A Growing Trend For Tattoos
Minimalist tattoos continue to grow in popularity.
These designs make maximum use of crisp black lines, ‘simple’ detail, sparse color (if any!) and negative space in order to convey designs that are clean and striking.
Due to the term ‘minimalist’ it is easy to assume that the designs are only small in size.
This is most certainly not the case!
Minimalist tattoos can be as big as you like.
No matter what size or design you choose it is usually the case that the tattoo itself consists of extremely precise single lines that go to form a concise all-round look.
What Are Minimalist Tattoos?
A correctly completed minimalist tattoo is one which is reduced to its necessary elements.
Minimalism strips everything down leaving only the essential quality in a simple form.
As mentioned, a key component of minimalist tattoos is negative space.
Through the omission of most detail from a subject or an idea this ’emptiness’ serves to highlight and emphasize specific details.
Those looking for minimal tattoos should understand that the term refers to the actual content of the design, not its size, and that when a design is correctly completed it will have been delivered in the most deconstructed way possible.
What Are Some of The Most Popular Minimalist Designs?
Honestly, a minimalist design can be made of pretty much any subject!
But it’s always helpful to have a starting place.
To find a symbol that suits you and help get those tattoo juices flowing, let’s take a look at some of the most popular minimalist designs.
- Arrow across the middle of a bow: The symbol of an arrow being pulled back on a bow in tattoo art symbolizes conflict, tension or life’s struggle
- Arrow released from a bow: As can be imagined this is the natural transition from the above symbol and stands for either moving forward in general or a positive transition in your life
