What are tattoo partikas and are they popular?

Partakas are considered to be ugly tattoos that spoil rather than adorn the wearer's appearance... However, in recent years, such non-standard pictures have become actively enter fashion and even developed into a separate style. Therefore, before choosing a sketch, it is worthwhile to find out in more detail what partaks in a tattoo are and whether they are popular, as well as study the instructions on how to avoid a low-quality tattoo.

Partakas, or portacas (from the word spoil), - these are low-quality, unsuccessful tattoos, in which the master made a number of mistakes and shortcomings. Most often this happens due to the lack of proper experience of the specialist or when the owner filled the tattoo for himself on his own.

How to tell a partak from a good tattoo:

• the picture has fuzzy or blurry outlines;
• the general structure and shape of the image are violated;
• the shadows are not drawn correctly or the color is chosen;
• the plot is incorrectly displayed, the tattoo does not look the same as in the sketch.

For example, if you insert the needle deeper than it should, the lines will "float", low-quality paints will give the wrong shades, and even having acquired a high-quality material, you need to be able to mix and use it correctly.

The main reasons for portacs are:

• lack of experience or low qualification of the master in the tattoo parlor;
• using homemade or non-professional tools and equipment;
• use of low-quality consumables.

Such work requires very precise execution; a master's mistake can lead to the appearance of new defects in the skin. For example, as a result of insufficient disinfection of instruments or unsanitary conditions in the room. The difference in the quality of paints will also play a significant role - in the area of ​​the scar, the skin is more susceptible to any irritants.

But there is another definition for a tattoo of partak - as a rule, a small comic drawing, as if depicted by an inept hand. However, here the violation of proportions and other "mistakes" were made on purpose - to give the tattoo originality, to make the image unique. The conceived partak differs from random spoiled pictures by the grace of lines and plot. Recently, such tattoos have begun to gain particular popularity, as a result of which new trends have emerged, which many call a kind of minimalism: handpoke and partak-style.

Partak style can be considered a modern freestyle youth tattoo style. The meaning and exact meaning of the images and the plot are in most cases known only to the owner, and the tattoo itself is sometimes even stuffed with one color with an ordinary sewing needle at home. Often such tattoos are done in specialized salons, where the master deliberately gives them a slight negligence. But even then the works are not particularly difficult - in one session you can fill in several small simple pictures, which together form a single composition, will have one plot. As a result, it comes out much cheaper than filling a large-scale or complex picture with many small details.

The stylish partak has an unusual, but at the same time not stupid appearance - just the spoiled pictures are ridiculous, they look out of place... Inscriptions in the partak-style format are always non-standard, the letters are distorted or shapeless, they have different sizes, but it is still clear that it was no coincidence that they were filled in this form. In contrast to the "screwed up" tattoos, they have a uniform level of depth of the pattern. Very often, partak-style inscriptions on the body are a variation of classical Latin sayings, often the impaled words have a hidden meaning known only to the bearer. For example, some phrase or promise may be encrypted in them.

Inconsistent primitive pictures or whole compositions are also often unclear to an outsider, their full meaning can only be explained by the owner. For him, they are a kind of notes, the purpose of which may be something like this: to remind of victories and defeats, mistakes, failures or sad experiences. Thus, a person tries do not step twice on the same rake. The owner of even beautiful partakas usually does not care what people think of his pictures, he does not seek to demonstrate tattoos or brag about them, it is, rather, something of his personal - drawing for him alone.

"Intentional" partakas are almost never made large, for example: in the form of a sleeve or on the whole back, chest, thigh. Both guys and girls choose small non-standard images, most often they are stuffed on the arms, legs, hands, collarbones, and other hidden places. On the female body, they can be seen under the breasts, at the level or between the ribs - such tattoos are often sexual in nature.

There are always several monochromatic or colored partas, and at first glance it is clear that they are made in the same design.

Partakas are very popular among both boys and girls.... This style does not have any special gender divisions - the same images can often be found in representatives of both sexes. The only difference is that guys sometimes try to give a tattoo a more brutal look, while women often choose images made in gentle colors. It is also believed that only girls with the soul of a hooligan and a slightly frivolous attitude towards life get themselves a tattoo in a partak-style.

Handpoke is a kind of partak style, considered the progenitor of all directions and formats of tattooing. Initially, it was done only with homemade devices, and although today the style is very popular and is professionally stamped in many tattoo parlors, the true handpoke is applied only in an artisanal ("craft") method. To do this, use special sewing needles or guitar strings and homemade ink, which help the master to return to the origins of art.

Sketches in this format do not contain complex patterns and graceful lines, everything is as simple and restrained as possible. To perform such work, high artistic skills are not required, therefore the style was especially widespread among novice masters, who thus practiced their skills on each other.

Another important feature of the handpoke trend is the humorous and vulgar plot of tattoos. This contains the whole essence of the youth party-style. They try to deliberately give the images curves and lines so that they cause a smile, but at the same time carry a deep sense of life. Such wearable compositions often resemble children's scribbles, even though they use, albeit primitive, but rather philosophical comparisons and allegories.

It is very difficult to guarantee the success of tattooing in advance, especially if you have to contact a specific artist for the first time or get the first tattoo in your life. But there are a number of simple rules that will help you choose the right specialist and not spoil your appearance.

1. First, you should choose the master correctly: see his portfolio, find out work experience. When asking questions, do not be shy, because the tattoo is applied for life. It is very difficult to fix the partak in most cases, so you need to make sure that the master is highly qualified. For example, an experienced tattoo artist always has 2-3 machines at his disposal.
2. You should carefully think over the sketch of the future image and first translate it on paper... This will also be the first test for the master - how developed his artistic talent is.
3. Inspect the room and conditions where the tattoo will be stuffed... Today, many, including experienced and qualified craftsmen, accept clients not in the salon, but at home. In general, there is nothing wrong with this if the conditions meet sanitary standards.
4. The workplace should be prepared for each client individually: treated with antiseptics, covered with plastic wrap. Holders for needles before work should be rinsed under running water and disinfected, and ideally they also need to be kept for an hour in a dry heat cabinet at a temperature of 200 degrees. The tips and the needles themselves are disposable items.

To create partak-style tattoo sketches, as a rule, light subjects or simple life ideas are used. Often, the owner does not think at all about the meaning of the image, but simply adjusts to the fashion or refers to the lovers of abstractions.

The most common images of images from the direction of party-style for girls:

• a foot in a shoe, sneaker or sneaker;
• hand with painted fingers;
• Pieces of fruit such as avocado wedges
• heart;
• crystal;
• human eye;
• frog;
• scull;
• various geometric shapes.

Options for male partak-style tattoo ideas:

• Cactus;
• banana;
• ship anchor;
• roller skates or skateboard;
• axe;
• gravestone;
• human mouth: lips and tongue;
• symbolism of ancient Egypt;
• snake, frog;
• key or padlock;
• warrior, error, kill labels.

Quite creative and neutral drawing that will suit both men and women equally well. The plot can be interpreted as a memory of some happy moment in life, for example, a resort romance, which left a serious imprint on the soul or had consequences.

More of a female tattoo, although in a rougher version it is also suitable for guys. The tattoo resembles an unfinished painting, as if in comparison with the life of the owner. Such options are great for people of creative professions, creative personalities.

A positive and unobtrusive sketch, reflects the good nature and cheerful character of the owner. The tattoo is successful in that it will look appropriate on almost any part of the body.
