BIOMECHANICAL TATTOOS

Biomechanical Tattoo Design Meanings Bio-mechanical tattoos are realistic, three-dimensional impressions of a robotic bio-realm beneath the skin. It’s a ‘tromp l’oeil’, or ‘trick of the eye’, since the skin often appears to be peeled back to reveal what you’re truly made of – an improbable (but somehow sublime) combination of mechanics and flesh. Where there should be a mess of blood and bone, tendons and sinew, we might see mechanical components – gears, tubes, and levers. Some say these titanium parts represent our hidden potential.

生物机械纹身是皮肤下机器人生物领域的逼真的三维印象。这是一种“tromp l’oeil”或“眼睛的诡计”,因为皮肤经常看起来被剥离,以揭示你真正做到的 – 一种不可能的(但不知何故的)力量和肉体的组合。在那里应该有一堆血液和骨骼,肌腱和肌肉,我们可能会看到机械部件 – 齿轮,管子和杠杆。有人说这些钛零件代表着我们隐藏的潜力。

In popular culture, the biomechanical phenomenon is best represented by the Star Trek cyborgs, a cloned race known as Borgs. Where hoses, pipes and wires co-mingle with corporeal limbs and orifices, here we have biomechanics. Skilled tattoo artists can cleverly replicate this fiction (or science fiction) in two dimensions.

在流行文化中,生物力学现象最好的代表是星际迷航,一种被称为博格斯(Borgs)的克隆种族。在软管,管道和电线与有形肢体和孔口共同连接的地方,在这里我们有生物力学。熟练的纹身艺术家可以在两个维度上巧妙地复制这个小说(或科幻小说)。

 

More popular with guys than gals, these biomechanical designs are usually inked over the body’s most powerful musculature – the upper arms, calves, thighs, back, and sometimes the wrist.

这些生物力学设计通常比身体上最强大的肌肉组织(上臂,小腿,大腿,背部,有时是手腕)更受欢迎。

Biomechanical sculptures

Traditionally, biomechanical tattoos are done in black and grey, which lends itself to the accepted notion of metal and robotics. But full colour better serves an ‘interior life’ composed of fanciful objects found therein, like butterflies, and ‘the light’ of our true nature.

传统上,生物力学纹身以黑色和灰色完成,这符合公认的金属和机器人概念。但是,全色更好地服务于由其中发现的奇特物体组成的“内部生活”,如蝴蝶,以及我们真实性质的“光”。

Most of us first became aware of ‘biomechanics’ while watching any one of the “Alien” movies. The genius behind the design of the alien creature was the Swiss surrealist, H.R. Giger. (He won the Oscar in 1980 for ‘best achievement in visual effects’.) Giger’s previous artistic works had already earned him a reputation for probing our primal fears and instincts. He was clearly trying to disturb those who encountered his man-machines. Says one observer, “This man knows what we fear.”

我们大多数人在观看任何一个“外星人”电影时首先意识到“生物力学”。外星生物设计背后的天才是瑞士超现实主义人物吉格(HR Giger)。(他于1980年赢得了奥斯卡“视觉效果最佳成就”)。Giger的以前的艺术作品已经使他成为探索我们原始恐惧和本能的声誉。他显然试图打扰那些遇到他的人的机器。一位观察员说,“这个人知道我们害怕什么”。
