Geometric Wildlife tattoos are one of the few styles that fully capture the beauty of simplicity. This emerging style combines inspiring imagery from the natural world with simple, flowing shapes – creating something that gives tattoo enthusiasts the best of both worlds.
Geometric tattoos have been steadily growing in popularity due to their unique look and emphasis on natural imagery. It was only a matter of time before this combined with the symbolism of wild animals. This style also has ancient connections, which carries a spiritual weight of its own. However, the mixture of wildlife and geometry gives the style a few life and allows artists to break away from mandalas and cubes – which have become commonplace in this style.
The combination of geometric wildlife tattoos features perfect symmetry and crisp shapes that work together to create a single, balanced image.
This unique style showcases the pack-nature of wolves by emphasizing similar shapes within each portrait. Without relying on traditional black outlines, the naturally occurring shapes create a stunning, non-traditional geometric tattoo.
