These Tattoos are Worth the Climb

Would you get a mountain tattoo?

Mountain tattoos are an extremely popular ask in tattoo shops around the world and there are two main reasons why. First off, many people get tattoos to symbolize their love of nature. As someone who grew up in the actual woods and fled to NYC right after high school, I can understand why someone would commemorate their love for mountains with a tattoo. Now that I don’t have cabin fever all of the time, I can appreciate going back home and escaping the city by taking a hike. Plus, many people consider hiking a large mountain to be a big milestone and have commemorated a specific geographic landmark with ink. For instance, there are plenty of tattoos of the Rocky Mountains out there. And I’m sure if I ever hiked Mount Everest, I’d want to honor that moment with a tattoo.

Another big reason why people get mountain tattoos is to represent overcoming something significant in their lives. When it came to getting my own mountain tattoo, I wanted it to symbolize overcoming an abusive relationship and finding confidence again after a dark time. For others, the mountain could mean overcoming other types of adversity or jumping smaller hurdles.

Whatever your reason for getting a mountain tattoo, the end result is pretty sensational. Take a look at some of our favorite mountain tattoos from talented artists around the world in the gallery below, then let us know your thoughts on this story in the comments section on social media.

@alex_nahpets : „Berge und Strände symbolisieren für mich Erholung und Entspannung. An diesen Orten kann ich richtig abschalten und bin dort einfach glücklich. Auch den Surf-Style (sowohl das Lebensgefühl, als auch die Mode) assoziiere ich für mich mit Lebensfreude und Entspannung. Gerade in der heutigen Zeit ist Entschleunigung extrem wichtig, ohne dabei seine Ziele aus den Augen zu verlieren.“ STORIES.

“Keep close to Nature’s heart… and break clear away, once in awhile, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean.” ― John Muir Thank you Jake for your trust and for the complete freedom with your first tattoo! It is dedicated to Jake’s love for nature and his dearest memories from the Canadian Rocky mountain range. The two constellations are to represent his parents. Can you guess which two?

КРАСКА, которую я использую во время сеанса . Часто на сеансе спрашивают, “что это за такая красивая красочка, из чего состоит, сколько стоит и т.п”, теперь хочу вас познакомить с тем, что вкрашиваю в вас, и с чем вы ходите. Думаю вам будет интересно, читай до конца) ⚠️Из чего состоит краска для тату? В состав красок входят пигменты, которые состоят из органических и неорганических веществ. Чтобы ввести твердый пигмент в кожу с помощью иглы, необходим носитель. В качестве носителя может быть использован этиловый спирт, дистиллированная вода, метанол, гамамелис, листерин, пропиленгликоль, глицерин и сорбитол. А чтобы твердый пигмент и носитель смешивались однородно и не расслаивались, в состав краски входят различные загустители и стабилизаторы. Пигмент – сухое порошкообразное вещество определенного цвета. Носитель – раствор, в котором равномерно растворен пигмент. Как правило, дезинфицирующий. ⚠️Состав пигментов В состав пигментов входят как органические, так и неорганические соединения. Кроме того, у каждого производителя может быть свой “секретный ингредиент”. World Famous Tattoo Ink – американский бренд, который сотрудничает с лучшими мастерами по всему миру, имеет в палитре более 330 оттенков. Пигменты созданы династийным татуировщиком Лу Рубино. Компания имеет 50-летний опыт создания красок для татуировки Quantum Tattoo Ink был обоснован в 2011 году, в Северном Голливуде, Калифорния. Краска, в которую я влюблена. Всем, коллегам советую! По стоимости – 15мл одного цвета краски стоит примерно 400р.(+-) Я использую только двоих этих производителей. Их очень много. Но приоритет отдаю только им! @quantumtattooink.russia @worldfamousink .

Algumas pessoas me reconheceram instantâneamente nessa tattoo (quem tá um pouquinho por perto já sabe né ). Outras, me perguntaram o significado, quiseram entender e saber se doeu haha Sempre gostei de tatuagem, porém, demorei uma vida pra escolher algo tão definitivo rs A demora foi por não me sentir “representada” por nenhuma até então. Foi preciso um plano maquiavélico elaborado em conjunto com a maravilhosa @saramenegusse que tem esse talento lindo de passar tudo que está na nossa cabeça pra um papel e, então, pra pele. O significado pra mim: Uma paixão que foi crescendo, se espalhando e tomando conta pela natureza e pelas montanhas, especificamente. Pensei: “se tem algo que não vai mudar é esse sentimento de paz, autoconhecimento e preenchimento que só quem está lá no alto de uma montanha sente!” Pronto. Tive a certeza. O triângulo? Mudança e fluidez. Um circuito que volta ao início… Que busca o equilíbrio . . . . #blackline #tattoo #mountain #blacklinetattoo #blacktattooart #mountaintattoo
