Abstract

Tattoo Style

Abstract art is defined as “art that does not attempt to represent external reality, but seeks to achieve its effect using shapes, forms, colors, and textures”. Do you lean more to the creative or artistic side? Then why not consider going with an abstract tattoo style.

While abstract designs are fun to look at, their best feature can be found with their hidden meaning. Abstract tattoos are ideal for the non-conformists who seek to bring something new to the table. They can be incredibly beautiful and can also have symbolic meaning, just like regular tattoos. However, their meaning is often unclear and up to interpretation and that is part of their appeal.

Abstract tattoos, in turn, are extremely diverse and offer ample room for experimentation. They may represent familiar shapes and objects, or else appear completely detached from reality. A talented artist is capable of creating abstract tattoos that are fascinating in their individuality and complexity. They can make you look twice and puzzle over their meaning. Some abstract tattoos have no meaning at all, and are simply intended to dazzle or perplex the viewer.

So, if you’re in the market for a totally unique tattoo and like modern art, an abstract tattoo may be just what you’re looking for.
