The most beautiful and currently popular tattoo styles

They look like sketches that the tattoo artist paints on the skin. With thick and thin lines and rough shading, sometimes with a hatching effect, this wild style becomes what it is. It looks more masculine and rough compared to the Fineline tattoo. So if you want to give your desired design a cool, wild touch, you should definitely think about using this style!

You know them forever, the tribal tattoos of the Maori also simply called Maori tattoos. The Maori are a people of New Zealand and they are known for their beautiful body painting. Traditionally, these tattoos were tapped into the skin by hand, as we know it, for example, nowadays from the Poke (English poke, not Pokemon) tattoos. The different patterns and motifs each have their own meaning, so you should thoroughly inform yourself beforehand about what you are actually tattooing.

Black Solid or Blackout Tattoos are tattoos that contain completely black filled elements. Very well known here are the Black Solid bracelets or whole sleeves where a large part of the arm is completely black. Partly this is also only a cover-up emergency solution, if previous unwanted tattoos are to be overlaid. At the same time, these tattoos look simple, but also expressive.

According to the website "watchpeople.com", the Trash Polka style is a tattoo style which was developed by tattoo artists Volker Merschky and Simone Pfaff. They combined realistic images with other artistic objects (trash). All the elements fit together like a composition in the musical sense, which they call polka. There are supposed to be no rules here. Characteristic of these tattoos are the wild motifs used together, and the color red as an eye-catcher.

These tattoos are available in two variations. Either it is stung only with colors, so that the stung looks like its own watercolor painting, or it is used as a color accent in tattoos, which was stung classically with black lines. Both variations are simply a beautiful eye-catcher! Here, all kinds of colors are used and also stung as if they had been painted with water and brush, Characteristic here are also small blobs of color.

Entire motifs are shown abstracted and also supplemented by geometric elements and thus look like a beautiful geometric pattern. It looks very antique and stable. Through further or differently arranged elements, however, it can also look very dymanic and fleeting. Especially animals are very happy to be completely or partially abstracted. The tattoo artist should be practiced with these motifs because by the constant line thickness errors are easy to see.

These tattoos consist exclusively or partly of dots, continuous lines are taboo! Often this is used for mandalatattos and other ornaments. But also quite normal motifs are increasingly stung only dotted. Due to the different density of the dots, a different gray value can arise.

Fine lines are stung with a very thin needle. These tattoos look very feminine and delicate. Often this style is used for floral motifs. Sometimes it is only outlines of motifs also known as One Line Tattoos, or combined with the Dortwork style to fill in areas in a discreet way. These tattoos require a lot of sensitivity because small wobbles are clearly visible here.

In very simple terms: lettering. Words or sentences are brought in a suitable font on the skin. Very popular are currently optically handwritten fonts and typewriter fonts that look like the letters of old typewriters.

Inspired by old Japanese artwork, wave, koi fish and mountain motifs are often tattooed with a sun, even in combination. We all know the typical Japanese art, and often tattoos include the characteristics of Japanese calligraphy brushes. These tattoos look very traditional and strong.

One of the most popular trends at the moment. Individual image panels from manga are tattooed on the skin just as they are, even with speech bubble. Some also invent their own manga panels and unite different characters in a crossover, as if they would appear together in the same manga. Here are sometimes also used different styles, and for example only simple linearts stung, but also in a sketchy look you can find these tattoos.

This trend is also incredibly popular at the moment. These tattoos look very artistic, and various motifs are decorated with lines, geometric elements and typography. They look very full and very elaborate, are partly also very finely engraved.
