This style is becoming more and more popular among those who seek originality and want to escape mainstream styles. It uses a popular technique of contrasting black ink with empty space on the skin, which is known as the negative space tattoo style.

This technique is not new, as someone might think. It consists of tattooing the black areas of the skin, leaving empty spaces to create a whole image. Tattooists have been using it for a long time, but it has only gained fame in the last few years through social networks.

However, if you have previous experience with tattoos, this style offers a unique and ideal option for self-expression. If it is your first time getting a tattoo and you have a low pain tolerance, we advise against getting a negative space tattoo. The negative space technique demands both the client and the tattoo artist to invest a considerable amount of time and patience. The artist needs to repeatedly use the needle in the same spot to achieve a bold and deep black shade. The negative space tattoo requires more ink and time compared to a traditional design. Nonetheless, it can be a rewarding choice for those who are willing to commit.
