Geometric Tattoos

About Geometric Tattoos

Geometric tattooing builds imagery from precise shapes, lines and symmetry — triangles, circles, polygons and sacred-geometry patterns. It can be purely abstract or give faceted structure to a recognizable subject. The defining quality is order.

• Often overlaps with dotwork and ornamental work for shading and fill
• Frequently uses sacred-geometry motifs (flower of life, Metatron's cube) with real meaning
• Precision is everything — a wobble or off angle is glaringly obvious
• The best artists map the design to the body so symmetry reads on a curved surface
• Look for dead-straight lines and clean junctions in healed photos
