More on Geometric Flower Tattoo Design
A geometric flower tattoo can be depicted in many forms, from a mandala or delicate linework piece, to fractal and abstract designs, or neo traditional work of vividly interspersed colors or contrasted in tattooed skin against negative space.
Geometric flower tattoos often incorporate simple mandalas in color black and gray, especially in smaller neo traditional style designs that feature a flat shade juxtaposed against detailed linework.
Mandala patterns and pictures start at a central point then radiate outward in a circle (or in this case to make a flower), with a variety of other images or patterns making up the whole.
Other collectors choose to use different shaped lines, angles and dotwork to create shapes that can be used to frame a flower tattoo. They can also create a geometric flower by being incorporated together to make one design, or work in contrast to the untattooed area, a technique known as negative space.
FAQs
Can geometric flowers tattoos incorporate a mandala?
Geometric flower tattoos often incorporate simple mandalas in color black and gray, especially in smaller neo traditional style designs that feature a flat shade juxtaposed against detailed linework.
Mandala patterns and pictures start at a central point then radiate outward in a circle (or in this case to make a flower), with a variety of other images or patterns making up the whole. They are often very intricate, detailed sets of images when drawn together and make for aesthetically pleasing tattoos that many people respond to on a deeper level.
Mandala means circle in Sanskrit and symbolizes balance, eternity, unity and perfection. The mandala is a key motif in Hindu and Buddhist religions with it commonly representing the universe and can also be described as ‘the center of surroundings’ or ‘sacred circle.’
In western culture Mandalas are used to promote balance and harmony. This idea extends to mandalas becoming a spiritually linked method of tattoo, body art, and peace in general.
What is negative space in tattoo art?
Negative space refers to a piece where the majority of the linework and inking is done in order to bring out the empty space to reveal an image, shape, or design element like a stencil or silhouette.
This technique is popular for being cost-effective in tattoo design because of the comparatively minimal use of ink, as well as its stylistic versatility.
For geometric flower tattoos it works brilliantly by allowing the interplay between the linework of flowers against the shapes or dots of the surrounding geometric design elements.
Can I use any type of bloom to create a geometric flower tattoo?
Absolutely. The type and style you use to create a geometric flower design is entirely up to you.
There are almost no limits to the design possibilities for different flowers, leaves and stems when combined with different facets of geometric.
Different flowers are attached to a variety of symbolic meanings, so if there’s a type of deep meaning you wish to incorporate into the tattoo – such as the positivity and friendship of the sunflower – you can do so with creativity and flair.
