75 camera tattoos: designs and meaning

Cameras (and cameras), whether vintage or digital, are examples of inventions that we should be grateful for, because they are the only means other than our brains that can perpetuate our most precious memories.

For the amateur or professional photographer, nothing is more indispensable than his camera. However, those who are not devoted to this passion are also very fond of cameras, and rightly so, because thanks to them we can immortalize certain moments forever.

Getting a tattoo with a camera or items related to this device will always be a symbolic memory.

Good drawing

One way to beautify your skin with a real camera is to use the black and gray technique and make good use of shadows.

The black and gray work serves to create a kind of three-dimensional effect without the use of colors. The most important design elements (buttons, lenses and other details of the device) will be added in white.

White ink can also be used to soften the harsh transitions between different tones in the device's design, so your tattoo can be viewed from the side, from the front, ... whatever you want: there is no limit.

Likewise, if you want to add white lettering, it will become the center of your body art.
