Questions
What types of geometric pattern tattoos are there?
There are symmetrical patterns like mandalas, and patterns with overlapping lines. Many works are also drawn using dotwork, where shading (bokashi) is created with varying densities of dots. You can also find works that combine geometric patterns with the outlines of flowers or animals.
Which body parts are suitable for geometric patterns?
You can find works that wrap around cylindrical body parts like arms and legs, or symmetrical designs on the back and chest. Since straight lines and circles appear differently on the body's curves, you should discuss the placement, including how it fits the body part, with the artist.
How should I choose an artist for geometric patterns?
This motif easily reveals the precision of the shapes in the work, such as the straightness of lines, the uniformity of spacing, and the execution of dots. Visiting Japan? Send us your idea and dates through our booking form, and we'll match you with an artist whose work fits.
