Heavy Blackwork Tattoos

Emerging as the unprecedented opposite of mainstream tattoo culture are Heavy Blackwork and Black Out tattoos. Under the hashtags #heavyblackwork and #blackouttattoo, more and more artworks can be found, as well as people who opt for this extravagant way of expressing tattoos.

With this style you should definitely not be afraid of needles, have enough stamina and enough nerves. Because these tattoos are quite more painful than the rest of the motifs on the market. But:

So these tattoos, often stung in very long and intensive sessions, represent the counter-reaction to the delicate, free-standing motifs in the Fineline style.

Heavy Blackwork is by no means a new trend in the tattoo scene, but definitely an eye-catcher. Because in this style, only black tattoo color is used - and not too scarce. The tattoos immerse large areas of the body, up to whole body parts in black color. Therefore, the complete covering of the skin can also be considered as a border crossing. Heavy Blackwork Tattoos are of course excellent for covering unwanted and unloved tattoos. These can be covered, often as a last resort of a cover-up. After all, after black comes no more. With this style, there is no compromise and no going back, because no laser will ever be able to remove the wide black. In addition to blacking out entire body parts, the style can also function as a background or as a dark motif supplemented with white highlights. Rarely are motifs decorated with details.

Is it the striving for the perfect covering of the skin with black ink or the striving for one's own pain threshold that tempts people to get these tattoos? Is there a more appealing piece of art on the skin today than one with no obvious message or meaning? What is clear is that these unpassable tattoos are at odds with the notion that tattoos must always be individualized. Perhaps these depersonalized tattoos are becoming increasingly popular today because they still have a uniqueness to them.

Tattoos come in all shapes, sizes and colors - and so do wide-area black tattoos. With heavy blackwork on your skin, you're definitely making a visible, visual statement of your body.

Provocative. Absolutely. And unbeatable.
