Tattoo geometry - a description of the style, options sketches for men and girls, where to score, great photos

History and specific features of the style

The direction "Geometry" got its development in the 21st century, although figures were used in drawings before. They were used to draw Egyptian tattoos, in the triangle were depicted magical symbols or mythical animals.

Many figures of different forms are present in Scandinavian and Celtic tattoos. Celtic ornaments have survived and remained unchanged throughout history.

Initially, masters made sketches, drawing figures only of regular shapes. As the style developed as an independent movement, all sorts of figures appeared. Now they can be represented as intersections of several lines.

The stylization of animals and objects became popular, with artists often adding colored pigments. Photos of such tattoos look very original and interesting.

Among the distinctive features of the style are the following:

• The lines of the tattoo are very clear, regardless of their thickness;
• Tattoo in this style is a complete composition. It will be difficult to complement it with other tattoos in the future;
• Figures combine well with any other objects and objects, at the time of sketching the master can draw any composition;
• Images can be two-dimensional or three-dimensional;
• Lines of geometric figures are drawn with black pigment. The space may thus be empty. Adding colored pigments to the composition is allowed;
• For greater accuracy in drawing sketches use a ruler or compass.

Most customers do tattoos without meaning because they liked this or that sketch. But the figures do have meanings:

• the square in the drawings means that the owner of the tattoo is restrained and conservative, has a logical way of thinking;
• The triangle symbolizes impulsiveness, persistence, tenacity. The owner of such a pattern is often confident and assertive;
• A rectangle is a less common figure in sketches. It means that its bearer believes in a good and bright future, open to new knowledge;
• The circle is a symbol of stability, strong relationships and empathy. A person values his family and close circle of people.

Master Class "How to Draw Figures"

The simplest drawing in the style of geometry is a combination of several figures. The master, armed with a ruler and a pencil with an eraser, superimposes geometric objects on top of each other, looking for interesting combinations.

As an example, the following step by step MC:

1. On a sheet of paper draws a rectangle, one corner is down, the other two on the sides. It has another 2-3 triangles that look in the opposite direction.
2. In addition to the triangles draw a circle. It can be superimposed on the figures, the master focuses on how the entire composition will look more attractive to the customer. Next, a ruler is needed. Use it to draw lines from the corners of the triangle, they can intersect. Their direction varies according to the idea: they will converge in one point or will be drawn parallel to each other.
3. The final strokes require an eraser. In the lines of the figures make gaps, some erase completely to get the original image. The same applies to those lines that are done separately from the figures, there is room for the imagination. Having received an unusual composition, the master traces it with a black ruler.

Master class "Geometric Animal"

Any animal that the client likes is taken as a basis. Now there is a large number of wolves, foxes, crows, tigers, etc. on the Internet. Often choose the muzzle of the animal to be depicted.

Stages of drawing:

1. The master draws geometric shapes on top of the selected image. Symmetrical shapes look neater than chaotic ones. The drawing will turn out schematic.
2. The simplified image is transferred to the client's skin. Colored pigments are added to make it more expressive.

Master class "Applying a full-fledged tattoo"

To make a geometric tattoo, the master will need to find a suitable image. If necessary, the sketch is made manually, it can be created in editors for the accuracy of the lines. After printing, the future tattoo is applied to the body, adjusting the dimensions. In the editors reduce or increase the size of the picture to the desired size.

The algorithm for transferring the tattoo on the body is as follows:

1. A copy paper is attached to the sketch, outlining the picture with a pen or felt-tip pen. The coloring side of the paper is placed on top. Then it is moistened with alcohol. If it is possible to buy transfer gel, it also works well for translation.
2. The transfer paper is applied to the skin, preliminarily removing the hair from the chosen place. The drawing will print, fuzzy lines trace with a pen again. Then there is a work with a tattoo-machine: the contours are filled in, the coloring pigments are applied.

The process of creating a tattoo in the style of geometry is simplified if the master has the necessary tools. Even simple tattoos can look modern and stylish. The client will be satisfied with his original design, which will decorate his body.
