What is the Ornamental Tattoo Style?

Updated on May 26, 2021

An Ornamental tattoo style has been growing in popularity more recently. These tattoos are considered attractive, beautiful, and artistic. This style of tattooing combines two different patterns to create an interesting look that can be viewed from any angle. The two patterns that are combined are mandala and geometric. This style of tattooing uses a design that dates all the way back to the Roman Empire. This design is seen in the floral and leaf patterns found in furniture and walls. In some cultures, ornaments were considered to be a sign of social status and prosperity. These ornaments helped to increase the beauty of women and men. As a result, ornamental tattoos are beautiful and highly detailed.

It is believed that the first tattooed human lived about 5,000 years ago. Their tattoos were for therapeutic reasons. They had patterns of crosses and dots on specific parts of the body that seemed to be intended to reduce pain for that body part. About a thousand years later, tattoos began to slowly morph from therapeutic to esthetic purposes. Mummies were found from that time period and they had delicate lines and patterns on their bodies. It seems these tattoos were used to adorn their bodies to make them beautiful just as much as they were used as an amulet. Today, tattoos are more for esthetics than anything else. People are using them to tell stories. There is usually some meaning behind every tattoo each person has. It may be a memory, an event, or a deep concept but there is always a reason.

The ornamental type of tattoo is particularly popular with women and is often found on their wrist, arms, neck, and back of the neck. They are often combined with floral or dot work tattoo styling. They are typically done in black ink. While some are intricate designs, others are more basic. When it comes to ornamental tattoos, it is often more important where they are placed than it is the intricacy of the design. If you are interested in a bold design in black in that you want placed in a particular area, then an ornamental tattoo style may just be the right one for you. When seeking this type of tattoo style, you want to make sure you find someone with experience creating these types of tattoos. You will have a better experience and be more pleased with the outcome when you choose someone with a fair amount of experience.
