Over the last few years, postage stamp tattoos have become a popular concept in the world of body art. You don’t have to be a philatelist (stamp collector) for it to make sense as a tattoo for yourself. Postage stamp tattoos may symbolize a love of travel, with a stamp used to depict a favorite country or destination. In such a case stamp tattoos can be an ever-growing collection, with a new one tattooed on your body as you check yet another destination off of your list of places to visit. A postage stamp tattoo is also ideal for someone who wants to show love for their home country without using obvious tropes such as a national flag. A tattoo of a historical stamp may also provide a way to show your affinity for a bygone era. Whatever your motivation may be, you want a piece that is done with expert attention to detail, but not one that is an exact and overcomplicated replica. In other words, you desire a minimalist stamp tattoo. If located in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) there is only one place to go. Read ahead to find out why Adrenaline gets the public’s stamp of approval on this particular concept.
Why Choose Adrenaline When Looking for a Minimalist Stamp Tattoo in Toronto
Blackwork + Fine Line Specialization
Recently completed minimalist stamp tattoos at Adrenaline Toronto
People who desire a minimalist tattoo (be it of a stamp or something else) are really looking for a blackwork fine line tattoo. The word “blackwork” is self-explanatory, whereas “fine line” covers most of the minimalism part. The fine line style employs thin and thoughtfully placed lines to create the design, and there is generally little to no shading involved. Blackwork with fine line is idyllic for postage stamp tattoos. When applied by a specialist in each style (blackwork and fine line) the result is a crisp and clean design that is instantly identifiable to onlookers.
While most modern tattoo shops have a blackwork specialist and a fine line specialist on staff, Adrenaline Toronto has an artist who excels at both styles (in addition to the American traditional style). This is good news given that having two tattooists tag-team your design isn’t exactly practical. View more about Adrenaline’s resident artist Trevor Huntinghawk here and check out more of his work on his Instagram profile right here. If you like what you see we recommend that you upload images of the stamp you have in mind and select Trevor as the artist you want to consult with.
