Micro Realism is a style of tattooing that has gained great popularity inside and outside the professional tattoo industry and this is because it gives the possibility of creating a small piece with a great amount of detail, technique, elegance and sophistication.
For that reason, Andrés Makishi, professional tattoo artist and resident of Inknation Studio will share the 3 techniques he uses to create tattoos with the Micro Realism style.
The first technique is to work the tattoo thinking that it’s a large and complete piece like any other tattoo.
Even if it’s a small tattoo, the level of detail, color and quality must be maintained because this will give it the impact that characterizes this style of tattoo.
On the other hand, knowing how to analyze the design and create a strategy to start tattooing is essential. What this will allow you isn’t only to work in order, but it will help you so that the colors and techniques you use don’t mix or lose the level of quality.
Finally, depending on the design you’re going to make, Makishi recommends starting by creating the lines and contours to later fill in and develop the complete composition. In this way, you will have more control of the piece and the tattoo will look more detailed and delicate.
With these 3 simple but powerful techniques you will be able to create a Micro Realism tattoo worthy of a professional.
