There are a number of reasons that make autumn the perfect time to get a tattoo. For one, the entire season gives off an energy that makes you want to reinvent yourself, whether it's getting a new haircut, taking up a new hobby, or overhauling your beauty routine. Second — and most importantly — it's the optimal time for tattoo healing, since getting one in summer runs the risk of exposing your sensitive, newly inked skin to the sun and water.
As tattoo studios start to book up their appointment slots for September on, this gives you just the right amount of time to gather inspiration, and the upcoming season is bringing quite a few fresh tattoo designs for you to consider. The top tattoo trends for 2020, as well as this autumn's predictions, can be a great jumping-off point for your own artwork ideas.
Ahead, Guen Douglass and Edit Paints, two tattoo artists and ambassadors for the inspiration and booking app Tattoodo, are breaking down the top three tattoo trends for autumn.
