Surrealism tattoos are experiencing a boom in popularity. Think Dali, Magritte, Breton – Surrealism tattoos are essentially a continuation of that movement.

Just as there are no rules in the surrealist fine art world, the same applies to the Surrealist tattoo world. Surrealist tattoo artists will largely use realism techniques and styles to experiment with irrational juxtapositions, optical illusions, absurdist designs, and non-standard forms. It is also common for a Surrealism tattoo artist to incorporate hidden meanings in their work, adding to the intrigue. The results are strange, expressive, and impressive and paradoxical tattoos.

Surrealism tattoo designs are very personal to the artist. As the work is purely imaginative, individual artists will have their own concepts and ideas, so it is important to pick a Surrealist tattoo artist on the strength of their previous work and whether it speaks to you.

Surrealism tattoos can incorporate a mixture of black and grey work as well as colour work. Some Surrealist tattoo artists might lean more toward spilt-portrait tattoo themes in black and white, while others might blend abstract tattoo themes with colour work to create more fantastical images, for example.

Surrealism is statement. As such the Surrealism tattoo style is most popular as a sleeve as well as for larger works across the back or chest, for example. That being said, Geometric Surrealism Tattoos paired with Fineline Micro-Realism work beautifully for those seeking something more subtle.
