The Beginning Of Cool Tattoo Designs

Like most other tattoo designs, the birth of cool tattoo designs came about when tattoo artists and tattoo enthusiasts from various tattoo communities across the world like to have unique and brand new tattoo designs in the market for them to play with. These tattoo artists spent countless nights thinking of new tattoo designs that will certainly fit the demands of the tattoo community. The first set of designs that these artists devised was the rebirth of traditional tattoo designs into the neotraditional tattoo design we know and love today.

These neotraditional tattoos marked the start of something new in the tattoo industry. For far too long, the industry has a lot of options for tattoo designs but most of these options are dated or extremely old. As more and more tattoo enthusiast demand for newer modern designs, tattoo artists from various points of the globe clamor in to make new designs that can ideally be introduced to the tattoo market every year.

Cool Tattoo Designs Out There

At this day and age where there are literally hundreds, if not thousands, of tattoo designs available, the immediate need for cool tattoo designs to be introduced in the market lessened. Although it is lessened, new designs are still introduced once every few years to continually grow the tattoo industry’s official roster of tattoo designs it can offer to its large and unique clientele.

Here are some cool tattoo designs we saw on the internet that might interest you:

Landscape Tattoos

Landscape tattoos, like the name implies, is a tattoo design that features natural and beautiful sceneries as the object of the tattoo. This tattoo design was actually just created or devised a few years ago while tattoo artists are desperate in looking for new cool tattoo designs to introduce to the market.

When these tattoo artists are starting to deplete their usual tattoo idea inspirations, they looked to nature and saw that Mother Nature can be the inspiration itself for their tattoo designs. Tattoo artists began inking beautiful sceneries as tattoos to tattoo enthusiasts and the reception was outstanding. Despite its currently small consumer base, we suspect that in a few years, this tattoo design will catch on and become a rising tattoo design.

City Tattoos

City tattoos is a stark contrast from the cool tattoo design mentioned above, landscape tattoos. City tattoos are basically a tattoo design that heavily features various cityscapes as the main object of interest of the tattoo.

Most city tattoos are composed by the towering skylines of cities with its skyscrapers and towers being the focal point of the tattoo design in general. Others just have the silhouette of the city skyline tattooed to give off that simple yet elegant and creative aura.

No matter what the design of the city tattoo might be, it is still considered as one of the harder designs out there because of the various lines it uses and the complexity of the inspiration itself. complex? yes, it is complex because tattoo artists need to copy the aura of the city when doing the tattoo. You would not like to have a tattoo of New York City then give off the aura of let us say, Los Angeles right? So yes, this design is considered hard because of the evoked aura it needs to achieve.

Camera Tattoos

Since the dawn of 2010, this age is considered as the “Instagram age” or “photography age” because a lot of people now are starting to like photography even if they are just beginners and novices. With this, it will come as no surprise that camera tattoo designs began springing up in the tattoo market as a cool tattoo design.

Men And Cool Tattoo Designs

Men usually get tattoo designs that will evoke fear, awesomeness, and strength but as time goes by and the years have passed, more and more men are now ditching the idea of the tattoo as a symbol of their power and vigor.

Men are now starting to see tattoos as a way to express their feelings and personality which is why more men now are getting tattoo designs which were once considered feminine by society. Currently, more men are now trying cool tattoo ideas and are experimenting with others to see what could perfectly express their personality on their skin.

Now that men are starting to open up their options in tattoo designs, we should all expect more and more tattoo designs to be introduced to us every year that can be both rocked by men and women.

Women And Cool Tattoo Designs

Since the introduction of new tattoo designs in the tattoo industry and tattoo community, more and more women now are being persuaded to have tattoos on their skin. Women, in general, lean towards a unisexual or feminine design which is why they like cool tattoo designs.

In the past, they really like designs that will evoke a lot of meaning and emotions. Currently, however, more women now are getting tattoos, not because of the implications of the design, but rather the artistic values of the said designs. Cool tattoo designs have that artistic sense they crave for and also a good meaning at that to boot. (well, technically speaking, cool tattoo designs only hold meaning if the wearer wants it to have one)

With the old age of tattoo designs behind us, we are very much excited for the years to come and new tattoo designs that will be introduced to us every year. We can confidently tell that this decade will be a fruitful one for the tattoo industry and tattoo community and may the prosperous years last.
