Microrealism tattoos are the perfect way to piece together a patchwork tattoo sleeve. You can treat them like little time capsules, displaying your interests and headspace at that specific moment. Once it’s all done, you can look back at your tattoos and memories will come flooding back. Since they’re so small, you don’t have to commit too hard to it because there will be tons of space left over.
That being said, microrealism comes with its own separate challenges compared to its bigger, large-scale tattoo counterparts. It’s impossible to recreate every minor detail in a space the size of a tangerine. As your microrealism tattoo artist, I have to figure out a way to capture the essence of the image while also making it readable and lasting over time. If we make it too simple, it’ll look half-assed. If we make it too detailed, everything will look muddy and indistinguishable. The balance is what makes this form of tattoo so unique. All of this will be discussed prior to the actual tattoo appointment so you know what to expect coming into it!
If you’re looking to get a microrealism tattoo near you, book a consultation with me and we can discuss the details! Or, if you’re looking for another tattoo style, I also specialize in fineline tattoos, black and grey realism tattoos, and more.
