"Instagram in particular… gave access to a free image-based marketing platform and a worldwide audience," she says. "As far as style, I think a lot of the 'newer' styles we've seen enter tattooing are things we've already seen in the art [and] design world for years." "Before the arrival of those platforms, there were only a handful of different styles going around that you would have to find through magazines or actually going to the shop to look at the flash on the wall," he says. "Now a lot more people are exposed to it and are interested in getting some work done in those styles because they haven't seen anything similar."
"Tattooing has been around forever. A lot of the different styles going around are often remixes of older stuff; we get inspired by the history around us and give it our own touch."Stepping outside of the norm does bring its fair share of criticism. Emerik says he receives negative comments on Instagram from people that think tattoos need to fit a clean standard with realistic imagery.
Gothic sigilism is everywhere in Montreal. With its sharp lines, wing-like features and intricate cyber-esque detailing, the style has become a popular subsection of the city's tattoo scene. For artist Céleste Bonnier, who goes byon Instagram, the curvature of the human body plays a huge role in her design work. The Montreal-based artist's style has evolved throughout the years, but she has recently found herself focusing on tribal ornamental designs.
