Color-theory geometric roses, upper arm

This is because of color assimilation! When you put small areas of color in among another color, your eye blends them together instead of keeping them separate. So a color spreads into the ones around it and changes how they look. That's why the color you see from across the room isn't the color you see up close. And this matters because it can happen by accident. When it does, a tattoo loses its definition and goes flat from across the room. So when I tattoo my geo roses, I'm not just coloring a rose, I'm hijacking how your eye see color. 🎨🖍🌹🤓💛 #colortattoo #geometrictattoo #colortheory #rosetattoo #tattooartist
