5 Tattoo Ideas You Can Choose From
1. Minimal
Minimalistic Tattoos have always been trendy. Be it a shape, symbol, dot, or letter, minimalistic tattoos have a deep meaning, they convey a lot more than what meets the eye. Minimalist tattoos help first-timers get a tattoo. The lovers of simplicity, delicacy, and minimalism opt for such types of tattoos.
2. Text
Words, phrases, sayings, and lines are very popular when it comes to getting inked. Most of the time people choose a foreign language phrase or word. David Beckham got ‘Victoria' tattooed on his arm in Devanagari. These tattoos are pretty self-explanatory thus making them a great way of expressing something that means a lot to you. That can be a name, a lyric, or even a line that changed your life. If you do get that tattoo written in a foreign language or script, make sure you get the phrase and spelling confirmed by a local. Do not rely on search engines alone.
3. Watercolor
These types of tattoos are a trend abroad and are slowly making their way in India. Colored tattoos look beyond gorgeous. They are like mini paintings that you get to carry with you! There are tattoo artists in India that do not encourage getting a colored tattoo as the Indian skin doesn't suit the colored ink. However, this scenario might soon be changing. With the spread of the tattoo culture in the country, the equipment and resources are getting updated. Discuss in detail with your tattoo artist about the ink used and its longevity before going ahead with getting these.
4. Realistic
These tattoos depend almost entirely on the skill and craft of the tattoo artist. Realistic tattoos might require multiple sessions with the artist. They can be of animals, sceneries, objects, or even some abstract mystical drawings. Make sure you go to a credible tattoo parlor to get these done. If you want a custom design made, be present in the designing phase of the tattoos.
5. Geometric/Tribal
For all lovers of symmetry, lines, etc, this is the perfect kind of tattoo. Many of the geometric designs created are inspired by tribal symbols and culture. These tattoos mostly constitute organized and precise lines, measured shapes, and a balanced composition.
