Ornamental & Geometric
The style I classify as ornamental heavily ripen lies upon the artwork used in the practice of henna. Henna can be recognized for its delicate and detailed line work and illustrative and graphic interpretations of feminine florals, swirls and dots and other intricate patterns. Ornamental tattoos often have a "lacy" or "jewelry like" look. They have ornate flowing patterns and graphic jewel or floral motifs married with decorative patterning. Flowers, jewels and Mandalas are a very popular components of ornamental work.
Geometric could be classified as "Contemporary Tribal". Sometimes the patterns and shapes have meaning, a lot of the time people choose Shapes and patterns simply because they look good and the aesthetic for aesthetic's sake, composed in a dynamic way or configuration over the human body in a way that celebrated the structure underneath the skin. Geometric tattoos adorn the form that they are infused upon. Mandalas and patterns, line work, texture and optical illusion are big players in this style.
