So listen to advice from professional tattoo gurus who know a lot about their craft. Especially for you, the leading masters of the reFORM studios in Moscow and St. Petersburg told which tattoos are now very popular with their clients. Lovers of everything delicate and concise, and true rebels will find their option in this list.

This trend first appeared 2-3 years ago, and since then it has become increasingly popular. Abstraction has no boundaries or simple shapes. It seems to me that this technique became significant because society felt the freedom to express themselves.

Today, many borders have been erased or have lost their former value. And abstraction just helps to express something new in sensations that are difficult to describe in words. Moreover, the main advantage of such tattoos is their ability to look organic and emphasize the plasticity of the body.

Abstract tattoos do not draw attention to themselves, but only complement the human figure. I often hear clients say they feel like they’ve always been with my tattoos.

Of course, there is now a big trend for unique tattoos – those that can say something about a person or a story of their life. Something very personal, sincere and honest. This is why abstraction is popular.

You can put feelings, sensations, emotions, images, songs and anything in general in such a tattoo. This style expands the possibilities of self-expression.

Every style that is now popular, in one way or another, supports the main trend – uniqueness. For example, my favorite fine graphics in this context are now more relevant than ever. Light and delicate lines in a slight contrast of shadows or lighter contours are always elegant and beautiful: today and in a few decades.

Of course, each master conveys this graphics in his own way. Such tattoos, for all their apparent lightness and photogenicity, can reflect complex meanings and inner emotions. The fragility of the lines adds intimacy and versatility to the plot, and sometimes it even contrasts with the client’s appearance. Interestingly, the fine graphics look just as stylish for girls as they do for men.

One of the absolute trends in modern tattooing is a new interpretation of Asian culture. The Korean masters were the first to open it to us.

They are classic and understandable characters: tigers, dragons, snakes or florists, but executed in fineline technique or in engraving stylization. The game with a colored outline is also popular, most often shades of blue and red are used for this.

It is a relatively young style of tattooing, close to graphics. It is impossible not to fall in love with this direction: the thinnest lines, transparent shadows, filigree shapes, which are applied with the thinnest needle.

As a master, I will say this is very detailed work, but the tattoo is just amazing!

Lettering is one of the most popular tattoo trends. People always want to convey meanings important to them through words. In addition, modern tattoo artists can make the design of the inscription unique, organically adapt it to the human body, add artistic elements.

Some tattoo artists create their own special and unique font. Masters use it as a means of self-expression, and clients come for this unique insight. In addition, people often come with a text written by their relatives (parents, grandmothers, friends). Then the handwriting of an important person for them becomes the basis for the style of the future tattoo.

The botanical tattoo trend has been popular for five years and its influence will be with us for a long time. Because natural patterns are a classic. Man is surrounded by nature, we aspire to it even in megalopolises.

At the same time, floral tattoos don’t look alike. Botany can be completely different: soft and light, expressive and bold in color outlines, minimalist and ascetic. Everyone finds their reading.

Miniature, yet meaningful in content, tattoos with a high level of detail have been popular for a few years. They allow you to convey important meanings on a relatively small area of ​​skin.

In addition, they are delicate and often invisible at first sight. It allows you to decide on a tattoo even for those who have long doubted.
