Realism Tattoos
The realism art movement of the mid-19th century is what gave birth to realism tattoos. Realism came to be as a result of people’s desire to create images that look similar to a photograph or a real-life 3D object. A realism tattoo looks so lifelike that the image often appears to be jumping right off the flesh.
Realism tattoos have opened the door to a vast playground for tattoo collectors around the world. The nature of realism tattoos has made it possible to represent different designs, styles and concepts within the same genre. As long as something can be seen with the naked eye, the artist can recreate a masterpiece from it.
Getting a realism tattoo done requires a lot of patience and an exceptional level of talent from the tattoo artist for them to achieve the precise layering and level of detail required to produce an outstanding piece.
