Biomechanics is a relatively young and very popular tattoo style. Especially loved by fans of science fiction books and films. It is believed that the film “Alien” plays a significant role in its appearance. But the style gained its greatest popularity after the release of the film “Terminator”.

Why is this style so popular?

This style can emphasize endurance, strength and muscle definition in guys. But even on a fragile female body, biomechanics look very unusual. The popularity of the style is also due to the large scope for creativity. If you have a good master, it is easy to create a realistic and unique sketch, the bearer of which will be only you.

Biomechanics depicts various steel mechanisms that can be seen from under the skin. This technique is very complex and is performed only by professional craftsmen. This style is characterized by the use of gears, nuts, steel prostheses, various cogs, metal ligaments and bones in the drawings.

Popular elements in biomechanics sketches

The most popular option for performing work in the biomechanical style is to recreate the appearance of a “steel skeleton”. Various gears and other mechanisms can be used to create a robotic appearance. Or it looks like a steel frame of bones, from which tendons and vein wires emerge. The second popular option is the image of mechanical organs. For example, an iron heart or lungs.

Men prefer realistic depictions of mechanisms, while girls most often choose biomechanics combined with gothic or steampunk styles. Also, one of the frequent options for work is robotic animals. For example, steel crows, wolves, tigers and foxes.

Popular places for tattoos

Biomechanical tattoos look best on voluminous parts of the body.

• Sleeve. The tattoo in this area can be made larger and more detailed. Most often, complex mechanisms are stuffed in, which play the role of a steel arm frame.
• Shoulder. Due to the structure of the muscles, additional volume is created, which helps the tattoo look even more realistic.
• Breast. The most common sketch is a steel heart, from which various wires emerge, playing the role of vessels. It looks very unusual. Sometimes this pattern turns into a stylish and complex sleeve.
• Hand. Due to the constant movement of the muscles, there is a feeling of a working mechanism. That's why it's a favorite place for guys to get biomechanical tattoos.
• Brush. The drawing looks dynamic and becomes realistic.

Who is a biomechanics tattoo suitable for?

Biomechanical tattoos are most suitable for men due to their body structure and muscle definition. But this style is also quite relevant for women. On a fragile body, tattoos with mechanisms look sophisticated and elegant. The main thing is that the master can convey all the realism of the style by correctly working with colors and shadows.
