Tattoo in the style of realism

One of the most popular and sought-after tattoo styles has been realism for many decades. Bright and elaborate tattoos are popular among both men and women.

Realism tattoos appeared at the end of the 19th century. It was at this time that modern equipment for tattooing began to be produced. The first to apply realist tattoos to the body were sailors and soldiers.

Over time, realistic tattoos only gained popularity. There are many advantages to this style now.

• Wide range of colors... Realism tattoos can be either black and white or colored. Many craftsmen combine monochrome details with brighter ones.
• Variety of plots. Now on the body you can capture not only images of animals and plants, but also some pictures or thoughtful subjects. This style is perfect for creating a variety of memorable tattoos.
• Uniqueness... Realistic tattoos immediately attract attention. This stylistic direction is perfect for creating original and thought out to the smallest detail works.

It should be remembered that such tattoos are difficult to implement. Therefore, they are usually created by experienced tattooists who know how to draw well.

Having decided to get a tattoo in this style, it is also important to remember that the process of creating such works takes a long time.

There are many interesting sketches that can inspire a person to create a thoughtful, realistic tattoo.

The most popular are now considered animalistic tattoos. When choosing a suitable pattern, there are several options worth paying attention to. They are great for both girls and guys.
