Cyber Sigilism also known as “ Cyber Tribal “ & “ Goth Tribal “, is a modern tattoo style that I'd describe as smooth, retro sexy, sensual, Gothic, and at times even chilling due to the uncanny resemblance that it has to an extreme poisonous reaction on the body or a fast-spreading techno disease.
Cyber Sigilism gets its inspiration from the Y2K era of the early 2000s & at that time the cyber aesthetic could be seen everywhere. From music videos, album covers, within fashion, within movies, and even video games.
In the millennium space age the world vibed heavy with primitive futurism & the idea and essence of Digital punk was not only a trend but a look at the brave new nihilistic dawn we are currently experiencing through a crystal ball.
This style is made to flow with the human body and when the tattoos are large-scale, elaborate in their design, and inked on the most visible sectors of the body they become Vivid, Visceral, & downright gorgeous to gaze at.
To hammer the nail home, I believe that cyber Sigilism despite being soulful eye candy to decorate the flesh with, and also more of a modern offshoot of the early traditional tribal style.
Is very much able to stand boldly on its own as a love letter to days gone by and a proud acknowledgment of where our modern society is headed when it comes to melding more & more with technology and AI. As both continue to evolve.
