One artist who has made this a classic style for is H.R. Giger. Giger was a painter from Switzerland who had a style that was unlike anything people had seen before. He loved to blend humans with machines in a way that made them look both futuristic and realistic. People still use his exact style in their biomechanical tattoos, though there have been some art styles that some of Giger’s work and add a bit more to it.

Biomechanical tattoos are often done is black and grey, or very minimalist in the use of color when blended with human flesh. Some people will use a stronger silver color over grey, but in most cases you will not see any bright, flashy colors being used. One color that is found in a lot of these tattoos is red, which is used to show the underside of the skin and, perhaps, blood running next to or along the biomechanical parts.

One of the most popular biomechanical tattoos is the spine tattoo. These are usually placed directly down the backbone and will include a pole-looking part to represent the mechanized spine. Some take this a bit further by expanding out a bit, showing the connections from other parts of the body to the spine.

Another extremely popular biomechanical tattoo is the biomechanical sleeve design. This is what you want to get if you want to show off the cool look of your biomechanical design. You can go with just mechanical parts, or you can mix in bones and mechanical parts to show that you are a mix of human and machine. Sleeve tattoos can stretch from the top of the shoulder and go all the way down to the wrist, or they can cover a smaller space along the arm.

If you don’t want your biomechanical tattoo to be too visible, then you might want to opt for the aforementioned spine tattoo or the rib version. With the rib tat most folks will include the bones with rods attached to the ribs, perhaps with a couple of broken bones mixed in. These often look best with the ripped skin look we went over before, but that’s not totally necessary.
