Screen Shot 2018 03 27 at 12.40.40 PMFashion is cyclical and trends repeat each new season. However, a stylish look isn’t only about clothes, it is also about the hairstyle, body modification, but what’s more important, it is about self-confidence. Tattoo lovers and tattoo addicts want to keep abreast of new trends. Thus, if you belong to this caste, keep reading. Top Tattoo Trends In 2018 Tattoo fashion is spread all over the world and it is one of the sought-after ways to express the attitude towards life, values, and memorize certain events in life. Here are five tattoo trends that are on the rise in 2018.  

  • New School Tattoos
  Screen Shot 2018 03 27 at 12.43.46 PMThis tattoo style became popular in the 1970s and this year, many tattoo lovers come back to this great style. The major feature of a new school tattoo style is that traditional pictures get a new, modern, and sometimes surreal look. These tattoos are usually colorful and the colors are versatile. Also, these tattoos are known for the large strokes and graffiti-like shading. The most popular symbols are cartoon heroes, fantastic creatures, famous people, and zombies. These tattoos are bold, eye-catching and due to a combination of elements, they can render different meanings. Many celebrities such as Ruby Rose, Alexia Rodriguez, Amber Rose, Megan Massacre choose new school tattoos as the body adornment.  
  • Neo-Traditional Tattoos
  Screen Shot 2018 03 27 at 12.43.51 PMIf you like an old school tattoo style but want to have something different and exceptional, then consider a neo-traditional style. Neo-traditional is a reinterpretation of old school (traditional) with brighter colors, more 3D shading and the natural evolving implied by more modern equipments. In fact, the old school style is merged with new and appealing elements. If you want to get a retro look with some bold details, then consider anchors, people, animals, roses, hearts, mermaids, sugar skulls, tigers, and sailors inked on your skin. Also, Aztec tattoo designs refer to ancient and traditional tattoo art. You can have a black and white Aztec tattoo and add some brighter colors to it. Ruby Rose, Carah Faye Charnow, Amber Rose, Megan Massacre are the fans of this tattoo style.  
  • Geometric Tattoos
  Screen Shot 2018 03 27 at 12.43.55 PMAlongside these bright and bold looks of New School tattoos and Neo-Traditional tattoos we have got a completely different tattoo trend that has nothing to do with colors and bold styles. This tattoo style is about clear lines and the absence of the abundance of unnecessary details. In fact, each geometric tattoo can become unique because the combination of lines and figures in your tattoo may stand for a balance, perfection, and harmony. Some people can claim that geometric shapes don’t carry any symbolism but that’s not true. There are symbolic meanings behind plain geometric shapes. They are:
  • A circle doesn’t have either the beginning or the end, thus, it means unity and infinity. Also, it symbolizes protection from evil and envy.
  • An Ouroboros also has a circular shape and it signifies eternity, regeneration. It is depicted as a creature feeding its tail, so it can signify a union of opposites.
  • Spirals are one of the oldest geometric shapes. They indicate rebirth, growth, consciousness, and enlightenment.
  • Triangles mean unity, balance, and harmony. In terms of Christianity, this figure represents a trinity – Father, Son and Holy Ghost united in a single Godhead. Also, the orientation of the triangle is important. Thus, a point-up triangle is associated with fire and male energy, whereas a point-down triangle represents water and female energy.
  • The square is used as the symbol of a material world. It may embody four seasons, physical elements.
  • A pentagram has been used by many cultures as a symbol of universal balance.
Such celebrities as Rumer Willis, Jessica Szohr, Julia Michaels, Paris Jackson, Ellie Goulding choose geometric tattoos.  
  • Lettering Tattoos
  Screen Shot 2018 03 27 at 12.43.59 PMLettering tattoos may be permanent or temporal but they are always a classy piece of tattoo that speaks about your personality. At first sight, this tattoo style seems plain and dull but in fact, it can be very symbolic. You can merge this tattoo with any design that suits your taste and place it on any part of the body. This is a personalized tattoo that may serve as a memorial tattoo, the tattoo, which aims to display your favorite sayings, highlight important names and dates and honor important celebrations and personal anniversaries. Truly, the possibilities are endless when it comes to a lettering tattoo. You may choose funky fonts for a single word or go for cursive lettering for a sleek and stylish look. Besides, you can combine the tattoo with a plethora of additional details such as vine, flames, stars, hearts, flowers, barbed wire. On top of that, lettering tattoos on the neck are also on the rise. Sofia Richie has the word “clarify” printed on her neck. What is more, Emma Watson Debuted a “Time’s Up” tattoo at the Oscars Afterparty. She showed off a “Time’s Up” tattoo to support the Time’s Up movement. This movement was created to stand against sexual harassment and abuse in Hollywood and other industries. And stars use the platform on the red carpet to stand in solidarity. This lettering tattoo does not only perform an aesthetic function but also it has a deep meaning.  
  • Jewel Tattoos
  Screen Shot 2018 03 27 at 12.44.02 PMFrom diamonds to emeralds, there are all types of jewel tattoos for women and men to adore. Usually, these tattoos are colorful and they produce a 3D effect. Besides, they can look very real which enhances the effect they produce. There are different gemstones that are used for gemstone tattoos:
  • A diamond indicates beauty, power, everlasting love.
  • A ruby means passion, pleasure, and a desire to live a beautiful life.
  • Pearls are associated with the moon, water, and female energy. This gem is associated with nobility, purity, brightness, light, and richness.
  • A topaz gets its name from the Greek word topazion, which may originate from the Sanskrit tapas, meaning, “fire.” Thus, this tattoo is connected with energy, strength, loyalty, leadership, and love.
  • An emerald symbolizes compassion, mercy, and universal love.
Maria Brink, Rumer Willis, Vanessa Ferlito, and Lil Debbie have jewel tattoos. Thus, fashion isn’t only about clothes. It is about being unique, confident, and comfortable with who you are.]]>

Holyco

Holyco bevys Herh u girls got me gagged oo. Y’all got me on chokehold with your fashion for your speech day.You girls I know took a page out of my article last year for that major faux pas by your seniors. let me not go there!
Y’all brought your yellow and dark brown to life. DAMN!!! I saw some pictures here and there and held myself from jumping the gun.img 20240308 wa00641285702328081350654 1img 20240308 wa0063247496369056734119I told myself I will wait for the official pictures. I was walking with bated breath. Then finally my dear photographer extraordinaire the man I call “lens god” Mr. Yaw Pare posted the album. God bless you bra Yaw.
Let’s go….

This look was everything… its giving royal ascot or the Kentucky derby with no fascinator or hat. I love the creativity that went into it and the tailoring brought it to life 😍😍😍

Simple and elegant. The details and the cut 👌🏾Good colour choice of bag and accessories. My only P with this is the hair. An all back ponytail or a bob would have been ideal but hey I give her a pass for it 😍😊

I see alot of ladies try this style and ends up making it look a mess. But this was everything. It’s giving simplicity and allure. I like how she toned down on the acessories. She kept it cute and classy. Shoe and purse I’m not buying tho.

Love the hair, sunglasses and purse. She took her acessorization serious. Outfit beautiful the chinese neck was well done. The comma for me is the slit should have been a bit tight with a nice A-line shape. As it stands it’s giving headmistress in-charge of academics 😂

Sewn according to her body type and I love it 😍 lovely shoes and bag colour. but not that imposing valentino V. So many fake on the market we can’t tell which one is real. Let’s just say yours is real 😂😘

I love it 😍 screaming prim and proper 😘😘😘

I like this no doubt… I like it when you think of your comfort rather than choosing something which will make u uncomfortable. But let me borrow her designers scissors ✂️ for a min. I will cut off the beading around the illusion net. I get what she was trying to do but the execution is giving JSS needle work. Aside that I love it. Her choice of nail polish colour and accessories is 👌🏾

This is elegant. I had to zoom in to see there was an illusion net at the top. That’s how it’s done. It needs to blend well with your skin tone. Love the hair and I must give it to the red ladies for incorporating the red in a subtle way. Some red lipstick and others nail polish color. That’s smart 👏🏾

How to pose for pictures elevate your look. It’s called poise. Aside her posture and the hair. Nice outfit same for purse and shoes.

This is just fabulous. Love everything about this look. Her confidence is also shining through. 😍 it’s giving boss lady, it’s giving I’m in a meeting call me back in the next hour, it’s giving these are my terms go with it or opt out! 😂

Everything but not the fringes. Let me borrow the scissors ✂️ again. I will cut the fringes off and maintain the bow. It’s a nice outfit no need for extras. You don’t come across as someone who back in school altered her uniform in form one 😂 I like how the shoes and the finger nails are working together.

Straight forward and spot on. 😍😘👏🏾👏🏾

Nice dress and I love the braids. Red lipstick 💄 😘 but too much brown going on. You should have thrown in abit of colour especially for the shoes.

Choice of colour for shoes and purse. I like it! You know your colours. The only dash is the blouse should have synched the midsection small p3. aside that I love it 😍

Nice outfit, but the rich melanin for me 😘

The cornrows… in fact the hair for me 😍

Simple and nice… quintessential Holyco babe 🥰

Let me put the outfit aside and focus on the hair. She brought root realness. I miss natural edges. A rest from the baby hair pandemic! Sis you look good and thanks for bringing authenticity to the speech day 😍

Beautiful work of art. The aduana f3f33f3 Kojo Antwi sung about is this one. Effortlessly beautiful 😍

Everything was going well oo. Whose decision was it to add the ruffles? this is a good piece of work but the … I beg pass me the scissors ✂️ I’m cutting the ruffles under the boobs. It works well on as shoulder straps. You too during exams you ask for graph sheet and extra sheets for simple questions erh. Don’t do that!! 🥰😂 I like ur matter.

School daughter on the left. Nice bustier and your waist is effortlessly synched. Let me borrow you my scissors ✂️ cut that thing down there off. Or buy a new fabric. Also what’s the grand idea for a purple shoe? Gurl!!!

Nice dress with an effectious vibe 💯👌🏾

Those earrings.. it’s doing the Good Samaritan work. 🥰😍

Hi Ms. Pretty lady where did you cut your hair? Please go back and pay more. They over delivered. Whaattt! I love ur demure too 😍😘

Tidy makeup and ohh the embellishments on your dress. I need to see the full look. I’m sure back in school you had a chit that exempts you from chores right? 😂 soft life looks good on you.

Lovely 🥰 that’s all I can say.

Last President and Vice 😍😘

Noko nice and beautiful. Class is written all over her. Let me ask o was it a deliberate attempt to depart from baby hair and frontals? Wow 🤩

😘😘😘😘😍

The hair is well laid…!👌🏾🥰

Exquisite 🥰😍

Pristine look. Just oozing class 🥰😍

Billion dollar smile… turban and fascinator well done. Please insure your teeth. Colgate your model for the next campaign in Elle, cosmopolitan, essence, vanity fair and vogue is here 😍😘

I see the full look now… wow the intentionality. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Sister sister

Angels wings on angels hill 💛🤎

Dazz 😍

Squad goals 💃
Overall I’m impressed, the ladies put in the work. Those that read my previous articles about Gey Hey and rushed to their tailors for readjustments et al I see you all 😂😂😂
2000 year group is hosting next year I understand y’all better come and gag. Same challenge in three to 2003 Gey Hey. The fashion battle lines are drawn now!!!
