Tattoo in the style of graphics

Black and white graphics represent a new trend that emerged abroad at the end of the last century. The beginning of the origin of this technique is considered to be in 2000, when the East River Tattoo studio was opened.
In the last five years alone, graphics have gained particular popularity among tattoo lovers. This is due to the active spread of the punk theme.
The formation of the features of this type of tattoos was directly influenced by postmodernism and reflections on the beautiful in graphic design. Graphic-style tattoos are a favorite type of images of designers and craftsmen who are closest to art.
Distinctive features
At first glance, the style of the chart may be similar to black and gray or Chicano. However, upon closer examination of the photos and sketches, noticeable distinctive features can be seen. The unifying feature is the use of black in these genres, however, tattoos in the style of graphics have a special filling technology pattern on the body. Here is every picture applied with dashes... At this time, hard shadows are created and clear outlines of all the details of the image are indicated. Another striking feature of the style is color saturation. The graphics do not involve the use of halftones and are based on monochrome only.
If we consider the technical execution, then it is very difficult to work in this style. All hatching details must be performed parallel to each other and at the same time they must differ in length and be arranged in a chaotic order. Shading rounded and complex shapes may require completion of art courses.
Old engravings serve as the subject line for drawings in this style. Most often, masters in this genre depict:
- insects;
- animals;
- birds
- elements of the plant world;
- weapons;
- skulls and skeletons.
Among the most popular are images of a wolf, a dragonfly and rose bushes. Experienced craftsmen are able to cover the entire back, chest or side with graphics, as well as perform ingenious tattoos depicting people's faces in this unusual style.
