Pop culture

Some movie characters stick with us for a long time when the film ends. We hear some songs all the time in our daily lives. Then there are those times when just one icon is all a fellow fan needs to see to understand exactly what you mean. Pop culture tattoos allow you to literally get a small part of your favorite things in a tattoo.

Inkbolt incorporates the fan spirit in semi-permanent tattoos, allowing you to test out a tattoo design before committing permanently.

What Qualifies as a Pop Culture Tattoo?

There is so much in pop culture we relate to. This includes movies, music, TV, sports, comics, gaming, and the internet culture.

You may go for a recognizable icon, character-inspired tattoo, a tattoo inspired by lyrics, a famous object, or a minimal reference that only a fellow fan understands.

Pick a Design That Will Still Feel Like You

They come fast, but your favorite character or artist might stick around for years to come. While getting the ink, just ask yourself one simple question – would I still like this design if the trend went away tomorrow?

If yes, get the tattoo.

In case you want to go for something subtle, you should consider going for smaller symbols or minimalist references. In case you'd like the tattoo to make a statement, then going for a character or artwork inspired tattoo might work better.

A Subtle Nod or Full Fanaticism?

There is no right or wrong way to express your fandom.

The small icon on your wrist or ankle is a way to keep things subtle and show your love to the fandom in a less obvious way. The bigger design that you can put on your forearm or upper arm is giving the tattoo space and attention.

But you can always blend the pop culture design with the rest of your style.

Why Try a Semi-Permanent Tattoo First?

A fandom is something that feels like it will last forever, but your favorite design might change.

Semi Permanent tattoos provide the opportunity to try out the design, placement, and size before deciding to commit to a real tattoo. The Inkbolt designs can last anywhere from 10-14 days, based on various factors such as skin type, location of placement, friction, baths, and care afterward.

This makes semi-permanent tattoos ideal for concerts, movie launches, fan events, parties, holidays, or just changing looks for a few days.

Placement is Important

Placement is very important and more important than what most first-time tattoo buyers think.

Wrist/Forearm is great for any designs which need to be displayed easily, while ankle is better for smaller references and shoulder and upper arm are great for bigger pieces of detailed art.

Consider the way you would wear clothes to the event you're going to.

Wear What You Love

The ideal pop culture tattoo does not have to spell out its meaning in a hundred words. It can be a private joke, a nod to your favorite artist, or just a cool design you like.

Using Inkbolt, you will be able to try out semi-permanent pop culture tattoos based on the culture you love, design them, and try them out without having to decide whether to go for a permanent tattoo.
