Good to know
How does geometry stay symmetrical on the body?
Skin is not flat, so a straight line on the arm becomes a curve. That is why our Artists do not lay out geometric designs on a screen but on the body: the design is applied as a stencil, checked in motion and often redrawn by hand until the lines look straight from every angle. With patterns that wrap around the arm or leg, the transition at the back is what counts. So allow a little more time for the drawing-on, which with Geometric is the key part of the appointment.
What is Dotwork and when does it fit?
Dotwork fills areas with individual dots instead of gradients. The denser the dots, the darker the area. It suits Geometric because it does not disturb the clean line and still adds depth. Typical uses are gradients in triangles, shadows behind lines or whole areas in dots. Dotwork takes time, every dotted area is placed individually, but in return it holds very evenly and over the years takes on a soft, almost drawn look.
How small can a geometric tattoo be?
Single shapes, a triangle, a circle, a hexagon, can be done small. As soon as lines run parallel or cross, they need space, otherwise they merge after a few years. Patterns with several layers, Dotwork gradients or fine grids are planned by our Artists from hand size upwards. The rule is simple: the more lines, the more area. In the consultation we show you, using healed work, what size your design needs.
Combine Geometric with Mandala or Blackwork?
They are close relatives. A mandala is essentially geometry with ornament, Blackwork is geometry with solid areas. Many of our pieces combine all three: a mandala as the centre, geometric lines as a frame, black areas as contrast. Geometric around a realistic design works too, if the lines give the design room. Bring your ideas, and we will suggest an Artist who plans the combination as a whole.
What the price depends on
Geometric is precision work: the more lines, intersections and Dotwork areas, the longer the appointment. Drawing on the body takes more time in this style than in others, because that is the only place symmetry is created. Large patterns around the arm or leg are spread over several sessions. Your Artist sets the price after the free consultation.

“I was ‘only’ there to accompany my cousin, but even I felt completely at ease from the start. The atmosphere was super relaxed, warm and professional. They took a lot of time, explained everything calmly and responded to her wishes. […] Absolutely recommended. (Translated from German)”

Lorena · Customer reviewFrequently asked questions
Can Geometric be done in colour?
Yes, usually as a few clear areas of colour within a black line framework. But the style lives from contrast, so most pieces stay black.
Which placements suit geometric patterns?
Forearm and upper arm for wraparound patterns, chest and back for symmetrical compositions, thigh for large areas. Our placement pages show how sensitive each area is.
How long does a Geometric tattoo take?
Single shapes in one appointment, wraparound patterns with Dotwork in two or more sessions. Your Artist plans the order with you.
Consultation by video, payment in instalments?
Both are possible. Show us the placement on camera and we discuss size and Artist. Some of our Artists offer payment in instalments, usually via PayPal or Klarna. Whether they do, on what terms and over what period is decided by the Artist, who will tell you in the consultation. The studio is not involved. More on this under Payment in instalments.
