As the name suggests, these are realistic style tattoos, but on a smaller scale. The intention of this style is to capture in ink images loaded with great detail, capable of simulating a photograph. Performing this type of tattoo requires great skill, a lot of training and drawing technique.

Many artists today are inclined to this tattoo technique, but like any style, before getting a tattoo It is important to check the artist's references, to avoid unwanted results..

History

According to some historians, around 500 BC it is possible to find some trace of what would be the beginning of realism, where some artists sought recreate large figures in human formHowever, it was during the Renaissance in the mid-16th century that the realism movement gained more strength, where artists such as Michelangelo, Da Vinci, Titian, among others, created works that came close to reality in terms of facial features, perspective, and more.

With the arrival of the Camera Obscura in 1816, thanks to Nicéphore Niepcé, the first photograph was reproduced, taking a big step towards realism. In 1878, hand-held cameras arrived. With the advances in technology, cameras ceased to be an exclusive device for professionals and reached all homes, with interest in realist art fading away. It was in 1970 when photorealism gained popularity as part of pop evolution and where we can find the emergence of microrealist style techniques.

What you should always keep in mind before getting a tattoo

Microrealism in tattoos is a very interesting and artistic expression of elements that we can find in our environment, which makes these designs very attractive and eye-catching.

However, before getting the tattoo, it is very important that we evaluate the considerations detailed below:

Pain resistance Each person has a different pain threshold, just as each part of our body has a greater or lesser sensitivity. For this reason, we do not recommend that you get a very large tattoo if it is your first, since it is important that you first experience it and know your capacity for resistance. Remember that these elaborate tattoos require a lot of time and several sessions, which implies patience and not backing down throughout the process.

Security This section is linked to the choice of professional, since you must take into account that getting a tattoo is a process that involves a certain risk to your health. You must consider everything that your tattoo artist tells you, and the place where the work is done must be completely clean, thus reducing the risk of infection to a minimum.

Aftercare Remember that after each session you will have to carry out a series of precautions to ensure proper healing and avoid the risk of infection.

The designer Getting a tattoo is something you should think about carefully, especially if you are looking for tattoos of this quality, you are getting them with the idea that they will last a lifetime; therefore, we recommend that you dedicate all the time necessary to choose the perfect design that you will not regret in the future.

Area to tattoo You also need to choose the part of your body where you want to place the tattoo. This is a particular thing, as there are people who prefer to place them in less visible areas; while others prefer to share them as much as possible and opt for more visible areas.

Professional's choice As we have mentioned throughout the article, one of the most important features of realism in tattoos is the fact that it requires the help of a qualified and experienced professional. This will not only allow you to enjoy a more aesthetic and long-lasting tattoo, but you will also be able to enjoy other additional advantages with greater safety during the process, less pain and less discomfort.
