Deep stuff, we know. But it’s in the nature of the design. For example, the different shapes found in geometry represent the different elements of the universe, like wind and fire. We also often see animals, like the wise owl, incorporated into geometric designs. Having the tattoo mirrored and symmetrical stands for having balance and harmony in life. Just look at the popular mandala design, which has transcended its origins as a religious symbol in Hinduism. The lines and shapes have to be precise and sharp, often with continuity and repetition, and these reasons are also why geometric tats are so pleasing to the eye. Even though they’re just lines and shapes, there are seemingly countless geometric designs. They can be as minimal or maximal as we want. We put together 50 stunning geometric tattoos that not only make us totally zen, but also ready to get inked ourselves. tattooadore/Instagram More from CafeMom: 30 Brilliant Tattoo Ideas for Moms Who Want to Get Inked More from CafeMom: 23 Perfectly Tiny Tattoos That Can Be Covered or Shown at Will More from CafeMom: 50 Majorly Cool & Tiny Micro Tattoos More from CafeMom: 32 Matching Couple Tattoos to Share Forever & Ever More from CafeMom: 20 Heartfelt Tattoos That Make Us Wanna Fall in Love More from CafeMom: 24 Hip Tattoos So Stunning We Can’t Help But Stare More from CafeMom: 16 Epic Best Friend Tattoos for Women & Their Soul Sisters More from CafeMom: 50 Inspiring Quote Tattoos That Aren’t Cheesy More from CafeMom: People Are Tattooing Their Zodiac Signs Like Freckles & It’s So Cute More from CafeMom: 15 Raw Birth Photos That Capture Tattooed Moms In All Their Glory More from CafeMom: 20 Matching Tattoos Sisters Can Get Together More from CafeMom: 25 Wedding Band Tattoos for Truly Committed Couples
