Gun Tattoo Designs
Although there are many ways to design a gun tattoo there are two very different and most popular methods of a gun tattoo, the first being a fine line or single needle tattoo, the results look stunning because of the mechanical aesthetics of a gun a single needle captures all the lines, curves and mechanisms in a very accurate way even when done small, the only downside to these is it may not last long and fade in a fairly short amount of time but if taken care of properly it can last a very long time.
The next most popular type of gun tattoo is a bold line and bigger design, these will last in the long run without needing constant touch-ups and can be more stylised depending on personal preference.
nother type of gun tattoo with its popularity on the rise is realistic, these are somewhere in between the fine line and bold traditional lined tattoos.
