There’s no doubt that tattoos have become more popular in recent years. Celebrities, athletes and everyday people have all been embracing body art, and it’s not just limited to one or two areas of the body either.
It’s not surprising then that tattoos have also started to influence style and fashion. More and more people are using their body art as a way to express themselves, and this is showing up in how they dress for their success.
Tattoos can be used to make quite a bold statement, show off your personality or simply add an element of interest to an outfit. And whether you’re into big and bold designs or something more delicate and subtle to showcase your love for culture, personal heritage, art…etc, there’s definitely a tattoo out there for you.
If you’re thinking how do tattoos influence style, well here are some ways they can compliment your everyday look
Accessorize with your tattoo
Your tattoo can be used as a fashionable accessory, and there are a few ways to do this. If you have a small and delicate design, it is common to showcase it on your wrist or ankle where it can be easily seen. Or if you want to keep it hidden, why not try accessorizing with body jewelry that highlights your tattoo in an interesting manner.
Let your tattoo inspire your style
Your tattoo can also be a great source of inspiration for your everyday style. If you’ve got a bright and colorful design, then why not inject some of that personality into your wardrobe? Likewise, if you’ve got a more tribal or geometric tattoo, then you could use that as a starting point for a more edgy and urban look.
Use your tattoo to make a statement
Tattoos are also a great way to make a fashion statement. If you want to show the world that you’re unique, confident and not afraid to be different, then why not use your body art to do just that? Whether you choose to go big and bold with your design or keep it small and discreet, a tattoo can definitely help you stand out from the crowd.
Cover up with style
Not everyone wants to show off their tattoos all the time, for some it can be quite a personal piece of work commemorating a moment in their life, and that’s perfectly fine. If you’d rather keep your body art hidden, then there are still plenty of ways to incorporate it into your style without drawing too much attention to yourself.
One option is to simply cover up your tattoo when you’re not wanting to show it off or do a partial cover to add to the mystery. Trust me, this can be a great conversation starter. This can be easily done with clothing, and there are even some special tattoo cover-up products on the market that can help you achieve a flawless look for those trying to achieve a more professional look.
Embrace your inner rebel
There’s no doubt that tattoos have a bit of a rebellious edge to them, and this is something that you can definitely use to your advantage. Unlike, 20 years ago where tattoos were still being widely regarded as taboo, nowadays they are thoroughly acceptable. So, if you’re looking to add a touch of bad-assery to your look, then why not let your tattoos do the talking?
Whether you want to keep them hidden or on display, there’s no denying that tattoos can definitely influence your style and your overall persona. So if you’re thinking about getting inked, then make sure you choose a design that not only looks good but also reflects your personality and sense of self as well.
