Styles: Concept

Concept tattooing is a new and upcoming genre of artwork which fuses various existing tattoo styles. Taking inspiration from micro realism, illustrative and fine line tattoos, it enables clients to create a story within their designs like never before.

One defining feature of concept tattoos is the use of negative space. Concept tattoo designs are often micro and minimal but can easily cover large amounts of space. They contain an amazing amount of detail, using geometric patterns and linework to expertly join the design in a way that is unique to its style. Conceptual tattoos are highly detailed and technical with expert composition, enabling a design to flow effortlessly on the body. They often cover large areas without looking overpowering or using heavy coverage. They are also easy to expand due to the clever use of negative space.

Clients often choose these tattoo designs to tell a story within their tattoos. This genre lends itself perfectly to intricate and delicate designs. These pieces frequently feature minute detail that is unparalleled, making them ideal for individuals interested in elaborate, ongoing projects. They also enable enthusiasts to start small and easily grow their collection creating seamless designs that can grow with you.

Concept tattoo designs often include subjects such as Nature, Greek mythology, classical sculpture, script and astronomy but the possibilities are endless.
