Are Portrait Tattoos Worth the Money?

 

Tattoos may have become popular in the last century or so with many celebrities publicly flaunting their designs. But, the trend of tattoos dates back to 300BC with evidence showing up in mummified bodies as well. One of the most popular trends in tattooing has always been portrait tattoos. We can trace them back to 500BC itself.

So, what is a portrait tattoo?

Portrait tattoos are a type of realism tattoos where one gets the face of a loved one, icon, or a favorite character inked on their skin. This kind of tattoo needs skill with very few artists who do portrait tattoos. Portrait tattoos need skill, patience, and flair of art to depict the subject they are inking on your skin. As most arts go, Portrait tattoos are also quite expensive.

So, should you get a portrait tattoo? Let us take a look.

Why are Portrait tattoos so expensive and popular as much as they are:

Freeze a memory

Much like photographs can capture a moment forever, portrait tattoos can immortalize your memories. People prefer to get pictures of their babies, wedding moments, grandparents, and important events inked to keep them close forever. Photographs may fade, get misplaced, or destroyed but these portrait tattoos will remain with you always. Not just freeze a moment for you, these memories will also increase their value by becoming a tattoo. Your attachment to that memory will only grow stronger after having it tattooed on your body. It is also a great way to wear your fondest memory literally up to your sleeve for the world to see.

Exclusiveness

Finding the right tattoo artist itself is a really hard process. To find someone with the right skill, work ethic, and in your budget is a holy triangle not everyone completes. In such a case, portrait tattoo artists are the rarest in this breed of artists. It takes exceptional skill, training, and experience to etch a face, memory onto someone’s skin. So it is not a rare tattoo that everyone will possess. You will become a part of a very small exclusive group.

If you are a tattoo collector and an appreciator of this art, having even a small tattoo would be a treasured experience. Just not that, the design you will have will be unique, and unmatched to none. Getting a portrait tattoo done is like finding an exclusive treasure.

Work of Art

Like we discussed before, a portrait tattoo is a work of art. Portrait tattoo art is much more complicated than any template tattoo or line design. It has textures, expressions, moods, and shadows to be captured. Anyone who has ever seen a portrait tattoo would agree that it is not just a mere tattoo, it is a designer modern art. For anyone who appreciates art and skill that goes behind it, portrait tattoos will be a very exciting avenue to explore. When you get a portrait tattoo done, you will end up owning an exclusive work of art.

Express Affection

Tattoos have always been personal. People use it to express themselves, their likes, and create an identity for themselves in this world. Portrait tattoos take that form of expression to the next level. Having someone’s face inked on you is easily the most intimate way of expressing your affection. To strengthen your bond, these tattoos proudly proclaim your affection for your loved ones beautifully. This could be for your parents, friends, partner, pets, and anyone you wish to have a close tie to. It could be for your work as well. Dancers get their dancing postures inked on them and some artists get their muses inked on them. Whatever the cause be, you cannot deny that getting a portrait tattoo has turned into a strong display of affection today. 

Celebrate Fandom

You read that portrait tattoos are a work of art, express your affection, and help you freeze a memory forever. A concise example of this is pop culture’s love for portrait tattoos. Fan boys and fan girls of comics, movies, sports, and even games continue to be a strong consumer of this form of a tattoo. Portrait tattoos of favorite characters, creators, and even scenes dominate this field. Fandom generally prefers to wear their love for a particular thing/person loudly and what better way than a portrait tattoo. If you want to immortalize your favorite character, portrait tattoos are the way to go.

Note

A few things to keep in mind while opting for a portrait tattoo would be:

●     the appropriateness of the tattoo in years to come - Choose an immortal image that will age well with time.

●     Quality of the reference image - Remember the best tattoo artist is going to base your tattoo on this, so better the quality, better the outcome.

●     Artist’s expertise level - Portrait artists need skill and a lot of experience. Check the artist’s portfolio before finalizing it.

●     Artist's location - Choose a local artist as portrait tattoos need checking up after completion and sometimes little touch-ups too.

Concluding…

Looking at the reasons why one should get a portrait tattoo, it is clear that it is one of the best ways to celebrate your love for tattoos and your loved ones. However, they can be quite expensive and time-consuming to get. Sometimes, you will have to spend a fortune and devote at least 10 hours of your time. You have to ask yourself why you want to get a tattoo and specifically why a portrait tattoo. If your reasons are the ones we mentioned above, then go ahead. Trust us, it is going to be an experience you will cherish forever.
