The idea of imitating a stone texture tattoo is not new. It is based on historical and cultural roots. The ancients traditionally gave the stone mythical and protective properties. They worshiped and worshiped abnormal minerals with powerful energy.
A tattoo depicting a stone has recently been in the focus of fashion for both the strong and the weaker sex. This new 21st century body painting trend deserves close attention. There is not even a hint of unisex in it: if men prefer to display sculptural elements of stone on their bodies, then women choose precious minerals that emphasize their beauty and grace.
Creation technique
It is not easy to display the texture of the mineral on the human body. Only a true master is capable of this. The complexity of reconstructing a stone tattoo lies in an extremely concise and accurate display of relief, texture, the play of light and shadows. Even masters create such a tattoo in more than one session. Let's try to explain why.
As a rule, a tattoo specialist does not have the possibility of simultaneously embodying all his ideas. After all, the “canvas” for creating masterpieces is alive. How it will fill with paint or convey color is always a mystery. Therefore, a common big task by a conscientious master is always divided into a number of smaller ones.
First, in agreement with the client, an imitation stone tattoo is selected. Image sketch required. It is on it that the master determines the most expressive relief and selects the ideal lighting option for him. More recently, a similar task seemed impossible. However, the revolution of design programs and tattoo ink brought this art to a new stage of development. Now, on a human body with supernatural naturalism, one can depict stone inscriptions, and collapsing walls, and pyramids that strike with realism.
Calling off a few popular tattoos, it is worth mentioning the expressive stone Celtic crosses, decorated with a characteristic harmonious pattern. Among men whose zodiac sign is Scorpio, “stone” tattoos in the form of a crumbling granite slab and a scorpion crawling on it are popular. Also in demand are images of tribal charms that express philosophical consonance with nature and the course of life. Practicing stone stylization of their tattoo symbols and yoga practitioners.
Men's tattoos
The stronger sex chooses stone-reflecting tattoos as a symbol of strength, gaining stability in life. It is characteristic that the stone symbolizes faith. According to this tradition, since ancient times, the cornerstone mineral has been placed at the base of temples. It is no secret that the stone is a symbol of the Apostle Peter, the zealous guardian of the foundations of the teachings of Jesus.
If we consider the stone tattoo from the practical side, then we can say that it corresponds to a certain type of men. The muscular torso is harmoniously combined with it, creating a single stylish type of person decisive, integral, true to this word. Imitation stone tattoo is not suitable for people who are soft, physically weak.
Those marked by him should at least be distinguished by self-esteem, courage, and the ability to start and finish an important business. Such a person, in his own words and deeds giving hope to others, was portrayed by Tolkien in the image of King Aragorn.
Women's tattoos
As already mentioned, women prefer more elegant tattoos. The gems depicted on them are chosen by the fair sex for a reason. It is believed that a diamond attracts wealth, but few people know that it protects against evil and disease. The fair sex in tattoo art (and not only in it) turned out to be more immersed than men. The point is that expensive branded paints used to display diamond contain natural mineral dust. Thus, such a tattoo can no longer be called just a symbol, it acquires the energy of the stone itself.
The situation is similar with special paints for embodying other valuable crystals on the body. Of course, women depict on the body not only a noble diamond. Indeed, different minerals correspond to different characters. Carnelian symbolizes great love, and sapphire represents inner purity and fidelity.
Conclusion
Stones emphasizing the importance of tattooing have become a new trend in body painting. After all, only one transition in tattoos on 3D is worth what. In itself, this is a new stage in the development of this art. But in the case of the image of the stone texture, the master is not limited to three-dimensionality, he shows the play of light and shadows, puts special meaning in the picture. Customers see in such a tattoo not only the aesthetics of the style, but also the inner fullness. According to the beliefs of the carriers, a tattoo with a stone not only decorates, but also stores.
