for guys.
Small tattoos
Rarely do people dare to "score" an entire arm at once or to do a tattoo of the entire back. Usually the fascination with tattoos begins with a small picture on the shoulder or neck. It can be a 3D drawing, a realistic image, or a graphic. For this option, quite a lot of sketches are suitable, but it is necessary to take into account that the tattoo is unlikely to attract much attention.
As a rule, small tattoos are some kind of symbolic inscription, an important date or the name of a beloved girl. Such drawings are preferable for teenagers, because if they want they can remove them easily enough and without consequences. Grown-up people who know what they want, usually get themselves images of a larger size.
Funny tattoos
Creative and unusual tattoos are most often done in prominent places, such as on the forearm or on the shoulder. They are also printed on the chest or back. Youth tattoos on the arm with funny inscriptions and pictures help a young person to show that he looks at life with humor.
Also funny pictures attract a lot of attention of the opposite sex. For teenagers, this is a great way to find like-minded people and people with the same hobbies. You can, for example, score yourself a drawing from your favorite anime or comic book that only a select few will understand.
The choice of style for a cool tattoo is very important. As a rule, it is a colorful drawing, bright and edgy, which shows that the young person enjoys opening his personality to the world. Tattoos can show those around him that such a guy is very funny and interesting: he is not afraid to stuff himself with a creative picture.
Fashionable tattoos for guys
As a rule, tattoos are stuffed in order to express their individuality and emphasize brutality, but this does not mean that in the world of body art there are no fashionable trends. For example, a skull printed on the shoulder is always on trend with informal movements. His sketch can be made in classic style, old-school or sketch, depending on what is fashionable in a particular season.
Tattoos for guys always look masculine and harmonious, but fashion can dictate, among other things, the place of their placement. Today, young people prefer tattoos on their feet, but in a year or two in the salons will be reaching for those who want to stuff something brutal on his back.
Modern images on the body also reflect those trends that are relevant among young people of a certain age or in a particular time. The universal passion for steampunk, for example, is reflected not only in the style of dress, but also in what guys come to tattoo parlors.
If a guy wants something large-scale, it's usually on his back. In this area any fashion trends will unfold "at full strength", because the most beautiful tattoos and popular inscriptions can find "their place" there.
Fashionable variant is not a blind following of trends, but the sketch, which is suitable for the image of a particular guy. It is this kind of picture that is considered ideal by masters and their clients.
