Different Biomechanical Tattoo Styles

While there are many different styles of biomechanical tattoos, some of the most common include

Realistic
This style of tattoo aims to be as realistic as possible. Adopting incredible attention to detail in replicating machinery and human anatomy, tattoo artists use intricate shading, textures and depth to bring the tattoo to life.  Some popular designs include biomechanical skull tattoos, biomechanical calf tattoos and biomechanical arm tattoos.
Abstract
Unlike realistic biomechanical tattoos, this style takes a more abstract and artistic approach.  When creating abstract biomechanical tattoo designs, tattoo artists steer away from strict adherence to realistic anatomy and focus more on the aesthetics of the mechanical shapes, patterns and lines. 
Neo-traditional
By combining the bright colours, bold lines and artistic imagery of neo-traditional tattoos with futuristic components, tattoo artists achieve a vintage design with a cybernetic twist.  If you love classic and contemporary tattoo styles, the neo-traditional biomechanical style is the best choice for you.
Bio-organic
Combining organic and mechanical elements, this style of biomechanical tattoo achieves an alien-like appearance.

Get Inspiration

If you’re unsure exactly what type of biomechanical tattoo you want, start researching!  The internet has a plethora of images of biomechanical tattoos that you can get inspiration from. You can even take pictures of a range of tattoos you like and ask your tattoo artist to create a design with elements you want from each. 

Colours

Due to the features that make this style of tattoo great, keeping the design simple when it comes to colours is essential.  Most biomechanical tattoos are black and white, making a powerful impact. However, some colours can be used to emphasise certain design features.  So, if you are considering getting a biomechanical tattoo, remember that a black and white design will be more impactful than one filled with bright colours.

Placement

When it comes to biomechanical tattoos, more is more. Because of the amount of detail in these types of tattoos, they usually end up being larger than some other styles. So, you will need to decide the best place on your body to capture the detail.  Due to the size of most biomechanical tattoos, the best areas to get tattooed include the arms, legs, back and chest.  If you aren’t sure where you want your tattoo, discuss it with your tattoo artist. They are experts and will provide the best advice on where to place it based on the design and impact you want it to have.
