Botanical designs, fine line work and softer, muted color palettes are also common. Tattoo trends right now covers the main styles and motifs, and tattoo color trends looks at the colors people ask for and how they look on different skin tones.
Technology in tattooing
Many artists now draw designs on tablets, and AI tools help clients explore ideas before a consultation. Augmented reality lets you see a design on your own body before you book. AI and technology in tattooing explains what these tools can and cannot do. You can try tattoos on in AR with real designs from Inkjin artists.
Trend or keeper
A trend can look great now and feel dated in ten years. Pick a design you would still want if it went out of fashion. Very small and very fine designs also blur faster, so ask your artist about the right size. If you are unsure, read the tattoo regret guide first.
