Tattoo in the style of minimalism

Minimalism as a style quickly entered the trends of recent years and does not reduce its position. Beautiful sophisticated sketches attract the attention of both regulars of tattoo parlors and those who fill a drawing for the first time. Minimalist designs are most often chosen by girls as an additional "highlight" that will complete their feminine look.

Minimalistic tattoos are a minimum of details and laconic sketches, while maintaining the form and main design intent. Their main difference is that they look very simple, include few elements, but at the same time the finished work has a stylish and sophisticated look.

Most often, minimalist sketches are chosen by women and beginners who have not had tattoos before. This is due to the fact that a simple sketch looks out of scale and does not attract increased attention of others, but at the same time elegantly complements the image. Women's options for such tattoos are especially diverse and include a large number of sketches for every taste.

The main features of minimalism in tattoo are listed below.

• Refined simplicity. While minimalist designs look simple, their subsequent typing technique requires the skilled hand of a craftsman to achieve flawlessly clean lines and crisp contours.
• Filling speed... A professional artist usually spends on such a tattoo from 40 minutes to several hours, depending on the size of the sketch. This is especially attractive for those with a high sensitivity threshold and who do not want to expose themselves to a three-hour session on a complex sketch.
• Monochrome... Most often, the tattoo is done in one color without its subsequent coloring or too pronounced shadows. Less commonly - in two colors. Sketches with a neat classic black outline are especially relevant.
• Versatility... Minimalistic tattoos do not require a rigid study of their image from their owner due to their versatility. These designs are discreet and fit perfectly into any style. This is a great practical option for those who want to have a tattoo, but do not want to fall under the rigid stereotypes of others and social selection criteria, for example, when applying for a job.
• Big choice. Modern tattoo artists offer their clients a wide variety of options that meet modern trends. In addition, such sketches do not require development together with the master, since they are quite simple to execute and do not need additional drawing. So, men more often choose geometric shapes, and for girls, drawings with flora and fauna are relevant.

Tattoo artists offer a wide range of minimalist tattoos. The following topics are the most popular among clients.

People have long believed in the great power of symbols that they stuffed on their bodies. Especially such drawings were revered among the inhabitants of the Celtic and Aztec tribes. Tattoos with a mystical meaning are the most relevant among those who wants to attract good luck, prosperity, good health and love into their lives.

Before choosing the best option for yourself, you need to familiarize yourself in advance with the true meanings of tattoos, which can influence fate and give the blessings of the Universe. In this case, you should not completely rely on the knowledge of tattoo artists, whose salons initially have a wide profile. It is best to consult in advance with a specialist who is good at this topic.

As a simple sketch, people can choose a standard clover leaf, which should lure luck into the fate of its owner. Also popular are images of runes on the body - letters of the magic alphabet, each of which means something.

The following mystical symbols are also often stuffed:

• caduceus;
• scull;
• ouroboros;
• eyes;
• Blooming tree;
• compass;
• triangle, etc.

A simple image of a complex one is one way of a minimalist style to put a lot of meaning into a small image.... This is often used by tattoo artists to reflect religious meanings on the body of a believer, whose religion does not prohibit him from getting tattoos.

The most common in this case are pictures of the cross in different forms depending on religion, for example: Christian or Egyptian. Also, craftsmen often receive orders for the image of certain religious attributes, for example: the wreath of Jesus, the bow and arrows of Cupid, as well as symbols of the gods of Greek mythology, etc.

Stuffing geometric shapes in this style is very popular. It can be a simple outline image of a heart, a star, or, conversely, several shapes that will skillfully fold into a beautiful composition.This is how a landscape or a favorite musical instrument is often depicted: a guitar, a violin, etc.

Geometric vector shapes are a great way to highlight the personality of the tattoo wearer. These are not just linear clear contours - together they create an overall coherent composition. So, non-static images depicted in this technique are especially popular: waves, animals, people, fire, flora or birds.

Minimalistic flower images are especially popular with girls. Flora is perfectly able to emphasize the purity, fragility and femininity of its wearer. Especially top sketches are small twigs of plants, made in black and white, for example: lilac or lavender.

Usually, drawings in this topic are very light in meaning and include simple, sometimes exaggerated images of real plants. The image of peonies or roses, as well as small bouquets, is especially popular.

Often, the owner of a pet depicts on his body a mini-drawing of his beloved pet, which in this way will always and everywhere accompany him. Artists of tattoo parlors very often offer their clients to develop a quick small sketch of a cat, dog or parrot from a photograph of their pet. The simple, minimalistic foot of the animal is no exception.

Also, images of representatives of the wild nature can act as a tattoo. Recently, drawings of a shark or a rat are especially relevant. And as cute animals, fish, flamingos, a frog or a hedgehog are often chosen now.

Lettering occupies a special niche in minimalism. Such tattoos look as laconic as possible - the main difficulty lies only in the correct selection of the font. As the inscription itself, a phrase in a native or foreign language can be used: a creed, lines from a favorite song, an excerpt from a work, or a statement of a famous person.

The date of birth or any significant event in the client's life can be used as numerology. Often, young people stuff the mystical number "13" on their bodies to emphasize their adventurism and inclination to take risks and adventures.

The image of eastern hieroglyphs is especially popular, since each of them carries a separate meaning, and they do not take up much space.

It is easy to depict a minimalistic sketch of a tattoo on almost any part of the body, depending on the wishes of the client. Especially often with the help of them, girls emphasize the beauty of their collarbones, neck and waist or beat beautiful geometric images under the breasts.

It is also popular to have minimalistic tattoos:

• on hand (forearm, hand, wrist, fingers);
• on leg (on the thigh, lower leg);
• on belly (on the side or ribs).

Less often, minimalistic sketches are transferred to the back, because due to the large plane, a small drawing can get lost and not produce the desired effect. It is also rare for clients to ask to get a tattoo on their face, since this bold act could in fact deprive many of the social privileges in the future.

The most popular beautiful small linear sketch is a floral theme. A small bouquet, a beautiful bud or neat twigs look very organic and natural on the body.

Small geometric images of landscapes or travel themes with drawings of the Earth or an airplane also look interesting.

Drawings using geometric shapes and vectors will look especially interesting.
