As a tattoo enthusiast, I am always on the lookout for the latest and best tattoo artist out there. Undeniably, there are the very famous Miami Ink, and L.A. Ink. There are several different categories for tattoos.
Abstractions
Abstractions are tattoo designs that are mostly from archaic tattooing. Almost all the tribal tattoos belong to this category, as well as Celtic or modern, western abstract designs.
Naturalistic Tattoos
Naturalistic tattoos fall in this category.
Pledge or Dedication Deigns
These kinds of designs are associated with sailor or ‘traditional’ western tattooing. Some examples of pledge or dedicated tattoos are the heart and name banner tattoo, the anchor with a ship name, and the insignia of a military regiment.
Simplifications or Stylized Designs
You can also stylize non-flash, custom tattoos. This may include hearts, stylized flowers, leaves, and other images and characters.
Complex Structures or Combinations
Another popular tattoo type is complex structures like the traditional Japanese body suits or an amalgamation of images and characters which are not directly associated with each other.
