The Best Geometric Tattoos for Men - Men’s Blackwork Geometric Tattoo
This clever geometric sleeve tattoo is called “Chaos and Order.” The interlocked hexagons on the client’s forearm represent order, while the unruly mix of black and negative space patterns and ink scrawls make up the chaos component. I like the idea and execution of this design.

3D Geometric Star Tattoo on Man’s Chest
This geometric star tattoo design features excellent application. The artist has crafted a 3D effect by combining black ink, gray stipple shading, and negative space within each bar. I also like the tattoo’s placement at the edge of the client’s chest, just below the collarbone.

3D Endless Knot Back Tattoo
This exciting full-back tattoo features a stylized, 3D, unending knot partway between the traditional Eastern endless knot and the smoother Celtic knot. The design is given a grid paper effect by utilizing a lattice of untattooed space. The piece then radiates outward in tight, gradient-shaded circles from the center, interspersed with rays of clean skin. I like the choice of Japanese-style filler, which complements the central knot and ties the tattoo off at either end of his back.

Men’s 3D Geometric Full Back Tattoo
This is an extraordinary front tattoo piece (even more so because it was the client’s first ever). It uses various shading tones and offsetting effects to create a tattoo design mixing sacred geometry, ornamental patterns, and a looping circular spiral around a negative space hexagon. This is masterful work!

Schematic Geometric Face and Repeating Shape Tattoo
This beautiful full-back tattoo is a mesmerizing mixture of design application techniques. The central piece is a large-scale technical grid of a woman’s face. Surrounding the face are numerous 3D shapes – a hexagon, a star tetrahedron, a cube, and triangles – repeating circular patterns, and a repeating eye crafted to make a fantastic optical illusion running from the right shoulder to the left pelvic bone.

Men’s Two-Tone Geometric Chest and Arm Tattoo
This man’s geometric sleeve tattoo adds bright red ink to more predominant shades of gray through black. The piece offers a range of geometric shapes, including numerous 3D images, floral patterns, and a unique mandala contrasted by negative space, light gray ink, and black piping.
Blackwork Geometric Hand Tattoos for Men
Hand tattoos are challenging for both the artist and the client, and geometric patterns are even more difficult (to hold ink and keep vivid as they age). This pair of matching hand tattoos uses bold black ink filled with negative space shapes that should hold up well over time.

Geometric Blackwork Bodysuit Tattoo
In Japanese tattoos, a bodysuit featuring the back and buttocks is called a “senaka” tattoo (the arms were done separately). While not Japanese in style, this man’s piece offers a kaleidoscope of geometric patterns – beehive hexagons, cubes, repeating linework patterns and curves, and even a few optical illusions. This is captivating, highly skilled, blackwork tattooing, balancing creativity with mathematics.

Wolf and Geometry Sleeve Tattoo
This sleeve design is called “Wolf Ascension” and features a realistic animal tattoo in traditional black and gray surrounded by colorful geometric patterns. It’s a four-year-old tattoo in this picture, which means it has held up beautifully. I especially like the depth of color in the gold-orange linework and circles.

3D Geometric Men’s Blackwork Tattoo
This leg sleeve tattoo demonstrates how the body under the ink is vital to tattoo delivery. The artist’s understanding of how best to combine the repeating patterns and help them flow provides a natural shape for the tattoo. This body art runs across the leg from right to left, following the arrows of negative space as they’re presented between blocks of blank ink and gray stipple-shading.
Full Sleeve Men’s Geometric Tattoo
This right-arm tattoo uses tremendously applied gray stipple-shading as a feature. This technique creates subtle ink shades that contrast varying thicknesses of negative space line art in a series of mosaic tile effects from shoulder to wrist.

I love the combination of bold black ink neo-traditional jaguar – symbolizing bravery, strength, and determination – below a three-tiered geometric design cleverly filling the area between shoulders and neck. The piece showcases masterful precision and stylistic versatility.

Neo-Tribal Geometric Bodysuit Tattoo
This is an epic back, buttocks, and thighs tattoo using only bold black ink contrasted with negative space. Wherever you look, there’s a line, shape, or section devoted to a stand-alone geometric concept or repeating series of patterns. This new take on tribal art tradition will become more widespread as clients and artists develop their ideas into fully-fledged works of body art.

Colorful Tiger and Sacred Geometry Chest Tattoo
I love this triangular chest tattoo’s color contrasts and placement featuring a neo-traditional tiger flanked by geometric patterns. The big cat’s vibrant color pop provides an exceptional central image that allows the stipple-shading of the shapes and designs to contrast against large black ink and negative space dividers. I also like aqua blue tiger eyes and how they match the blue ink wash at either end of the piece.

Men’s Ornamental Geometric Sleeve Tattoo
This arm sleeve tattoo uses a tremendous combination of ornamental patterns in black and gray ink. I particularly enjoy the feature discs on the elbow and upper arm. They use circular, solid ink borders to stand out from the other patterns. I also like how the new work grows around the pre-existing flower piece in his forearm.

Ornamental Geometric Men’s Tattoo
In a globalized world, we’re exposed to more philosophies and religions than in times past. It’s partly why tattoos are more popular than ever before in history.

This single-needle calf tattoo features numerous images inked along a straight black line. I like the crisp, clean designs, demonstrating the artist’s excellent technique and attention to detail. While I would have placed the design somewhere else, such as the arm or along the side, the piece fits nicely on the back of the client’s leg.

Blackwork Negative Space Full Back Tattoo
This fantastic tattoo combines blackout tattooing with negative space to create an image reminiscent of Gothic cathedrals. The central ring’s floral geometry has been created with alternating stipple shading and negative space shapes to depict an outstanding design that transitions into patterned filler for the rest of the client’s back.

Sacred geometry tattoos are inspired by ancient mathematical and geometric principles with profound spiritual significance.
This sacred geometry upper body suit has been crafted over an extended period (the client visited from Australia). The tattoo is a work of precise detail, symmetry, and masterful use of shading, patterns, and black ink to create designs incorporating the germ of life, the flower of life, and repeating hexagon patterns.

Colorful Fine Line Geometric Tattoo
I like the subtle palette used in this effective geometric forearm tattoo.

It uses crisp linework with elegant offsetting dot shading to give the shape a tinge of filling.

Hexagon and Cube Men’s Forearm Tattoo
This geometric design combining a central cube amidst hexagon patterns has been crafted using only a dotwork application (no auto dotwork, just millions of dots). The concentration needed to create a tattoo in this fashion is remarkable. The precise design makes a wonderfully layered mix of gray shades, dark lines, and negative space borders.

This pair of forearm tattoos joins the themes of heart and brain to make the concept of “Infinity.” The single needle piece demonstrates mastery of fine-line tattooing techniques that bring out the best in the clever concept. The designs feature a mix of geometric shapes and patterns combined with physical, mystical, scientific, and holistic themes in their wonderful delivery.
