Geometric style tattoo ideas
Photos of geometry tattoos demonstrate the diversity of images. These are single figures, patterns, sacred signs, symbols of the elements, abstract compositions, schematic images of plants, animals, people.
Large images look spectacular on the back, chest, hips. For small geometric tattoos, use the lower back, wrist or ankle.
As for color, not only monochrome is relevant. Geometric tattoo pictures can be replete with vibrant colors, especially when paired with watercolor techniques. Drawings with the addition of black lines with white strokes look unusual.
Floral motifs
Among the popular flower tattoos in the style of geometry are sketches of sakura, roses, peonies, lotus. Images of flowers are closely intertwined with geometric shapes. Stems, leaves and buds are also drawn using circles, triangles, and other simple shapes.
