Different Types...
There are many different types of Tattoos and countless designs to choose from. Think for a bit about what you like, and what kind of Tattoo would best fit your personality. It sounds like common sense, but a lot of people get a Tattoo off impulse, regretting their decision later in life.
People always ask me what Tattoos they should get. It is a difficult question because there is no correct answer, each person is different, and it is dependant on personal preference. Instead, I will give insight as to some general types of Tattoos and also the most popular categories for 2010. Happy inking.
Different Types of Tattoos:
Naturalistic Tattoos
An attempt is made to portray the Tattoo(s) in a realistic style, or the 'natural' form. The portrayal, involving minute detailing, shading and perspective, is done in such a way that imparts a tattoo design as much realism as possible. With their cost a little on the higher side, naturalistic tattoos more popularly comprise of faces of Native Americans and religious leaders.
Abstraction Tattoos
Abstraction tattoos, derived from archaic styles of tattooing, do not involve too much artwork. Abstraction Tattoos are mostly done in shades of black and gray. Abstractions tattoos include tribal and Celtic style tattoos, Old English and Chinese symbols.
Simplification Tattoos
Simplification tattoos don't have any limits in terms of the designs. Almost any and every shape and size can be included in this type, as long as it is stylized by the tattoo maker. Right from the action figurines and animals to flowers and hearts, the range of designs in simplification tattoos is quite wide. Panthers and lions are the popular designs in standard simplification tattoos, while dragons and zodiac signs rule in custom-made stylized tattoos.
Dedication Tattoos
Dedication tattoos, involve the use of the sailor-based designs, like the heart and name banner, the anchor with a ship name, and the insignia of a military regiment or crosses. They command a reasonable price, mainly because of this reason they are amongst the standard designs offered at a tattoo parlor.
Complex Tattoos
Complex Tattoos, as their name suggests, involve designs that are much more intricate than the other styles. Also known as combo Tattoos, they are comprised of a mixture of various tattoos. The most popular complex tattoos comprise of traditional Japanese body suits and combinations of unrelated images.
