The Trend of Metallic Tattoos is at Flow Now

Tattoos in Gold

Isn’t it cool to have tattoos of gold, silver, platinum or any metallic tattoos done on your body? This is a new trend in the world of tattoos. There are chances that the skeptics may think it to be some kind of health hazard to inject metal into the body entering the blood stream. There are no tattoos including coloring with gold or other metals in classical sense.

A good tattoo artist rather uses color make metallic tattoos without using golden or silver ink if you want a design to have a metallic look. Still such colors are toxic for the body. These colors are not the material that you would like to have lodging inside your skin. The other kind of tattoos is the foil tattoos. These are not harmful as these are not injected into the surface of the skin. Rather they involve the application of gold or platinum foil to the skin surface with a latest technology.

Tattoo size and placement

This is an important factor to consider before having tattoo designed on body. Even though full sleeve tattoos begin at the shoulders and end at the wrist still you can decide the length of it. Options like full arm, half sleeve or quarter sleeves are also available. The scale should also be considered with the overall look of the tattoo in mind. You can begin with few tattoos and if you find them suitable then you can piece them together making it a full sleeve tattoo.

The tattoo colors

The colorful tattoos pop up more than the black and grey. You don’t have any problem with the popping look of the colorful tattoos then you can go with those vibrant color tattoos as per your wish. If you have a heavy personality then your preferences should be black, grey or metallic tattoos.  

Tattoo Peeling

You may not know much about tattoo care when you get your first tattoo may it be a normal or some metallic tattoos. Healthy healing process of your tattoo is peeling. After it is first completed, it is normal for your tattoo to peel slightly. After 1 week of ink application a typical tattoo will start to peel around. It will depend on how your body heals, whether you heal fast or slow but it is a general guideline.

Modest Girls Choose to Place Their Tattoos Here

Lower Back Tattoo:

These are popular with women and tattoos are located on the lower back.  They are usually for those who wear bikini or low rise jeans.  As with all tattoos, there are pros and cons with this location.  For one, the lower back designs all pretty much look the same.  There is little originality.  It can be more unique if you add some other elements on either side of the tattoo to the right or left of the spine.  In general, if the tattoo is applied closer to the bone, then it will be more painful.  The more fat/muscle there is, the less painful.

Wrists:

For a modest tattoo the popular location is inside of the wrist.  This can be covered with temporary metallic tattoos, if you so choose. It could be either a butterfly or a tribal type tattoo.  It may be a bit painful as this is another place on the body that is close to the bone. You should keep in mind that this tattoo will be more difficult to conceal.

Ankle:

Being lower on the body and not noticed by many people it is a small tattoo less noticeable than other areas.  To make it more visible you can have tattoo on the outer ankle or front of the ankle. Irritation should not be a problem, if you prefer sandal without hosiery.   Just like the tattoos located on the wrist, for the ankle area tribal or insect themes are a popular choice. Apart from this just like the wrist tattoo these can be more painful due to the closeness to the bone. 

Back of the Neck:

For modest girls this is a great tattoo location. Having long hair, you can’t expose these tattoos as this tattoo will not be seen unless you wear your hair up.  A tattoo in this location is usually small and may be either a flower, insect like a butterfly, or a symbol.  You can have some temporary metallic tattoos like a chain or anything done at this area. Pain will be greater at application as this location is closer to the bone. Still, healing should not be a problem as this area does not usually come in contact with clothing.

If you are concerned about what people will think, don’t forget that there are modest places to conceal your tattoo where only you and those you chose to know, will know. You will be glad to do your research on tattoo designs before walking through the tattoo parlor doors.
