Gothic tattoos

The Gothic style in art is rooted in the culture of European countries of the XII-XVI centuries. For a long time, medieval art, which was later called "Gothic", was considered barbaric.

This word first and foremost associated with architecture and sculpture, however, in our time, some elements of this artistic direction have penetrated into the art of tattooing.

If we talk about the most common things, the most popular manifestation of the Gothic culture in tattooing is the font. You can easily compose any word or phrase using gothic tattoo alphabet.

But, of course, such an age-related style could not manifest itself in just one font. Gothic fans depict a lot of characteristic plots on their bodies that have similar elements. If we talk about colors, then it is, first of all, black and red. Modern Goths adhere to a rather gloomy image, not only in clothes, hairstyles and makeup, but also in tattoos.

In addition, very often Gothic tattoos are depicted using patterns, ornaments and other artistic elements that are also used in architecture. Among the classic plots, one can distinguish the image of wings, fallen angel, the bat, gothic cross... In the meantime, some interesting photos of tattoos in the Gothic style. How do you like it?
