What are ornamental tattoos?
Ornamental tattooing is a style that mimics wood carving on the skin. The designs typically consist of curves, lines, spirals, crosses, or waves, intertwined in a symmetrical pattern. They are eye-catching and create a strong visual impact when done on a large scale. However, smaller designs are equally appealing when well executed.
This style of tattoo is often associated with styles like geometric. Although its origins are religious and mysterious, many people today use it as an option to highlight or beautify a part of their body, as it is a beautiful example of decorative art.
Artists who work with this technique require unparalleled precision and a great capacity for attention to detail in order to fully respect the symmetry that these designs demand.

History of ornamental tattoos
Ornamental tattooing originates, according to records, from the Roman Empire, where numerous pattern designs were created and used as decorative elements and could be found in various areas. These patterns were used on crowns, to give them a more stylized appearance, and on the tops of the pillars of the Roman Coliseum, where floral patterns and symmetrical leaf patterns were seen.
In Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel , it is possible to appreciate the ornamental art in his designs, which range from the constructed structures to elements such as upholstery, furniture, or decorative panels, among others.
Ornamental art survives through time and is incorporated into art designs with peculiar characteristics, through the creation of intricate patterns that flow beautifully over tattooed skin.
It is closely related to Gothic art , which dates back to the 12th century in France and was based on Romanesque art. Given that ornamental art has survived for over 2000 years, many artists today have chosen to specialize, creating unique designs with unparalleled finishes.
Today, this style is in high demand, especially in areas like the arms for men, or the chest and waist for women. However, it's a style that looks good on the entire body, and it's up to the artist to adapt it to the contours of the area being tattooed.
