Tattoo experts reveal the most popular body art styles among Gen Z - and the designs young people consider outdated and uncool... so, is YOUR ink aging you?

Certain generations adore specific tattoos - whether it's Gen X men opting for tribal armbands or millennials getting infinity symbols on their rib cage. 

If you've been wondering what ink to get - and what tats are officially trendy with Gen Z (age 12 to 27) - folks on TikTok are constantly weighing in.

FEMAIL talked to some of the buzziest tattoo artists to find out what their Gen Z clients are asking for - and the millennial ink they find dated. 

From cybersigilism to angel numbers, here's the list of ink Gen Z adores - including the return of certain placement, like the tramp stamp.

Millennials get dreamcatchers and watercolor tattoos, while Gen Z opts for tiny Pinterest-inspired tattoos

When it comes to tattoos, they're showing your age - and your generation.  

Millennials famously get dreamcatchers and bold watercolor tattoos, while Gen Z opts for tiny Pinterest-inspired tattoos, with Hailey Bieber's delicate ink an ideal example.

Harry Potter, Disney tattoos, and infinity signs also fall into the millennial camp. 

On TikTok, one user said Gen Z tattoos were thought of as fine line flowers, and the patchwork leg tattoos are a source of comedy as people wonder how they'll age over time.

Val, who owns Uplift Tattoo in New York City, has 18 years of experience and told DailyMail.com, 'There is nothing more fascinating today than the tattoo culture of Generation Z' as it 'shows how necessary self expression' is, especially since the ink is often meaningful and personal.  

The tattooist has seen an increase in single needle and fine line tattoos, 'which are characterized by their finesse and precision,' as well as minimal 'small and dainty tattoos.'

According to Val, more Gen Z members are asking for angel numbers, which are repeated numbers that have significance to people, as well as quotes in a loved one's handwriting.

It's not always about unique designs. Val said Gen Z often chose flash tattoos, which were pre-drawn small designs they could get done quickly without making any changes.

Atelier Eva artist Ash Aurich agreed that 'Gen Z wouldn't get anything particularly bold, like tribal or American traditional tattoos,' because 'it's all about minimalism'

As Val has been in the industry for almost 20 years, he's seen plenty of tat trends come and go, like infinity signs, Disney characters, Celtic crosses, and black birds flying away.

However, Val did foreshadow, 'They always come back,' citing fine line tribal tramp stamps.

Atelier Eva artist Ash Aurich, based in Brooklyn, agreed that 'Gen Z wouldn't get anything particularly bold, like tribal or American traditional tattoos,' because 'it's all about minimalism for them.' 

Ash said that 'neo-traditional, realism and geometric' designs were all millennial trends, as millennials opt for 'bigger and more intricate pieces.'

And while Ash doesn't think that any Gen Z tattoo trends are already over, she does believe that millennial trends, like lower back tats, are making a comeback.

Millennials opt for splashy, bold, colorful designs, and especially animals, to make a statement

Millennials opt for larger pieces with more obvious placement, while Gen Z hides ink behind their ears and on their inner fingers

Tattoo shop Bang Bang in New York City is famous for its designs, as seen on celebrities like Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, Rihanna, Rita Ora, and many, many more. 

Bang Bang tattoo artist Dr. Franklin told DailyMail.com: 'The biggest trend would probably be sticker tats or anything single needle.

'I feel like the look doesn't matter as long as it's done with a single needle, they are happy.' 

While he thinks Gen Z would never get neo-traditional or tribal tattoos, he agreed that 'everything is full circle.'

Some millennials opt for larger black and white pieces, but Dr. Franklin thinks they're timeless - although some trends are a bit dated.

'You don't see mandalas or geometric tattoos as much anymore compared to 10 years ago when many people were more interested in that style,' the artist revealed. 

Masha S. at Isol Tattoo in New York City specializes in the fine line designs beloved by Gen Z

Masha said Gen Z's 'preferences align with their desire for individuality,' and they 'favor fine line script tattoos, flowy designs, and minimalistic concepts'

Masha S. at Isol Tattoo in New York City specializes in the fine line designs beloved by Gen Z and says their 'preferences align with their desire for individuality,' and they 'favor fine line script tattoos, flowy designs, and minimalistic concepts.'

According to Masha, Gen Z has eschewed 'traditional "old school" tattoos,' which they think of as 'outdated.'

Instead, they want tats that are 'aesthetically pleasing but also have a deeper significance or symbolize personal beliefs,' while being 'simple, clean and slightly abstract.'

This is in contrast to millennials, who according to Masha 'gravitate towards big and bold tattoo designs, with a preference for neo-traditional and new school styles,' which 'typically feature bold shapes, vibrant colors, and intricate details such as tribal arm bands, realistic animals, and geometric patterns with bold lines.'

Gen Z even place their ink differently, and opt for 'wrists, behind the ear, fingers, or inner parts of fingers' for more subtle body art. 

However, according to Masha, 'those placements not always good for tattoos, depending on lifestyle or a particular person's skin type,' especially when it comes to maintaining the ink over time.
