Surrealism in tattoo

This style, unusual and eye-catching, is also called "super-realism". The original images seem to bring to life fabulous universes, parallel worlds and mysterious dreams.

A surrealist tattoo can be called a kind of protest to the gray everyday life and conventions that society imposes. We can say with confidence that a person who chooses surrealism for a tattoo is able to see something in the world around him that is inaccessible to others.

It is worth noting that the very name of the style came to us from the French language and means “superreality". That is, something that lifts us above the ordinary and makes us look at things from a different angle.

Most often, the motives for sketches of tattoos in the style of surrealism are:

  • fairy tale characters (dragons, elves);
  • stylized flowers and birds;
  • abstract ornaments and patterns.

Ethnic ornaments and symbols in a certain style of performance are also commonly referred to as surrealism. Unlike other images, they can also be performed in black and white. This includes the Celtic runes, and indian dream catchers, and graceful Slavic kolovrats.

In addition, recently more and more people want to see on their you pictures of the most talented masters of surrealism: Salvador Dali, Vladimir Kush, Wassily Kandinsky... Such work, of course, requires a certain level of talent from the master.

A distinctive feature of all images on the body, made in this style, is their brightness and brilliance. In the overwhelming majority of cases, surreal tattoos do not carry any hidden meaning or philosophy and do not impose any obligations on their owner. However, they help to open up, express your inner world, outlook on life, stand out from the crowd and feel your singularity.

Novice tattoo artists often prefer to work in this style, because it allows them to show all their talent and imagination. Sometimes, real works of art appear on people's backs or hands, and it is difficult to look away from them.

According to statistics, the fair sex prefer to decorate with such abstractions. neck, ankles, as well as the back (if the image is large). Men are more likely to choose forearms or chest.
