Flowing by Design

There’s a certain kind of tattoo that isn’t meant to be a picture of anything in particular. It’s not a flower, a skull, or a portrait. Instead, it’s a design that moves with the curves of the body. A design that feels like it was always meant to be there.

These ornamental and flow-based tattoos are less about representing an object and more about enhancing the form of the person wearing them. They highlight motion, balance, and symmetry. They can sweep around the hip, follow the ribs softly, or flow down the spine like a ribbon.

Often, people assume that if a tattoo isn’t a recognizable image, it must not have a meaning. But the truth is every tattoo means something, because you will always remember where you were and what emotions you felt when you decided to get the project done.

The meaning is in the decision to get it.
It’s in the growth, the change, the time in someone’s life when they chose to mark themselves in a way that felt right to them, even if they couldn’t explain it in words.

A tattoo does not need a picture to explain itself. Sometimes the memory is the entire story.
