About Biomechanical
The Biomechanical tattoo is a defining voice in the surreal family — a style with a look all its own, instantly recognisable the moment the needle hits skin. It is most often worn on the leg, where its lines and shading have the room to breathe and the design reads cleanly from across a room. Considered advanced to execute, a great Biomechanical piece rewards the patience of an artist who lives and breathes the craft. With a 4.5/5 rating and 18,701 saves in the Ink Gallery, it remains one of the most requested looks in the studio.
