Abstract Tattoos Real Body Art

Abstract tattoos often blur the line and transform tattooing from simple permanent markings on the body to a full-fledged art form. Tattooing as an art form started to emerge in the late 20th century and became popularized throughout the early 21st century. The advancement of technology led to tattoo equipment that is much easier to use, more convenient, quicker and much less painful. The development of new methods of making pigment has allowed tattoo artists to be more creative in their work. These talented individuals are able to create rich, colorful and elaborate tattoo designs that have turned abstract tattoos into true body art.

Modern art movements greatly influence the designs of tattoos. Many tattoo artists have backgrounds in the fine arts and are technically trained bringing with them a wealth of artistic knowledge and expertise to the tattoo industry. Abstract art especially has had a strong influence on tattooing as is evidenced by the rich and extravagant tattoo designs created by artists. Some wearers view themselves as human canvases and seek out talented tattoo artists who are willing to transform their skin into a living work of art. It often covers the person`s entire body into a beautiful, abstract masterpiece of body art.

Sometimes abstract tattoos are also referred to as tribal tattoos. This should however not be confused with traditional tribal art and tribal markings that were worn by tribes and clans to identify themselves and distinguish themselves from each other. These markings and tattoos often served a specific purpose. The chieftains of many tribes wore elaborate tattoos on exposed parts of their skin which told stories about their lives. These were often about their strength and prowess or leadership and conquest of other tribes. For tribes who valued warriors and battle, abstract tattoos also served as a form of intimidation to their enemies.

Another abstract design that is a very popular tattoo is that of the triquetra. It is depicted as a symbol with three pointed intersecting ovals that together form a triangle. The symbol is also associated with Christianity and is found as an icon used throughout the Book of Kells. In Christianity it represents the Holy Trinity but its existence predates this religious concept. The symbol has been found on early Germanic coins and runestones in Northern Europe. In modern context the triquetra is often used to display identification with Celtic culture.
