You might think someone drew a quick sketch on the skin with a pencil. This is the illusion of a sketch tattoo, making it a unique direction among tattoo styles. Here, fine lines are put together almost like a kind of doodle to a motif, so that it gets the appearance of a pencil drawing.
Wild, imperfect lines
Many draftsmen of classical art use so-called auxiliary lines for their drawing, which are either painted over or erased at the end. They form the basic framework or outline of a later work of art. In a sketch tattoo, these lines are deliberately used and brought to bear, so that the motif resembles an unfinished illustration. Through many small fine lines, artists highlight shading and create texture throughout the tattoo. It is not uncommon to see motifs that are in motion and are really set off by the Sketch style. Lines overlap, don't close off, or are incorporated into geometric elements, making a Sketch tattoo a perfect imperfection and transforming any motif, no matter how boring, into a distinctive work of art. In most cases, they are stung exclusively with black ink, but this does not mean that the implementation of a colored variant is impossible. In order for the many lines and the motif to really come into their own, the motif should have an appropriate size. With tattoos that are too small, it is difficult to bring out the sketch factor and have it represented as a drawing.
As simple and simple this kind of style looks, the implementation requires great talent and experience of the respective tattoo artist. Anyone who creates a moving motif from simple, wild lines in the form of a sketch illustration is already experienced in the field. One artist who is considered a pioneer of the sketch style is Inez Janiak. The Polish artist has quickly gained popularity through her Instagram account, which is now followed by over 200k people, and the unique quality of her work. Her almost dark tattoos inspire many fans worldwide and helped Inez to gain a lot of hype in popularity. She especially inspires men with her dark and expressive tattoos, which can be downright intimidating with the right motif. In an interview with Tattoofan magazine, she revealed that she paints her clients in advance a sketch on paper and the later tattoo should resemble this design as detailed as possible. Many clients request animal designs, which Inez doesn't complain about. Except when it comes to a specific animal. "I like animals. However, I hate wolves. I try not to show it, but if I just read or hear the word wolf, I run away as fast as possible," Inez jokes.
