slayer9019 Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 So it looks like I have finially decided what to finish my right calf off with. Geometric pattern style stuff. I have been lurking through some Thomas Hooper stuff and similar (propbably going with Hooper). So anyone have any good stuff to post or also what do you guys think for the space I am working with. http://kristiandmaggie.com/k/100_2291.JPG http://kristiandmaggie.com/k/100_2292.JPG please don't mind the werewolf hair or razor cuts (not very experienced at shaving my legs) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ian Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 I've been really into the geometry/3 dimensional tattoos lately. Though I'm running very low on space I'd love to be tattooed by Thomas Thomas and/or Xed Le Head. Sometimes I wonder if the more 3D ones will become the 'tribal of the 90's', I'm still diggin' it :D Unfortunately for those of us in the States, Thomas Hooper seems to be the only guy known to do it here. Here's some cool ones....

Gregor Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 I like them but its all a bit wallpapery. I think Thomas Hooper's (and Jondix for that matter) work stands out cos its more than just repetetive patterns. remindsmeofyou and Kev 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 I think it's interesting-all tattoos, art, and visual imagery are "geometric". I think that's why certain symbols like crosses,roses,skulls,anchors,etc stand out because their intrinsic nature is geometric.If you look at real tribal pattern art, the lines are representational, sometimes of abstract ideas like the Dreamtime in the Aborigines or social position in South Pacific, N. American native cultures, and early Celt/British tribal art. I think Hooper and Jondix's work standout to me because they are tuned into that frequency.

They say that the "golden ration" and certain levels of symmetry are pleasing to the human eye. When comparing work like Jondix and Hooper put out compared against the "normal" tribal stuff you can feel a big difference in the mood or idea behind it.

kylegrey Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 My personal preference is the more Polynesian influenced designs ,to me they seem more deeper rooted and likely to stand the test of time .Some of the new stuff ,although amazing is a little tripped out for me.Check out Chris Higgins at IN2U also and our fearless leader Scott has a cool pic of a chest piece .
