Tattoo style
Abstract
Abstract tattooing works with shape, line and texture for their own sake, without depicting a recognisable subject.
Overview
About Abstract
Visual markers to recognise Abstract.
Compositions are built from brush-like marks, blocks of tone, broken lines and free geometry. Placement and flow on the body matter more than any motif.
Non-figurative
No subject to recognise: the composition is the image.
Gesture and texture
Brush-like strokes, splashes, grain and broken lines.
Free composition
Shapes follow the body rather than a frame.
