All about the tattoo on the shoulder blades
The decision to apply a tattoo on the body inevitably entails the question of where exactly to fill the sketch. Actually, you can tattoo absolutely all parts of the body, but the aesthetic side requires decency. This is all the more important if there is a desire to show the beauty of the drawing. The area of the shoulder blade is one of the most successful areas for a tattoo.
Peculiarities
If we talk about the zone of the scapula, then it can be recognized as one of the most popular among women and men. This popularity is easily explained by several factors.
- Comfort for a tattoo artist who is happy to fill a drawing in this place, because there is a smooth surface, dense skin. In the process of work, the specialist does not have any problems with depressions, depressions, bends. The spatula is practically a "flat canvas" for the master's needle, this is a guarantee that he will apply the drawing exactly as it should look according to the sketch. The place is ideal not only for tattooing, but also for covering up unsuccessful works.
- Attractiveness. We must pay tribute to the tattoo on the shoulder blade - it looks quite bold and effective, creates the aura of a rebellious personality, prone to experiments and capable of making non-standard decisions. The style and appearance of the drawing is of great importance. Women are characterized by butterflies and birds such as hummingbirds, flowers and patterns. For men - more brutal sketches: a portrait image of the face of a warrior, a mythological representative, mighty and wise birds (a raven or an eagle), a grinning face of a panther, a wolf, etc.
- The absence of pain means a lot to the customer, and the scapula is the least sensitive to injections. The presence of subcutaneous fat separates the skin from the bone, serving as a kind of buffer and softening the "kickback" from the blows of the set of needles.The client, who does not feel pain, is calm, does not unconsciously try to "get away" from the machine, creating inconveniences for the master. At such moments, there is a high probability of an error in the creation of a picture, and after all then it will be considered the fault of the master.
- The shoulder blade is a part of the back, which makes it possible to increase the area of the sketch, create a dimensional drawing. It can be lengthened, transferred to the shoulder and forearm, or pulled down over the back and ribs. The sketch can be expanded by using the entire back to create an "epic canvas". The scope for applying a unique and original tattoo is endless. More precisely, it is limited only by abilities and imagination, as well as finances - the larger and more complex the drawing, the more expensive it is.
A tattoo on the shoulder blade is convenient in all respects - the owner will not get bored with the image over time, because he does not see it. But the attention of the audience is guaranteed forever. Such decorative features of the body are eye-catching.
This means that when choosing a sketch and a master, you have to be very demanding and picky. This "mark" is forever, so let it be of high quality and worthy, arousing respect, not ridicule.
Thumbnail overview
Body tattoo - a strong energy symbol, multiplied by the bodily bioenergetic center located between the shoulder blades. Experts say that it regulates the essence of a person (EGO), helps to maintain a balance between desires and conscience, needs and dignity. Taking these features into account, a tattoo on a shoulder blade means not only a decorative decoration, but even a healing one - it helps to find peace and tranquility in a restless soul, to balance the emotional background.
The best helpers in this will be sacred, ornamental sketches and inscriptions. Images can be small graceful and beautiful miniatures, simple, small and delicate color drawings and patterns for a girl - a flower, a star, a moon, a black cat, a beautiful gerbera, etc. Sometimes the most original sketches can be made without a theme and meaning, for example, for men: a skull, a grin of a wild beast, a cross, a mysterious forest, etc. A guard symbol is often applied to the shoulder blade, because it is not so easy to see it.
For women
Feminine nature is associated with the image of airiness, grace, mystery. Of course, in the modern world it is ridiculous to expect only these qualities from girls and women. We must be honest, these features are almost lost, and it is extremely difficult to meet them today. Girls have long since become confident, powerful and independent, capable of serving in the army on an equal basis with men and entering the ring. However, the symbolism of sexuality has remained the same and is popular - hummingbird, moths, butterflies, firebirds, etc.
Lizard and cat will emphasize the grace of their owner, but the mystery of the soul will be indicated by a carnival mask. The cheerful character is prone to choice bears, bunnies, hearts and other funny characters and symbols. About flowers it is possible not to say - this is an obligatory part of the female soul. Lotus considered a symbol of wisdom, lily - purity and freshness, the rose is suitable for ardent and passionate natures.
Amulets can be in the form of sacramental sketches or inscriptions.
For men
The male version of the tattoos on the shoulder blade has all the same advantages as for women, differs in more masculine and aggressive symbolism. Sketches for a strong half of humanity can also be conditionally divided into two groups:
- decorative;
- semantic, sacramental.
The advantages of placing a tattoo on the shoulder blade for men are the same as for women:
- painlessness and ease of implementation;
- semantic and artistic universality;
- small age-related texture changes in the skin;
- inaccessibility for their own review, which does not allow the owner to get bored with the picture.
Almost always in men scapula - just a fragment in the general sketch, it can serve as the central or peripheral point of the drawing.From the shoulder blade, plot development can proceed, for example, a raven's head and an open wing extending along shoulder and sleeve... Or the central point of the plot will be the place between the shoulder blades.
There are many options, but images only on the shoulder blade are mostly a woman's prerogative.
Styles
There are many styles for tattoos, and almost all of them are universal, that is, suitable for use in any area. With the exception of sacred symbols in intimate places, since this is not just blasphemy, but also a sign of a complete lack of taste and dignity. Therefore, any existing styles can be used in the area of the scapula.
Watercolor
This style is distinguished by originality and extraordinary attractiveness, because real watercolor paintings are infinitely charming in their indistinctness, blur, as if covered with a veil of light fog. TIn person, a talentedly executed tattoo looks the same, so you have to be very picky in choosing a master for a watercolor sketch. Watercolor tattoos are mainly chosen by girls, since these are delicate and weightless drawings that are not very suitable for the brutal essence of a man.
Zodiac
The signs of the zodiac have an extraordinary appeal for humanity, even if someone considers himself above all sorts of "superstitions". Zodiac symbols can serve as a decorative adornment or are full of sacred meaning, a talisman for the wearer and a vivid designation of his individuality. The sign can become a guide, a powerful provocateur of certain life positions of the owner.
Insects
An equally popular topic preferred by both halves of humanity. Butterflies - this is the belonging of girls, but they are also found in men. Most often these are moths, as they look less frivolous. Sometimes such a sketch harmoniously combines an insect and a drawing of another type, for example, a skull in the center of a butterfly, if this tattoo is on a male body. The selection of insects is large: scorpions and moths, scarab and dragonfly, butterflies and spiders ...
Tattoo with text
Letter images can have a deep meaning or the name of the owner, loved one, express emotions, life positions, be a motto or appeal. There are many fonts for this style of tattoo. The main language is English, since it is considered world-wide, but you can use any language, even cryptography.
Animals
The choice is equal to the number of creatures on earth, but, of course, a more limited number is popular.... Cats of all kinds, wolves and dogs, foxes and raccoons - that's what anyone likes. But that's not all, because there are fantasy worlds where dragons and griffins, mermaids and naiads, harpies and gorgons live ...
Religious
Religious tattoos are more typical for believers, although not always, for example, an angel can be found on the body of an atheist... Such tattoos show their beliefs, belonging to a religious movement. Most popular sketches: Virgin Mary and angels, cross, etc.
Flowers
The floral style is feminine in body art, although floral motifs can sometimes be found on a man's body. These are rather decorative sketches than semantic sketches, but if there is a desire to consider a flower on the body filled with meaning, it is enough to see what each means. Popular are roses and orchids, poppies and peonies, irises and lotuses ...
3d tattoo
Such sketches are performed in three-dimensional format, with an emphasis on creating a realistic image. As a rule, these are portraits, fauna and floristry, historical and mythical subjects ...
Minimalism
This style is characterized by laconicism and monochrome in the palette. It is considered the most ancient style.
Accommodation options
The position of the sketch on the paddle is determined by choosing one of several popular locations. Back - a large area for drawing a sketch, and the scapula can play a critical role, be mono-canvas or part of it.Sketches are applied under the shoulder blade, which girls really like for placing flower arrangements. A large sketch is applied on both shoulder blades, placing its center in the middle or focusing on asymmetry.
Another popular zone is scapula with a transition to the neck. Such an arrangement is especially in demand among men, but girls also do not disregard this option. The drawing on the shoulder blade and back is a large area for the tattoo artist's needle, allowing him to pay tribute to his own skill without much difficulty.
A sketch on the shoulder blade with a transition to the shoulder and ending on the right or left hand is ideal for Polynesian motifs, as well as for the “biomechanical” style - it becomes possible to show the “articulations of the biorobot”.
