Tattoos: My body, my canvas

How keen are you to turn your body into an ink filled canvas? well in this modern day, it’s not an uncommon sight to see! Especially in recent years as trends in tattoos have taken significant turns in style and are no longer just symbols of traditions and culture huge over-coloured designs that undertake hours of painful sessions to complete. Doesn’t sound worth it does it? 

Gen-Z has discovered an easier and subtler approach to body art. Minimalism can take as little as 5-minute session. just a tickle to your skin right? the technique for this style is as simple as restricting designs to fine line/lime art. which is a quick and easy method of tattooing and leaving final outcomes of art, excessive shading or color.  

the saying “less is more” is one to take for the team on this trend for tattoos. and most recently more celebrities have caught into it such as Hailey Bieber, Selena Gomez and Miley Cyrus, and have influenced us as a young society to catch on to it!

minimalistic tattoos are a new fun way to express a personality and identity through subtle art style, making it easier than commuting to larger, less elegant approaches. most recently popular are small words or meaningful numbers or dates, etc. they could also convey the deepest meanings behind them keeping in mind that they can be seen as a more feminine approach to the world of body art as they are seen as delicate and graceful. I don’t know about you but I’m ready to book my next appointment!
