Geometric Tattoo Style: The Art of Precision

What sets this style apart is the incredible precision and attention to detail it demands. Geometric tattoos often involve intricate linework, perfect symmetry, and a deep understanding of shapes, patterns, and spatial balance.

At Thirteen Feet Tattoo, we also incorporate elements of dotwork, blackwork, patternwork, and ornamental styles — adding bold contrast, soft gradients, or decorative flourishes to elevate each piece. These techniques complement geometric foundations beautifully, creating tattoos that are both mathematically precise and artistically expressive.

When done right, geometric tattoos can be a stunning display of creativity and control. Some popular shapes and themes include:

Triangles

Triangles are a popular choice in geometric tattoos due to their multifaceted symbolism. They can represent balance and change. The three sides of a triangle can be seen as past, present, and future, making it a meaningful choice for those who seek balance in their tattoo art.

Squares

Squares symbolise stability and order. These shapes can be found in numerous geometric tattoo designs, especially among those who appreciate structure and precision in their ink.

Circles

In geometric tattoos, circles can evoke a sense of completeness and the cyclical nature of life. Many individuals choose circular geometric designs to express that all things come full circle, and they find harmony within this notion.

Hexagons

These six-sided shapes offer a unique canvas for creativity in geometric tattooing. Hexagon tattoos often attract those who appreciate complexity and symmetry in their ink.

There’s also a lot of creativity in this style, allowing multiple design geometric tattoo ideas alternatives; geometric tattoos can be complemented with other styles such as Watercolour, Tribal, Blackwork, Dotwork, Abstract concept and Mandala tattoos, ending in a special piece of art.

From Vision To Design

One of the most fantastic aspects of geometric tattoo design is its versatility. The design possibilities are endless. Whether you have a specific idea or want our artists to develop a unique concept for you, our team can work closely with our clients to ensure that the final design reflects their personality and style.

You can customise every aspect, from the size and complexity of the design to the choice of geometric patterns. Your tattoo will be as unique as you are.

Where to Ink Your Geometric Tattoo

This style can be adapted to various body areas, but some locations work exceptionally well. For a bold and eye-catching statement, consider your forearm or thigh. If you prefer a more discreet approach, the collarbone or wrist can be the perfect choice.

However, it's essential to avoid body areas with frequent movement or bending, such as the elbows or knees, as this can distort the geometric patterns over time. If you're uncertain about the ideal placement for your tattoo -we’ve got you - our experienced tattoo artist can assist you in selecting the perfect option to your preferences.

Aftercare Tips: Keeping Your Tattoo Vibrant

Congratulations on your new tattoo! To ensure it looks radiant and retains its vibrancy for years to come, proper aftercare is vital. Follow these essential steps recommended by your tattoo artist:

Cleaning:
- Remove the plastic wrap 1-4 hours after getting inked.
- Wash your tattoo with clean hands in warm, running water and use an unscented soap.
- Gently clean away any residue, plasma, or dried blood to ensure thorough cleaning.
- Pat it lightly with a paper towel or a clean towel and allow it to air dry.

Moisturizing:
- Apply a thin layer of your preferred aftercare cream.
- We recommend Inky Tattoo Salve for its healing properties.
- You can also use Bepanthen Antiseptic Cream, commonly available at most pharmacies.
- Avoid overloading your tattoo with a thick layer of cream, as excessive moisture can impede the healing process.

Maintenance:
- Clean your tattoo gently in the morning and at night or as needed.
- Apply aftercare cream directly afterwards.
- We recommend following this routine twice a day to keep your tattoo properly moisturised.

Sun Protection:
- Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, as it can cause the ink to fade.
- Use sunscreen or protective clothing when heading outside.

Swimming:
- Avoid swimming in pools and hot tubs until your tattoo is fully healed.

*Your tattoo will take 2-4 weeks to heal completely, but it's important to note that individual healing times may vary. By following these aftercare steps, you'll ensure that your new tattoo not only heals beautifully but also maintains its radiant appearance over time.
