This tattoo shows the word "Sidequest" rendered in a handpoked lettering style, placed on a man's upper arm. The lettering is in black ink, with a simple, slightly irregular line quality characteristic of the handpoked technique. Below the lettering, a small, stylized boat and a symbol are also visible. The cost for a tattoo like this one is approximately €90. Tattoo prices are not fixed; they depend on factors such as the tattoo's size, its level of detail, the chosen body placement, and the artist's experience. Always consult with the artist for a precise quote.
The term "sidequest" originates from video games and role-playing games, referring to an optional mission or objective separate from the main storyline. Symbolically, a sidequest can represent diversion from a primary goal, a personal journey of exploration, or an endeavor taken for personal growth or enjoyment rather than necessity. It often implies a pursuit that adds richness and experience to life's broader narrative without being its central focus. In a broader sense, it can also stand for embracing spontaneity and taking detours in life.
The primary style used here is Line Work, which focuses on creating designs through distinct lines rather than shading or color fills. This style emphasizes clarity and precision, with the lines themselves forming the core of the image. The Handpoked technique, also known as stick and poke, involves manually pushing ink into the skin without a machine. This technique often results in a softer, sometimes slightly less uniform line compared to machine tattooing, giving the artwork a distinct, organic feel.
