In traditional tattooing, the shapes that are used to create geometric tattoos all have meanings. These shapes are very often ones which are found in nature. Traditionally, when these shapes are placed on to certain parts of the body, they are said to promote mental and physical health, and also healing.

When you’re thinking about getting a geometric tattoo at our Melbourne tattoo studio Good Luck Tattoo, then you’re in more than capable hands. However, it is always good to have some ideas of what you want. That’s why we’ve compiled some examples of geometric tattoos, and their meanings. These include:

A Chambered Nautilus Shell Tattoo

The outer, expressed beauty of the chambered Nautilus shell is what makes this particular geometric tattoo so popular with our female clients. However, it is becoming increasingly popular with our male clientele too. The meaning behind this tattoo? It is a representation of the inner beauty that can be found in nature, as long as you are willing to look past plain, often boring, simple exteriors. The chambers of the Nautilus shell are representative of what an individual passes through as they traverse through life.

The Triangle Geometric Tattoo

There are many, many different iterations of the triangle tattoo. For those who follow the Christian faith, getting a triangle tattoo is often associated with the holy trinity. It is also used to symbolise the moon. Two overlapping triangles, when one is upside down, and the other is over the top, right the way up, is representative of the unity of life, and finding the balance within it.

The Flower Of Life Geometric Tattoo

It’s perhaps one of the most iconic and well known examples of a geometric tattoo. It allows your artists to have a point of reference from which they can create some truly majestic, beautiful, and intricate designs. It is comprised of 7 circles, and is symbolic of creation, serving as a reminder that unity is all around us, and interlaced in everything. We also have organic flower tattoo designs which could also complement your tattoo collection.

You are also able to combine geometry in a way that could turn into a minimalist tattoo design, or into a more complex & intricate tribal tattoo design.
