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.

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 new age tattoo:

The Steampunk tattoos became famous during the Eighties but it is still popular even now. The main reason for its popularity is that it shows that life has become very mechanical. Steampunk tattoos are done by the tattoo artists using either of the two different techniques; one is the tromp loeil style and the other is "the trick of the eye" art. These tattoos show some hidden potentiality within them. Imagine that you have got a mechanical lever in the place of titanium skeleton and tendons. Thus, these tattoos help us to show out true colors.
