Exploring The Illustrative Tattoo Style: 7 Best Trends To Follow In 2023!  

Recently we spoke at length about the Chicano tattoo style, and we were blown with the designs we came across. Naturally, when we started digging deeper into the world of tattoos, we were happy to find out that the illustrative trend has still not gone out of fashion. It made sense last year – it still makes sense this year.

But what is illustrative tattoo style? Of course, this style has a lot to do with tattoos that look illustrated – the style is linked to the realistic trend. So without wasting any time, scroll down and check out the best illustrative tattoo trends that you should follow in 2023.

1. Black Ink Illustrative Tattoos

If you are looking for hand tattoos for men, then the black ink illustrative tattoo style is perfect for you! These look visually really cool – if you don’t believe us, then you must check out the images we have added in this context. And if you still aren’t convinced, then visit a tattoo parlor today and consult an expert.

These tattoos in black ink are trending – and if you are a sucker for trends, then it would be a shame to miss this one!

2. Botanical Illustrative Tattoos 

While checking out some really cool face tattoos, we realized that more and more people are loving the botanical illustrative style. The best part about this style? You can get them done anywhere. Yes, these are popular in the world of face tattoos. But that does not mean you can’t get this done on your arm or anywhere else for that matter.

So the next time you are wondering what’s more aesthetic than a floral tattoo, it’s your sign to get a botanical illustrative tattoo done.

3. Colorful Illustrative Tattoos

If you are looking for female classy half-sleeve tattoo design ideas, then you can definitely consider the illustrative tattoo style. But there’s a catch – you have to make it colorful! We are assuming you love the colors on your tattoo. So, if you were wondering which colorful tattoo style will work best for you, then this is the sign you need!

But if you do not love colors, especially on your body, then it’s best to skip this vibrant option. At the same time, if you already have several tattoos, then what’s the harm of getting at least one colorful one done somewhere ignorable on your body?

4. Small Illustrative Designs 

There are different tattoo styles that you can start out with, but if we did have to recommend a style, then it would be, hands down, the illustrative tattoo style. But, of course, you have to be a little strong in terms of resisting pain. But if you are bent on doing this in spite of the pain, then you can always start small.

This is where small illustrative designs walk in and save the day – these also look very cool, so we are totally digging these designs!

5. Black And Gray Illustrative Tattoos

If you love those tattoos in black ink, then how about mixing things up with shades of grey? Of course, we are not going to recommend fifty shades on your tattoo (but it’s fine for the bedroom). But if you want an illustrative tattoo in black, consider using the gray color as well – it’ll look really good, we promise!

There are different American tattoo styles that have grown popular over the years – we loved the realistic tattoo trend that was so cool last year. 2023 similarly, is all about illustrations!

6. Illustrative Skull Tattoo Art

Skull tattoos are really cool, and it doesn’t matter what you have to say about the same! First, you ought to get one skull tattoo done, and then we can talk in case you don’t agree with us. But we just mentioned if you already have several tattoos on your body, then one more won’t make a difference.

So, why not a nice gothic skull tattoo? It will look really chic, we promise!

7. Illustrative Dragon Tattoo Ideas

Have you seen those really cool Japanese dragon tattoos? Those tattoos were trending towards the end of 2022, but once the illustrative tattoo style started trending from the beginning of this year, tattoo artists started blending both concepts. And boom, that was how these illustrative dragon tattoos were born.

So, stop thinking so much and listen to your heart – if your heart’s saying ‘yes’ to a dragon tattoo, then you have to go for it!
