Ornamental Tattoo

ORNAMENTAL

SYMMETRY & SYMBOLIC.

Ornamental motifs literally decorate and adorn the body with recurring, often geometric patterns. The aesthetic in a geometric tattoo lies in a certain balance and order in the structure of the individual elements.

WHAT MAKES THIS STYLE SO SPECIAL?

Ornamental, geometric or mandala tattoos offer endless possibilities in terms of their form and complexity. Characteristic are often very clear shapes and symmetrical, recurring structures. To create a fine balance in the overall effect, various techniques such as dotwork and linework can be used as stylistic devices and combined with each other. 

Many of today's tattooed patterns and patterns have their origins in several different cultures. The mandala as an example, is attributed in hinduism and buddhism a magical and religious significance. The mostly square or circular ornaments are always oriented to a central hub and can contain various symbols from religion, esotericism or psycholgy. Calligraphic elements and the symbolic representation of nature and animals are also widespread.

Traditional and ethnic motifs in tattoos are also very popular in western countries today. However, function and meaning barely play a role in most cases. On the basis of original tattoo forms (see tribal) new, modern styles are evolving, which today are mainly stung and worn as decorative body jewelry.

FEEDBACK

From A to Z only recommend. I am overjoyed with my tattoo and infinitely grateful to Thor. Super nice and really good artist who took my idea and raised it to a whole other level with his style. Was definitely not the last tattoo at BoldBlack.
Thank you very much.
