Tattoo organic - combining natural and human in one image
Every year there are more and more new trends in the art of tattooing, which are rapidly developing and gaining their army of fans. One of them is the organics tattoo. Many tattooists do not consider it a separate independent style, but distinguish it as a substyle of tattoo biomechanics.
Distinguishing features of organic tattoos
Tattoo in the style of organic originate from the late 80s of the last century. Therefore, this direction, in contrast to, for example, the style of tribal or ethnic, is one of the “youngest”. Its founder is the American tattoo master Guy Atchison. You can also identify such professionals in this field as Nick Baxter and Roman Abrego. Their creations combine real and non-existent elements.
In fact, sketches of tattoo organics are abstraction and fantasy images in the form of a symbiosis of natural components and the human body. Such drawings are chosen by people who feel harmony with nature, treat it with reverence and love.
The main features of tattoo organics are:
- Patterns create positive feelings due to their juiciness, catchiness and colorfulness;
- The brightest colors up to acidic are used - red, green, orange, yellow, brown;
- Detailed execution of contours and shadows;
- Drawn with the help of soft and smooth lines that harmoniously lie on the skin;
- Often they are applied with Freehand - immediately on the body without a preliminary version on paper.
Organics tattoo sketches are based on a macro photo of natural elements:
- Seed;
- Vegetables;
- Fruit;
- Stones;
- Minerals;
- Roots;
- Corals.
- Spikes;
- Bones;
- Algae;
- Claws
Themes of organic tattoos
The choice of plot depends solely on the imagination of the future owner of the tattoo organics. After all, this style is characterized by abstractness. The “ripped skin” scheme is effectively applied here. This technique creates a special spectacle, allowing you, as it were, to consider the human body in combination with the natural elements woven into it from the inside through the resulting "wound".
Also, an organics tattoo can also be in the form of an image of a living being combined with a specific component. For example:
- Snake with algae;
- Fish among the bones;
- Butterfly on the background of bone formations.
I found my place among the organic tattoos and the traditional pattern for the tattoo - the skull.
Although many people say that biomechanical and organic tattoos are very similar directions, this is far from being the case. Ornaments in the second case do not contain any mechanical inclusions and are rarely performed in a monochrome scale, and therefore do not look so gloomy and aggressive.
Who and where is better to stuff organic tattoos?
Organic tattoos are more suitable for girls because of their colorful, quieter shades. They emphasize femininity better than coarse biomechanical tattoos. But it is rather a general subjective opinion. Among men, there are also many fans of this trend, especially fans of bright large-scale tattoos and sleeves.
In this style will look great pictures of any size, so they are suitable for almost all areas on the body. Volumetric tattoos will look good on:
- Back;
- Breast
Smaller tattoos are best applied to:
- Hand;
- Shoulder;
- Hip.
Such a solution as the smooth transition of a pattern from one part of the body to another becomes popular. It looks especially advantageous when the tattoo starts on the shoulder and then “spreads” down the arm or moves to the chest. Also a tattoo sleeve organics or compositions from several drawings made on various parts of the body in the form of ragged wounds.
You can make some kind of association tattoo in the style of organic with biomechanical tattoos. This option will allow you to create a unique sketch that will combine dark shades and acidic colorful tones. This will be an excellent manifestation of the individuality of a particular person.
The technique of tattooing organics is very complicated. It is necessary to chop harmonically all the elements on the body step by step in order to make a whole natural composition. This may require more than one session and great skill. Therefore, it is strictly not recommended to apply such an image yourself. It is better to find a high-quality tattoo artist who will be able step by step to realize your idea and as a result create a unique masterpiece.
