Protest against boredom

When bored with calculation and rationalism, the mood leans toward whimsical, fantasy creative solutions. This applies to any sphere of creativity, and if we talk about tattoos, here many people often choose a drawing that fully reflects the whole gamut of fantasies and freedom of self-expression. This is baroque - a style that has found its reflection in a variety of art forms. More and more often, baroque designs can be seen on the hands and other parts of the body of young men and women who love high-quality patterned images. What can they mean?

Let's look at the history of the baroque style to see who it suits in tattooing. The word itself is Italian and means "whimsy," "excesses." This trend emerged in the XVI-XVII centuries as a challenge to the austerity of classicism, cold and precise geometric solutions in architecture and painting.

Art objects, furniture, decorations, buildings and paintings - all this in the Baroque era was enriched with stucco, luxurious elements, ornamental motifs. The richness of the decor, exciting the soul and imagination, the abundance of details, the bright gamut pleased the eye, evoked a desire to touch the beauty. Baroque is characterized by dynamics, richness of composition, it is a union of reality and fiction. As if the artists wanted to embellish the natural features of nature and add unimaginable fantastic beauty to the surrounding life.

Baroque and Tattoo

In the tattoo art also Baroque found its embodiment. And here, as nowhere, all its features are relevant: luxury, richness of design, variety of patterns and ornaments. Even oversaturation, but it does not spoil the result - at least in something there should be kinks? And often it reflects some features of the character, mood and nature of the person.

Characteristic differences of tattoos in the spirit of baroque:

• Luxury and richness on the verge of the foul;
• rich patterns, lots of details;
• complex, ornate ornamental images;
• The brightness of the color palette;
• It is often an imitation of lace (on the neck, wrist, ankle);
• fantasy mixed with realism.

There is often the impression that a beautiful lady from the Renaissance has come into the modern world, where only this lace on her skin reminds of a past era. And this beautiful and mystical connection of times so delights many that the salons will never run out of demand for baroque sketches.

Varieties of tattoo designs

What can a Baroque fan depict on his body? You can always order an abstract pattern, but many people prefer quite specific images - animal or plant world, plot solutions. Differences only in the richness and saturation of the design.

The most popular are the following pictures:

• butterflies of all kinds;
• birds;
• dragonflies, cicadas and other insects;
• Flowers, in general, all the richness of the flora will be relevant here - roses, vines, ivy, lilies, water lilies or lilies of the valley, the imagination is not limited;
• animals, especially heraldic ones: deer, peacocks, martens, ermines, snakes, foxes and unicorns.

An original solution even for Baroque: to stuff a copy of a tapestry or an ancient engraving with mythical bestiary. Dragons, basilisks, mermaids, unicorns all look unusual and fabulous. The only question is what meaning this drawing carries for the owner.

The character of the owner

In general, we can say that the idea of baroque in tattoos can attract a variety of people in character and temperament. But they also have some common traits:

• versatility of interests;
• emotionality, a rich life of feelings;
• a tendency to fantasy, dreaminess;
• creative flair, the ability to implement and express their ideas;
• an easy disregard for rules and strict requirements (and sometimes not easy!)
• fidelity in friendship and love, but excessive emotionality can often make them windy, infatuated;
• amorousness, passion;
• the ability to enjoy life.

You can see the most different ideas in the gallery of completed works. The master in the salon will advise on the peculiarities of such an order and skillfully implement any idea. The peculiarity of a baroque picture is its multilayered and brightness; you will certainly need to apply the contour and coloring more than once. But the result is worth it!
