Nicholas Solomon Shares the Top 5 Trending Tattoo Styles in 2021

One of the things fans await is what is the latest tattoo their favorite celebrity is flaunting. From Kylie Jenner’s tiny “m” tattoo on her pinky finger to Presley Gerber’s “misunderstood” tattoo just under his right eye, there is inspiration aplenty for those looking to get inked.

Here’s Nick ‘the Tailor’ Solomon, the famous tattoo artist, sharing the top five 2021 tattoo trends to consider. Let’s delve.

Kaleidoscopic tattoos

Nicholas, who has won numerous awards at conventions world wide for design and tattoo, says that multicolored tattoos boasting bold black lines are becoming a thing this year. People are taking to these which exude illustrative surrealism.

Coverups

A tattoo cover-up refers to concealing a previously unwanted tattoo with a fresh tattoo. It’s trending as a better, cost-effective alternative to laser removal to get rid of unwanted tattoos. The pandemic-triggered economic slump will only make coverups more desirable.

Going micro

Large tattoos that are easily visible have been in vogue for quite some time now. However, a new counter-trend is emerging — more and more people are getting inked with tiny designs.

Nicholas says that they are actually more subtle and can actually make onlookers more interested as they need to look closely.

Ear tattoos

Ear tattoos are also catching on right now. Nicholas says people’s fascination with them will increase further. He recommends ear tattoos for those who are not so keen on ear piercings.

One can also use it to complement her favorite jewelry. Whether one plans to wear the tattoo behind, inside or on the ear, they’re sure to turn heads.

Black and gray sway!

Last but not least, black and gray tattoos are a hit among many celebrities and young guns these days.

Nicholas says these tattoos get their dues for having a distinguished look boasting thin lines and loads of subtle gray shade in between.
