Steampunk is an artistic genre that began in the 1980s and 1990s. Steampunk is a combination of science fiction, fantasy and history. It is based on existing ideas, such as the clockwork machines of the Victorian era, but includes situations that don’t exist in reality, such as travelling through time or humans living in deep space.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Steampunk art is often filled with clockwork elements, mostly depicted in yellow metals such as brass. Often the casings of these clockwork mechanisms will also be made of brass or copper. Because of the antique nature of steampunk designs, tattoo artists can create a wealth of textures within a steampunk tattoo design such as shiny metal, leather, wood and in some cases, rust.\u00a0Most steampunk tattoo designs show mechanics that aren’t rusted, but for those who want an authentic appeal, wear and tear can be added to the design to give the impression that the clockwork in the tattoo has survived many decades, or perhaps even traveled through time.<\/p>\nTattoos that bring Steampunk to Skin<\/h1>\n
