What is ornamental tattoo?
Ornamental is a tattoo style inspired by jewellery, lace, sacred geometry and classical decoration. It relies on symmetry, dotwork, linework and ornaments that follow the body's anatomy.
Ornamental pieces are often symmetric, highly precise and flow-aware. They work especially well on the chest, sternum, spine and forearms.
Examples
- Mandala on the sternum
- Ornamental sleeve with dotwork jewellery motifs
- Spine piece mimicking lace
