It is an artistic style that started with tribal tattoos.
Over time, the stark geometric shapes morphed into the blackout tattoos of today.
The blackout style of tattooing is taking a part of your body, such as your upper arm, leg, chest, back, truly anywhere you would like, and shading that area with completely black ink. There are as many ways to do this style of tattoo as there are reasons to do it.
If you have an older tattoo that has lost its meaning, run its course, or you are simply tired of it, a blackout tattoo might be the way to go.
Depending on how many colors were used in the original piece, this can probably be done. Some people also choose to cover up scars or congenital markings with this tattoo style. The right artist can guide you into the shape that is right for you.
Whatever you choose to do with blackout tattoos, know this: it is a mark of someone dedicated. To sit for hours while an opaque black is applied means a woman who will not be backing down anytime soon, hush up but thank you for asking.
It is someone who knows what it means to make the midnight run to anywhere and come back with fervor and fury, even if a little bit changed as a person.
