Tattoos depicting geometric shapes began to spread actively not so long ago. They are most likely attracted by the fact that they look quite simple and concise. But at the same time they are impressive and can carry a rather deep mythological or religious meaning. In addition, using uncomplicated lines, you can create a unique and eye-catching image.
Application
It is worth noting that the work on such tattoos is painstaking, as geometric tattoos often include thin lines. During application, just the wrong movement of the master can ruin all the work. Therefore, if you decide to make a similar picture on the body, contact exclusively experienced professionals.
Features
A unique feature of geometric tattoos is that the interweaving of straight lines of different sizes, thicknesses, and maybe even colors leads to a complete composition as a result. Geometric tattoos are based on this. For girls who can not decide on the choice of drawing, this option is ideal. After all, it is unlikely that a simple and concise image will look elaborate or vulgar. It often happens that people get bored with their tattoos. Geometric shapes look unobtrusive. Therefore, they can hardly get bored.
The value of geometric tattoos
There are many shapes in geometry. Each of them is interpreted in its own way:
- Six pointed star. Very interesting figure. It has a complex symmetrical shape, which is formed of six triangles connected by a hexagon, resulting in a star. Everyone knows that a triangle looking up is a symbol of the sky, and looking down is a sign of the earth. In this figure they are combined. As a result, the picture symbolizes the perfect marriage between a man and a woman.
- Triangle. A common tattoo element. Geometric tattoos with its presence can be both independent and complemented by other images. But the triangle is most often the basis in such cases. There are a huge number of its most diverse meanings. For example, flame, stability. It also happens that a triangle embodies in itself some three concepts: birth, life and death; body, mind, and soul.
- The square is also no less common as a tattoo. Geometric tattoos of this kind can symbolize directness, truth, honesty, justice and simplicity.
- The circle is a symbol of unity, infinity and perfection. It can also symbolize the sun. Often you can find a circle divided in half, for example, the well-known yin-yang.
- The pentagram is usually associated with something ancient, mysterious. Its meaning varies depending on the performance, but the most common are the following: the victory of spiritual goods over material ones, safety, tranquility, harmony.
- The spiral is often found not only as a tattoo, but also in nature. For example, galaxies, tornadoes, whirlpools, shells, lines on a person’s finger, a DNA molecule. It was because of this that she gained the significance of something great, powerful. It can also symbolize time, change, the cycle.
- Lines are the basis of such a pattern. Geometric tattoos are simply inconceivable without them. But the lines can also be an independent image, for example, drawn in the form of an arrow or lightning.
Body location
The most common place for geometric tattoos are hands. And to be more specific, then the wrists, as the figures are usually presented in the form of a compact image and do not take up much space. This allows them to be placed in a small area. But this does not mean that geometric tattoos are necessarily performed in a strictly minimalist style. They can form complex, large-scale shapes or be part of another pattern. Similar tattoos can be placed anywhere else.
