What makes all of these pieces of blackwork geometry stand out from the crowd is the incredible precision and level of detail that each of these artists puts into their work. The amount of control that they exercise is almost as impressive as the resulting body art. Aside from the utter perfection of each of these pieces, it is also remarkable just how individualized each one of these tattooists aesthetic appears. Though they all work in the same genre as each other, you can pretty much tell whose work is whose just by glancing at these sleeves, which just goes to show what a versatile this monochromatic style is.

Though the pieces here that feature incredibly varied geometric patterns, like Chaim Machlev's, and even a few mind-bending optical illusions, as seen in Lewis Ink's, are beyond spectacular in their own right, the ones with sacred geometry are the most profound. The sleeves here by Dillon Forte, Otheser, Kirk Nilsen, Nissaco, for instance, all contain at least one mandala if not several interlinking ones. For as riveting as all complex blackwork geometry is, the ones that have this spiritual side to them are by far the most captivating. There's something incredibly moving about looking at these inky portrayals of the cosmos.
