The Mechanics of Emotion!
Man is nothing but a machine, an emotional machine to be specific. These two designs tend to highlight the machine-inspired look of steampunk, along with some beautiful symbolism.
Say it with Animals!
Steampunk owl tattoos are very popular. But, that doesn't mean you restrict yourself just to it; jazz up your favorite animal with some gears, cogs, or some Victorian accessories, and you'll have your steampunk animal tattoo.
Artistic Touch!
When it comes to steampunk, even insects are not spared; dragonfly or butterfly designs are all the rage. These look beautiful, as you can make them artistic. Perfect for those who like steampunk, but want to keep it minimal as well.
Go Gears!
Gears, cogs, cogwheels, you can go absolutely nuts with them. Full back or sleeve tattoos with lots of gears and other machine-inspired elements look stunning. Simple, small ones like the ones shown below look breathtaking as well.
Funk it Up!
If you love pinup girl tattoos, then why not try a sexy Victorian girl. Skulls are one of the most popular elements in tattoos. No wonder, since they can be paired with almost any design. These are not your typical steampunk designs, but funky versions, definitely worth a look.
Steamy Affair!
Steampunk is all about steam power. You can add some steam to a cute heart tattoo, or get a steam-machine heart done. Another great option is a mechanical heart design, with gears and clogs.
And More Options...
You can also get a tattoo with a single steampunk element. Clocks, mechanical hearts, keys, machines, your initials, lucky numbers, or anything else you like. Even if you have any other tattoo, you can add any of these elements to make it into a steampunk tattoo.
