Geometric shapes on the skin – more than 60 ideas for a unique geometric tattoo
John GriffithThe aspiration towards harmony and balance in all aspects of life is one of the greatest concerns of mankind. From the human body to the art, the harmonious aspect of the forms is considered as a real aesthetic norm. So it’s no surprise that geometric tattooing is so popular among tattoo lovers and beginners alike in the art of skin. The craze for geometric tattoos can not be explained solely by their aesthetic appearance, however. Geometric shapes are everywhere in the world, the sources of inspiration are virtually inexhaustible. In addition, their harmonious appearance combined with the many motifs creates an original and deeply symbolic design.
Geometric tattoo or the aesthetics of harmony
The meaning
The geometric tattoo very often represents a design with repetitive forms harmoniously arranged to form a symbolic whole. This representation of simple forms and their ordering by the tattooist evokes harmony, balance and precision that is observed everywhere in nature. The ambition to reduce the world to its simplest forms also reveals a desire to know the nature of everything around us. The fragmentation of an image is also opposed to the tendency of the man to think too much, to over-analyse and to complicate. The simple and geometric tattoo thus poses a whole new look on the world and nature. Some designs offer a semi-geometric representation, which symbolises the principle of the interconnection of all things in the universe.
