Geometric Tattoos: Sacred Geometry for Your Skin

Sacred geometry by @delvirus

Tattoo trends come and go, but geometric tattoos, often called sacred geometry tattoos, have taken the tattoo world by storm. These challenging and beautiful tattoos require a nearly inhuman level of precision from the artist, but the results speak for themselves. Geometric tattoos often take inspiration from famous designs such as the nautilus shell, Metatron’s Cube, or the Flower of Life. These associations with famous geometrical designs and the meaning behind those designs has led to the term “sacred geometry tattoos.” While these designs have been used for centuries in all sorts of mediums, their increased popularity in tattooing today is likely due to Instagram and its increased influence in the world of tattoos.

Geometric tattoos offer a beautiful, timeless look that offers a feeling of connection to the world and the ancient mathematics that define it. Regardless of your religion or philosophy, sacred geometry tattoos offer a universal appeal that feels meaningful. Whether you’re inclined toward the body’s 7 chakras or the natural beauty of the nautilus shell, sacred geometry tattoos might be a great fit for you.
