What is realism in tattoos?
In order to understand realism in tattoos, it is important to start by understanding what exactly the concept of realism is.
Realism is understood as an artistic movement that was born in the 19th century and whose objective was to counteract romanticism, which was the dominant movement at that time.
In this way, many artists decided to opt for this alternative that was based on representing as faithfully as possible any element related to the daily situations that a person may experience.
That is, the objective was to give priority to objective reality instead of idealizing it, trying to capture every detail with the greatest possible accuracy.
Realism spread to the different arts in which it was possible to use it, such as painting, sculpture and of course also literature, which sought to fill its books with credible characters and situations.
This is how realism became a highly appreciated alternative, and in fact, it is evident that it requires a great hand and artistic ability, since the level of difficulty is very high.
Realism in tattoos is basically transferring this approach to the skin, adding to a new artistic modality that is increasingly present in our daily lives.

What elements are most characteristic when creating a realistic tattoo?
It must be taken into account that realism in tattooing requires great skill on the part of the tattoo artist, who must work very precisely on all the textures and colours to the point of making the tattoo look like a photograph on the skin.
In this sense, the tattoo artist must have a great ability to adapt precisely to the anatomy of the body, and must play appropriately with lights and shadows to convey a real image in the most realistic way possible.
We are going to analyze some of the most characteristic and important elements that the professional must take into account when making a realistic tattoo:
PRECISION
SHAPES
PERSPECTIVE
PROPORTIONS
LIGHTS AND SHADOWS
COLOR
TRANSITION

What you should always keep in mind before getting a realistic tattoo
Realism 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:
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.
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.
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.
Getting a tattoo is something you should think carefully about, especially if you're looking for tattoos of this quality. You're planning on getting them for a lifetime. That's why we recommend taking the time to choose the perfect design, one you won't regret in the future.
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.
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.
