One of the best reasons for choosing Abstract Tattoos is their complete ability to be unique; a one of a kind tattoo. After all is that not why we wear ink in the first place, to make a statement of being different from others? With abstract tattoos you have the choice of taking a tattoo design and adding embellishments that turn the ordinary into the extraordinary! Think like Van Gogh, and add layers of abstract beauty to create unique shapes. Create your own artwork with abstract tattoos that are a visual language of color, form, and line, that show your independence from the ‘normal’ worlds perception of beauty.
Abstract Tattoos are created using distortions, vibrant bold colors, and exaggerations of other tattoos. For example, Tribal Tattoos; which are normally seen as marks of the rites of passage from stage of life to another, can become abstract tattoos when their lines are placed at odd angles instead of the perfectly geometric design they normally contain. With the addition of bright, bold colors to the normally black pattern, your abstract tattoos take on the appearance of bold artwork. Who says reality must have a single viewpoint? It is your reality, take your love of tattoos and add your own touches of off-logic construction!
People searching for geometric abstract tattoos can draw their ideas from late 19th Century modernist religious philosophy of Georges Gurdjieff. From whom great abstract painters like Piet Mondrian drew inspiration for their wonderful works of geometric abstract styles of painting. For those who are seeking their own inspiration, a look at the paintings of Wassily Kandinsky and Hilma af Klint, would be the perfect place to begin.
Abstract Tattoos are simply another way of voicing your independence from the world of commonality. While we must co-exist in this world, we can do so within our own sphere of individuality. Body art, abstract tattoos, is a wonderful way of playing the ‘game’ of life, with your own unique moves!
