Man or machine? Cool biomechanics tattoos

Do you love the steampunk style and are you interested in retro motifs and the aesthetic connection between man and machine? Then you could have your skin decorated with a unique biomechanical tattoo. I'll tell you what makes this tattoo style so special and show you numerous pictures and motif examples for inspiration.

The fascination of biomechanics

Many tattoo motifs have a special meaning and are symbolic of a certain property. With some skin decorations, however, it is more about an aesthetic claim. This definitely includes biomechanical tattoos: The often large-area tattoos often decorate arms, legs or the back can in principle be worn all over the body. We cannot look into our body like we can see into a machine and its structure. Therein lies the great fascination for body mechanics.

A biomechanical motif acts like a section from the inside of the human body. You could also say that it turns the inner workings of our body outwards and shows what is otherwise only hidden under the skin. But that's not all: the mechanical aspect is added, since the natural tendons and bones are linked with mechanical elements. A sci-fi fantasy á la Star Trek is projected onto the skin: the human being is shown as a living cyborg, so to speak, which is partly made up of machine parts.

Biomechanics and steampunk

This style of tattoo is often worn by people who are not only interested in science fiction topics in books, films and series. He has great parallels to retro-futuristic steampunk, an art genre that combines modern, future-oriented technologies with materials from the Victorian era (19th century). One of the most popular early steampunk authors and inspiration for all who celebrate this style is the author of the fantastic adventure novel "Journey to the Center of the Earth", Jules Verne.

This style is often accompanied by a fascination for technology and the inner functionality of the human body. If you also love vintage fashion, wear the retro style and have a love for old jewelry or pocket watches anyway, this tattoo could be a perfect fit for you. Some only wear this tattoo to turn the inside of the body outward and thereby show a certain vulnerability. With a tattoo like this you will definitely stand out and draw attention to yourself.
