3D Tattoo Designs Ideas for Men and Women

All You Need To Know About 3D Tattoos

3D is something which has become the standard for good content. A movie comes out in 3D and we assume it must be great considering that it has a 3 dimensional experience packed in it, for us. Why would the tattoo industry not face the desire of clients to have the 3D experience in their tattoos? Well, of course there's no reason hence 3D tattoos are a huge deal now and are quite preferred by the lovers of 3D art.

What are 3D tattoos?

3D tattoos are those which give the illusion of being 3 dimensional i.e. above the skin or even coming from within. Just like a 3D image where we feel it's real, 3D tattoos feel real too but real in the sense of having an extra dimension to it; which gives you the vibe of it being tangible, touchable.

A misconception or rather, a misunderstanding of 3D tattoos has been that they're like portrait tattoos, they're realistic. Yes, 3D tattoos do seem realistic but they're not basically realistic. They're just made with the illusion of having more than a 2 dimensional effect. They need not be made to seem realistic at all. Realistic tattoos are different from 3D tattoos. A realistic tattoo can be a portrait of your parents which looks so life-like that you feel it's them, in a freeze frame on your bicep whereas a 3D tattoo need not look realistic but it gives the illusion with the help of shadows that it has another dimension or layer, in simple terms, to it which might be either hovering over or be engraved in the skin.

How are 3D tattoos made?

The way sketches are made to look like they're 3D, tattoos are too. Shadows, highlights and using various geometrical aspects to make the image appear 3D, are used by tattoo artists. These techniques make the tattoo look like they're at a distance from the skin which helps create the illusion of the design being above the skin. The recent technology, which has made animation so advanced, has also helped tattoo artists to make 3D tattoos now.

Geometry and various abstract lines and designs around the main design help create the image of the design coming out of the body. This is especially used when the design involves an organ or another object coming out of the body. It gets cleaner and the idea gets presented perfectly through this.

Types of 3D tattoos

There are a variety of things that can come under 3D tattoos. Always talk to a professional tattoo artist, whose specialization is 3D and you'll be able to get your customizations, right.
