Tattoos are
like any form of art: styles go through changes and trends depending on the
popular artists and growing exposure of tattooing as an art. Here at Body Shock
we follow all these new trends eagerly, new styles bring new challenges to
tattoo artists and we love to help you out in these endeavours.
Cubism
A style made
famous by Pablo Picasso during the early 20th century, Cubism is one
of the most influential visual styles of the century and it has become an
in-demand tattoo style. Tattoo artists such as Sasha Unisex
have made this style their own, modifying it for application on skin. It uses
block colours to shape portraits of animals and flowers. Unisex’s tattoos have
gained popularity due to their feminine appearance and there is no doubt that
this will be a growing trend in 2016.
Geometric
A growing
shared asset on social media comes in the form of the geometric tattoo. This
style allows for you as an artist to create a 100% unique and interesting
design each and every time; no two geometric tattoos will ever be exactly the
same. This style can also be used in smaller tattoos, in flower pieces for
example, or in much larger full-body pieces that turn the body into a whole
geometric pattern.
Minimalist
This is a
tattoo design that is taking over the world, with artists such as Dr
Woo perfecting the
art of small and minimal tattoos that are understated but make a big statement
all the same. This is a trend that has reached a whole demographic of people
that have never stepped foot into a tattoo parlour due to the increase in
celebrities taking this style for their own tattoos. It’s a trend that will no
doubt sky rocket this year in your parlours.
Single Line
Another
growing tattoo trend that relies on a minimalist approach is the single line
tattoo. This is a style that requires expert execution, as a single mistake can
ruin the piece, and can be used in a number of patterns such as animals,
flowers, skulls and so much more. It is a style that artist Mo
Ganji has perfected
and we expect it to be a growing tattoo trend for 2016.
