Dating Thai Boys (105) Cybersigilism tattoos

Dating Thai Boys (105) Cybersigilism tattoos
A currently popular style of tattoo is what I used to call "spiky", but recently learned there is a name: cybersigilism. 

https://www.cocreate.ink/articles/cybersigilism-tattoo-style says:
Cybersigilism tattoos are a striking blend of technological (cyber) influence and mystical (sigil) aesthetics. The designs that characterize cybersigilism appear organic, but often combine subtle figurative elements. 

This is different from tribal tattoos which were popular in the 2000's to 2010's. Here two examples of tribal. The first is "First Twitter" www.instagram.com/first_twitter/ and the second Tiger from Nice Boys Pattaya a decade ago (screenshot from a video).





These are out of fashion now. But a year ago I noticed something similar:

From an art historical point of view, cybersigilism relates to tribal like Rococo to Baroque. 

This is a new trend (2020's), and by chance I found there is even a name for it: cybersigilism. Before, I used to call it "spiky" because it looks like a medieval weapon, and I'm afraid of piercing my skin when I touch it. These pictures illustrate my point:





Others look like hostile alien lifeforms or diseases that spread from point of entry across the body:




The symmetrical on lower abdomen or upper chest are reminiscent of "arse antlers" and look like a hand-held (brass knuckles) or throwing weapon (shuriken). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shuriken: A shuriken (Japanese: 手裏剣; lit. 'hand-hidden blade') is a Japanese concealed weapon used by samurai or ninja or in martial arts as a hidden dagger or metsubushi to distract or misdirect.





On the general subject of "spiky tattoos", barbed wire tattoos are older (2010's) 
and did not become popular:



The tattoo says "Artty Aphiruk Khantan", https://web.facebook.com/art.aphiruk and https://web.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61589284006135, used to work in Kawaii Boy around 2015? 


The tattoo says "soft nature, harsh world". https://www.instagram.com/backtdkk/ and https://x.com/backthedark54


The tattoo says "Born to be myself". Massage boy in one of the various Ladphrao massage places. 



Related styles. This neck tattoo is about 10 years old. N.b. the yellow spot on his temple from a tattoo removal. 


Only painted, not tattooed. 


I can't make any sense of these. 




I would call these a bit overdone:

This looks similar to cybersigilism from a distance, but from close it's floral motives:


These looks similar to cybersigilism from a distance, but from close I would call them "skeletal": 



Enough! ChristianPFC disapproves of tattoos. Here some reasons:

scienceoftheuniverse
    Your tattoo isn't just decorative ink: it's a permanent trigger that keeps your immune system locked in a lifelong cycle of chronic inflammation.
    As soon as the ink is injected into your skin, your body recognizes the pigment particles as foreign invaders. Immune cells called macrophages immediately swarm the area and attempt to swallow them up. ...
