But now that things are reopening and people are going out again, they’re starting to get new body art and we’re seeing some trends emerging just in time for Summer 2021. Instead of color, which we’re used to seeing, we’re getting lots of black and attention to detail. Check out these three trends before you head out for your next tattoo.
Blackwork Tattoos
Blackwork tattoos like the name implies, use black ink that drawn in bold patterns and takes up lots of negative space. The beauty of these tattoos is they wear well over time and they pack statement.
Fine Line Tattoos
Fine line tattoos are nothing new, but they’ve become more popular once celebrities started getting them. They feature straight or curved thin lines that are detailed without color, shade, or 3D objects.
(@lexxibergger)Gray Shading Tattoos
Black and gray shading tattoos can be simple or complex, but what they have in common is they’re all about shading. The shading makes for a 3D effect that really jumps off the skin.

As we move forward, this creative spirit isn’t going anywhere, especially when it comes to permeant artistic additions to our bodiesātattoo art, that is. According to tattoo artists, 2021 has hit new levels of ingenuity.
And while tattoos will probably never go out of style, you should keep your eyes peeled for recent trends. According to experts, gothic, esoteric tattoos are making a comeback, with a focus on intricate linework. These tattoos mostly feature natural themes in an engraving style, reminding of vintage botanical illustrations, stylized in a more gothic style.
Katy Wiedemannās tattoos are a good example of this growing trend. Based on vintage scientific illustrations, Wiedemann draws inspiration from anatomical museums. Which makes sense, judging by her creative upbringing.
A graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design with a BFA in Illustration, on top of an MA in Illustration from Edinburgh College of Art, Wiedemann actually worked as a scientific illustratorāa skill that would come in handy when transitioning into tattoo art in 2018.
āIn both fields I am working with a client who wants something very specific, and I need to be able to take their ideas and improve on them in a way that both fulfills their requirements and my own artistic vision,ā Wiedemann told Female Tattooers. āUsually, the most difficult part of my job in both fields is frequently being asked to draw something that has been done countless times over and try to make it unique.ā
With tens of thousands of followers on Instagram, people are clearly taking note of her unique artwork. But worry not – you don’t have to be a goth-kid to enjoy her impressive collection of insect illustrations, skeletons, and snakes. Scroll to see some recent work:

Not only were beauty salons closed, but tattoo parlors were also shut down and many artists have been out of work for months. Most tattoo parlors have reopened, but the experience of getting a tattoo will look different from how it was in the past. Here’s what getting a tattoo will look like now and after the pandemic ends.
Cleanliness and Sanitization
Tattoo shops have always taken extreme measures to ensure the sanitization of the clients and artists, so not much is going to change in this aspect. In order to open back up, many artists had to go through online training for how COVID is transmitted, in addition to the yearly certification they already have to get.
Guidelines to Be Set By Salon Owners
In general, studio owners will have to create their own pandemic-era guidelines for employees and customers. There are some regulations put in place by the state health departments which include wearing masks, fewer people in the shops at a time, and taking temperatures.
(@whosmattwall)No More Walk-Ins
Many tattoo parlors won’t be offering walk-ins anymore, but they’ll still have call-ins, which allows people to call on the same day and see if there is availability. Not having walk-ins prevents people who are thinking about getting a tattoo, but leaving without one.
Increase in Minimums or Change the Tattoos They Offer
Some artists will start charging a minimum because they don’t want to put their lives at risk for such a small amount of money. Artists who usually did walk-ins are booking people for longer period of time and creating larger tattoos.
CapuArtists Opening Private Studios
We’ll see an increase in artists opening private studios because either they want more control of the environment they’re working in or their shops have closed during the pandemic.

Face tattoos aren’t a new thing, as Mike Tyson was the first celebrity to be known for his face tattoo, which he’s had for over two decades! We’re also used to seeing rappers like Post Malone, Lil Xan, Lil Wayne, and The Game with tattoos, but models, actresses, and singers have been getting face tattoos recently.

Aaron Carter
Carter’s Greek mythology tattoo across the side of his face is an image of the monster Medusa. He also has a cheek tattoo that says “Love.”

Just like tattoos, which are forever, so is Rose’s love for her sons. Rose tattooed “Slash” and “Bash” for her sons Sebastian and Bash.

In her most recent post, it appears that Bynes may have gotten another heart tattoo (this one’s filled in) above her right eyebrow.

But these embroidery tattoos are so adorable that they deserve some recognition. Weāre not surprised people are choosing these designs to be on their bodies for as long as they live, because they really look stunning.
