Steampunk Tattoos:
Steampunk is a sub-genre of science fiction, that came into prominence
during the 1980s and early 1990s. Specifically, steampunk involves an
era or world where steam power is still widely used—usually the 19th
century and often Victorian era Britain—that incorporates prominent
elements of either science fiction or fantasy. Steam punk tats reflect
this with their use of mechanical symbolism, cogs, gears and geometric
patterns and shapes.
Steampunk Statements:
Think back to some designs you might
have considered in the past but couldn’t figure out how to really make
them work. Now think about them from a Steampunk angle. All of a sudden,
those old ideas have some new life and some new mojo.
Maybe you
already have a design you love to show off. How about a steampunk tattoo
counterpart? That’s right – show the evolution of that design. You can
also create a half- or full-sleeve design that turns your arm into a
powerhouse of pressurized Steampunk gears and gadgets. The possibilities
really are endless.
If you like the idea of a Steampunk tattoo but
just can’t seem to come up with a design on your own, see if you can
find an artist who specializes in Steampunk designs. A lot of times they
can come up with things you never would have thought of otherwise and
create the perfect design.
