The coming year of 2023 will open up new directions in tattoo designs. This year, minimalist and thin-line tattoos have been the trend, which will continue in 2023 while new trends appear. The predicted trends in 2023 are realistic mini tattoos, jewelry tattoos, and bracelet tattoos.
Tattoo styles that will be trending in 2023
Minimalist Tattoos: do not go out of fashion and are becoming increasingly common. They are simple in style, and can be a great option if you want a discreet tattoo. Minimalist tattoos also cause less discomfort and pain, as their designs have fewer details; the fewer details a tattoo has, the shorter the duration of the tattoo session is.
Thin-line Tattoos: are usually minimalist and are tattooed in black ink. This style of tattoo delivers a delicate look to any design. Thanks to modern equipment, tattoo artists can ink on the smallest of details originating from their original concept sketch. The needle used for this style of tattoo is extremely fine in size; these needles can mimic details like pen strokes from the original design. Thin-line tattoos are ideal for first-time tattooers or those with a lower pain tolerance.
Realistic Mini Tattoos: Realistic tattoos generally aim to show an image photographically or even a direct replica of an original photo, subject, or object. The design is highly complex as it must capture shadows, highlights and the dimensions of the subject or object. Experts in producing realistic tattoos are highly skilled in their work; they devote a lot of time and effort to mastering the art of shading. Realistic tattoos are always in popular demand; many people get realistic tattoos of their loved ones and their pets. Realistic mini tattoos are smaller versions of realistic tattoos. They are becoming popular because they are more sophisticated than the Old and New school styles.
Jewelry tattoos: are ornamental in designs; they could be detailed or minimalist in style. Jewelry tattoos represent real-life jewelry, such as necklaces, rings, and bracelets, with bracelets being the most popular.
Tattoo colours that will be trendy in 2023
There are currently two colour styles trending and will continue to trend in the coming year: black and white and brightly coloured tattoos. Despite being opposite styles, they are the most common nowadays.
Black and White: The perfect colour for minimalist tattoos and complex strokes. The absence of flashy colours makes the designs stand out, and they are ideal for classic and vintage tattoo styles.
Vivid Colours: These are vivid and vibrant tattoos that use various shades. Vivid colours are ideal for modern-style tattoos that emphasize colour over strokes. A sub-style of this is watercolour tattoos, which resemble watercolour paintings with light tones and strong contrasts. Vivid colour tattoos are considered to be soft inks, these tattoos tend to hurt less, however, they are less durable.
