New Tattoo Trends for Lovers of All Things Inked

A tattoo has long been more than just ink in the skin; it’s an expression of who you are, what you love, and who you want to be. And now that art has become more mainstream than ever before, there are more and more ways to express yourself through body art. These new tattoo trends will inspire you to pick up your needle and make sure that your next tattoo reflects who you are right now!

Tattoo
The tattoo is a way of adding paint to our bodies by printing with ink some drawing, design, or figure directly on the skin, using tiny and fine needles that skim the top layer of our skin. Inject the paint and leave a permanent mark. It is also known as ‘body art’.

Body art has been around since Ancient Egypt but it wasn’t until the 1970s when tattoos became popular in mainstream society. Tattoos are often seen as an expression of personality or rank within a group (gang). That’s not so much anymore. Modern day tattoos are more likely to be an expression of one’s personality than anything else – you’re free to choose any style you want!

Back to nature
One popular tattoo trend that has been trending for a few years now is back-to-nature designs. These designs are usually minimalist in nature and feature elements like trees, animals, and flowers. They can be small and delicate or large and detailed—it all depends on your personal preference. If you’re looking for a tattoo that celebrates your love of nature, then this is the perfect trend for you.

The most common subject matter in these tattoos is plants and animals from earth. We’ve seen some awesome tribal, geometric patterns as well. And don’t forget about adorable creatures from the deep! Here’s one we found of an octopus hugging its friend who’s wearing a turtle shell as their helmet . There’s also an owl with bright yellow eyes that’ll make you want to follow it home.

You can even get a tattoo featuring just dots if you’re really into minimalist design. If you’re looking for something subtle, there are so many different ways to incorporate dots into your design without overdoing it.

Colorful animals
As tattoo lovers know, animal tattoos are some of the most popular designs out there. And this year, it seems like colorful animal tattoos are trending. From lions and tigers to snakes and birds, these designs are vibrant and eye-catching. Plus, they can be customized to fit your style. So if you’re looking for a new tattoo, consider going with a colorful animal design. With so many choices available, you’ll have no problem finding something that fits your personality.

Some animals may even reflect your favorite hobbies or interests. If you love reptiles, then get an iguana or snake tattoo! If turtles are more your thing, then try a turtle or tortoise tattoo! If tropical plants intrigue you more than wild animals, try a parrot or flamingo tat on for size! Plant tattoos come in all shapes and sizes, from small leaves to large trees. No matter what your taste is, you’re sure to find a plant tattoo that fits what you want.

Floral patterns
Flower tattoos are having a moment right now. They’re popular because they can be both delicate and bold, and they have a lot of different meanings. Plus, there are endless possibilities when it comes to flower tattoo designs.

If you’re thinking about getting a floral tattoo, here are some of the most popular designs
Floral chest piece- this tattoo is usually seen on women’s chests and often resembles a tree or vine with flowers at the end. It’s typically larger than other tattoos but is often symmetrical to look more natural.
Flower sleeves- these tattoos cover one or both arms in colorful flowers that branch out from a central point. The branches resemble sleeves of flowers and can either be drawn from start to finish or just one half of the arm in order to create an asymmetrical design that isn’t quite as full as traditional sleeves but still creates an impactful statement.
Dahlia- another big trend right now is dahlias. These flowers were originally used in religious art to represent life after death and as such, they symbolize rebirth and new beginnings. Dahlias come in many different colors like reds, oranges, yellows, whites, and purples which allow them to work with any skin tone.
Some artists might incorporate dahlia petals into their pieces so that the edges will appear more realistic while others will use them solely for their meaning which means that you’ll need to find an artist who has experience working with these types of flowers if you want your tattoo to be meaningful as well.

Watercolor tattoos
A new tattoo trend that has been growing in popularity is the watercolor tattoo. This type of tattoo is perfect for those who want something colorful and unique. The best part about watercolor tattoos is that they can be customized to fit your personality. If you’re looking for a tattoo that is truly one-of-a-kind, then a watercolor tattoo is definitely for you!

They are typically less bold than other types of tattoos but allow the colors to show through with a nice watery effect. These are also great for people who are not completely sure what design they want on their body because there is so much customization available.

Abstract designs
This year, we’re seeing a rise in popularity for abstract tattoo designs. More and more people are getting tattoos that are less abature presenting something specific, and more about art. If you’re thinking about getting a tattoo, why not go for something unique and modern? You’ll be glad you did!

Abstract tattoos can be some of the most visually-appealing options out there. What do you think? Should I get an abstract tattoo?
It’s a pretty big decision to make, especially if it’s going to be on your body forever. But with all the different designs available these days, it can be hard to know which is best for you. A lot of people worry about what other people will think or say. But don’t let others stop you from living your life how you want – even if they don’t understand or agree with what you’re doing.

That said, it’s important to pick a design that means something special to you – even if no one else knows what it means.
