2022 called for '90s style tattoos' such as armbands and tribal prints

Trending Tattoo Designs for 2022

If you've decided that 2022 is the year to get a tattoo, there are plenty of exciting trends. It's entirely up to you whether you prefer the look of abstract designs or the '90s butterfly aesthetic'. Alternatively, you might want to acquire both and then return for more. While the tattoo trends of 2021 mainly were modest flower and astrology-inspired ink, many of the tattoo trends of 2022 are a little more extravagant.

2022 called for '90s style' tattoos like armbands and tribal tattoos. However, many tattoo artists witnessed an avalanche of butterfly tattoos in all shapes and sizes. It seems butterfly tattoos will resurface with a fury this year because of their ageless design and symbolism.

Colourful

Colourful tattoos are making a comeback, which is a stark contrast to the black and grey tattoos that have reigned in previous years. This trend is more prevalent now than in the past, as clients realise that colour tattoos can be brilliant and bold and stay that way for years with proper maintenance.

Micro Realism

Micro realism tattoos achieve the photorealistic technique in tattooing while covering a tiny portion of the skin. It's hot because it's following the acceptable line tattoo trend popular for a few years. While micro-realism tattoos are a miniature work of art, it is one thing customers want the most. Recently, many clients have been asking for a bit of photo of their family or pets, and it can be viewed as a piece of jewellery, just like small fine line tattoos, because of how small it is, especially in specific positions.

Minimalist

While people are becoming more comfortable with larger tattoos, keep in mind that more subtle minimalist tattoos aren't going away. There are many requests for small minimalistic tattoos. Sometimes it's just an outline or some shading. These tattoos are simple to conceal, delicate, and perfect for folks who don't want to commit to a significant design. If you genuinely wish for some ink but don't want to sit in a chair for hours, these are a good option.

Spiritual

Spiritual tattoos, including mandalas, hamsas, and lotus motifs, are also popular in 2022. Many people link with them because they are intimately related to healing, balance, growth, rebirth, and beneficial energies. They're frequently done in the dotwork style, a detailed tattoo that uses many dots to make the design. While the process is time-consuming, the end effect is spectacular.

Lightning Tattoos

This is a tattoo trend we didn't see coming. Nevertheless, it's here, and we expect that it will only continue to flourish in 2022. Be prepared to see more black lightning tattoos that put a modern spin on the traditional lightning bolt we've become accustomed to seeing.

Dotwork

Keep an eye out for a range of Dotwork techniques. You can construct any aspect - animal, florals, etc. This tattoo style has been around for a long time, but I've seen it growing in popularity as more people watch others get it done. The issue in the past was delicate details leaking together, but this may be avoided with the appropriate artist.
