Types of grenades

Since depicting a grenade is a relatively new trend, there are no strict rules for creating a sketch and it depends mostly on the artist’s imagination. The most common version is close-to-reality with all proportions kept, made in graphic black-and-white style. Also, the master can often supplement the drawing with warning inscriptions. It is understandable, because as soon as you tear off the tab, there is no turning back. A flower can be used to soften such intense symbol – for example, a chamomile, – and then this may mean that a person is ready for war, while values peace more. Also, the body of a grenade can be depicted in the form of a heart; then the tattoo indicates a warm heart, which, like a warhead, is ready to burst into small pieces in the name of love.

The most popular location for applying a grenade tattoo is the arm, forearm and chest, less often it is put on the calf muscle, on the neck and back.

You can find a wide variety of grenades as an example online: they can be realistic, old school, with skulls, cartoon-style, or surrounded by other military attributes (for example, flying bombers), while they all share a strong and powerful energy in a message they convey.
