It’s interesting that overtime, as tattoos have entered mainstream culture, that we can see patterns of designs, styles, and locations that essentially make them trendy. How have tattoo trends changes over the ages, and is it a bad thing to have a trendy tattoo?

What comes to mind when you think of a tattoo? It used to be detailed sleeves, big colourful pieces that cover a large area, or designs of a rebellious nature. But nowadays, tattoos bring to mind a variety of designs and styles beyond these old stereotypes. One style that perhaps is the best reflection on changing societal opinions on tattoos is the fine-line style. Sleek and elegant, these designs can be simple or detailed, colourful or monochrome, big or small.
