One solid line tattoos

The world of social media plays a fundamental role in spreading trends, be it makeup, hair, clothing and food. The ink world is no exception. The best tattoo artists in the world use tools like Instagram and Facebook to spread their art and grab the attention of the beholder.

In this article we will talk about a new trend that takes us into the past, into the games of our childhood. As a child, we all tried to draw a house without even lifting the pencil from the paper, and realized how difficult it can be.

The new fashion in the world of tattoos is based on this skill: creating complex objects using a single continuous line. We are talking about "single line tattoo”, The perfect tattoo in style hipster revaluation in the key minimum.

How did the trend start?

The forerunner of this technique is Mo Ganji, an Iranian-born tattoo artist based in Berlin. Running a large company in the fashion industry, he decided, after realizing some of the injustices in the garment industry, to quit his job and devote himself to his passion - tattoos. It was he who launched this fashion.

This trend soon spread throughout the world thanks to the intervention of social media. What makes this technique fun is that tattoos are very lightweight. While making them seems straightforward, they actually require precision and technical skill. The result is a minimalist style, but complex in developing.

Submitted subjects

Animals, flowers, people, faces, skulls, skeletons, mountains and trees are just a few of the objects chosen by the artists. Observed from a distance, they are extremely difficult. However, if you get close, you can trace the line that composes them with your finger from start to finish.

More recently, the trend has changed. More and more fans of the genre are demanding the creation of a word or short sentence, the letters of which are connected.

To give more movement, the line is thinned and thickened, giving the depicted objects more harmony and uniqueness. What strikes the observer is the dynamism that a tattoo artist can achieve with a single line.

This is not the first direction in which geometric shapes are used to create more or less complex objects. Consider, for example, dotwork, a style characterized by dots, born from the concept of pointillism applied to the world of tattoos.

Call for the tattoo artist

It is very difficult to make a tattoo from one solid line. This takes a lot of patience and precision. If the needle comes off the skin, make sure you start from the same point again.

Creating something simple and perfect is even more of a challenge than making something complex. The result is a flawless design capable of kidnapping the greats of the Internet.
