Steampunk tattoos

A steampunk tattoo is a type of body design, which is based on the image of pictures with elements from steam engines, gears, devices or other mechanisms. This genre in tattoo art is reminiscent of the atmosphere in which England lived at the end of the 19th and 20th centuries. At that time, smoke billowed from the chimneys of factories, lanterns were shining on the street, and scientists were also working hard, who, with their inventions, propelled technical progress.

In steampunk tattoos are visible mechanical partsthat replace real organs in the body of an animal or human. Such images can look a little unusual and a little rough. The picture can contain images such as:

  • torn skin and flesh;
  • protruding parts;
  • implanted gears;
  • airships;
  • watch mechanisms;
  • valves;
  • manometers;
  • other unusual mechanical details.

Steampunk tattoos may contain some fantasy elements. Such tattoos can seem very provocative. However, fans of this genre see their own special aesthetics in this. They can be stuffed on various parts of the body, but the images look more impressive on the legs and arms.

Until recently, steampunk tattoos were performed mainly in dark colors. Today, you can see intricate designs that use a variety of colors. Applying an image to the body in this genre requires a highly qualified artist, since it is necessary to preserve the naturalness of the drawing, its size and proportions.

This style is well suited for fans of the works of science fiction writers. Steampunk is a trend that allows an experienced artist, using needles and paints, to turn an ordinary person into a cyborg, a living machine from another world.
