Types of tattoos can be portrait and subject. In the drawings of the first type, the key figure is the head and neck of the beast, decorated with various additions.

In story tattoos, animals are part of the composition. However, they are often small, or even small. Depending on the fantasy, the masters are real (deer, panda, leopard, fox) and mythical (Cheshire Cat, unicorn, pegasus).

Most often, the decor of the drawings are flowers and plant motifs, as well as precious stones and ornaments. Popular ideas are necklaces, crowns, crosses, monograms.On creative tattoos, you can see lines, strokes, dots, spots and other abstract details.

One of the unusual ideas is the use of a stylization trick. Such sketches differ in patterns and ornaments inscribed in the silhouette of the animal. The manner of performance is unique, it can be symmetrical and asymmetrical.

Sketches are stuffed with varying degrees of density. The choice depends on the design features and the resources of a particular execution technique. Therefore, in one case, the tattoo looks like a coloring, in the other - like underwear.

It can be a “sleeve” technique with a special manner of depicting animals on a dense black background. The oriental direction is also among the volumetric works, in the classical version it occupies up to 70% of the body.

The subject of sketches can be varied. In addition to laconic portraits, masters fill amulet symbols with characteristic attributes. Some women's tattoos are supplemented with significant inscriptions and dates.

A picture can have a different background. For example, animals that are knocked out against the background of snowy mountains, seas, lakes, evening forest, trees, sunset look beautiful. Animal faces are also spectacular against the background of the moon or thickets of grass.

In the catalogs of the salons there are sketches with single, paired animals. There are also such pictures in which animals-parents are depicted with their babies.

The subtext of the pictures also differs. Sometimes they are cute and mischievous faces. In other cases, animals with powerful paws and claws are depicted on the body. Such images carry a different meaning.

The techniques employed by professional craftsmen are multifaceted. From a large list of styles, there are several directions that women love.

Realism is rightfully considered one of the best techniques to convey all the beauty and believability of a drawing. Such work can last several sessions, since the masters draw every hair of the animal.

Watercolor is a technique reminiscent of art painting. Like the previous style, it conveys the mood of the picture, dynamics, is performed in color and monochrome. It also involves mixing pigments to obtain the desired halftones. The main emphasis is on drawing the foreground.

The ornament is distinguished by filling the contours with all kinds of patterns and ornaments. It is carried out mainly in black. It is often combined with the dotwork technique, which consists exclusively of many points. Ornamental tattoos are referred to as stylization.

Minimalism is a technique without unnecessary decor and additions. It is popular with girls who stuff small tattoos on their bodies. It can be a one-line drawing or an image in a geometric manner.

Geometric pattern is one of the fashionable trends. In this case, the face of the beast is depicted from various figures (rhombuses, triangles, and others). The image is created with the effect of volume, it is not complemented by shadows and feathering.

Oriental is a recognizable technique that is in demand among creative clients of tattoo parlors. It differs in the use of bright ink, the symbolism of each applied element, the plot of the composition. It comes in color and monochrome.

The engraving style is the choice of clients with a special taste. It differs from all previous techniques by the way of printing the pattern. It consists of many strokes, parallel to each other and at different angles.

As for the color of female tattoos with animals, it all depends on the chosen technique and the type of animal. Sharp lines are usually drawn in black ink. And also minimalistic tattoos are stuffed in monochrome.

Animals with flowers can be monochrome or colored. Bright oriental compositions - always bright red, yellow, blue, green, with a characteristic black outline.

The fashion trend is two-tone tattoos. It is fashionable to draw the key accent (of the beast) in black, and highlight any additions in color. For example, it can be golden or blue eyes of an animal.

The location of the tattoo on the female body depends on the size, complexity, visibility, anatomical features of the client.

The masters try to place volumetric images on the back. This zone ages later than other parts of the body, it does not sag, and therefore does not deform the picture.

It happens that the decoration occupies several zones at once: the back, lower back, hips. The drawings on the shoulder and forearm also look interesting. In these places, the masters try to position the face of the beast. Here it looks voluminous and impressive.

The location on the hand can be different. Someone asks the master to apply the decoration to the inside. Other girls like symbols near the wrist, on the wrist, or even on the palm. One of the favorite places for girls to tattoo is the thigh. Tattoos in this area allow you to change the image from modest to seductive. If the size of the pattern is small, you can hide it under your clothes.

It happens that the jewelry occupies the thigh and buttock area. In addition, some girls prefer to highlight the lower abdomen, navel, shoulder blades with a special decor. Someone gets a tattoo on their belly. Small patterns can be found on the leg (ankle, foot).
