But neon tattoos have never been less popular since they hit the market.
Every design is so creative and can easily be customized to showcase your personality.
Nothing brings body art to life more than neon colors. You should give these tattoos a try because they are truly epic. The glowing effects will make the design appear like they have electricity passing through them. People have used neon lights as decorations and art pieces in their homes. It was about time someone tried it as body art.
It’s a great inspiration for future tattoos. The limit of the technique goes beyond a simple drawing. Some artists are yet to try neon designs; you are much better off with someone who has done similar artwork before. There are many ways to go about this. One way is using particular colors and inks associated with neon.
You can also pair grey and black designs with a contrast that will create the illusion you are looking for. You will come across unbelievable neon designs that can make your jaw drop. It’s the best type of tattoo for a bold woman who wants to make a statement.
You can even make the tattoo appear to buzz. The design ideas are endless; your body art will look like something out of a movie when you do it right. The neon effect can elevate any design, even the one you thought would never work on you. It’s the cherry on top of the cake that every tattoo needs.
Take a simple sketch, add the neon effect, and be wowed at the result. You can use any design from flowers, animals, people, or anything in between.
While modern LED lights and big screens have taken over the world of billboards and signs, I miss the days of vintage neon vibes. Nothing comes close to the bright, fascinating glow of historical neon signs.
For a dose of retro flair, look no further than these fun, well emphasized, and bold female neon designs. Instead of going with the traditional light up sign, i.e. custom words or shapes, most women are opting to add neon as a special element to their body art.
For example, instead of just inking red background hearts, you can give them a neon outer glow for a girly, heart-pounding punch. Next to UV ink tattoos, which glow in the dark, brightly colored neon inks are truly an awesome tattoo addition.
Below, you’ll find plenty of inspiration and beautiful ideas worth considering but before diving in, I have a few really cool things to tell you about the history of neon.
First, neon lighting is the wonderful invention of Georges Calude, who was a brilliant French engineer. Through trial and error, he would eventually discover how to pass electrical current through a sealed glass tube filled with neon gas.
However, before neon discharge tubes would light up the world we have to back a bit further to 1898, where William Ramsay and Morris W. Travers had discovered neon.
America didn’t get its first neon sign until 1923, but once it did the Packard Car Company was the first business to use them. Of course, back then neon wasn’t cheap, it cost the Packard Car Company over $12,000 to have these advertising staples installed.
Beyond the history, one fact is certain: Neon signs are bright, so bright that they can cut through the fog. For symbolism and meanings behind neon tattoos, they can act as a wonderful example of navigating life in times where you are uncertain of the future or what’s ahead of you.
