About Abstract Tattoos

Abstract tattoos drop literal imagery for pure form — shape, line, color, texture and movement arranged to evoke a feeling rather than depict a thing. Drawing on a century of abstract painting, the result is genuinely one-of-a-kind.

  • Freed from "looking like" something, it's built around emotion, energy or a personal idea
  • Overlaps with abstract realism, abstract watercolor and graphic/geometric work
  • Open to interpretation — two people can read the same piece completely differently
  • It's about a strong creative voice, since the composition is the art
  • Often improvisational, so pick an artist whose aesthetic genuinely resonates with you
