Crystal Tattoo Photo #6799

Different crystals have different associations: quartz for clarity and amplification, amethyst for intuition and calm, rose quartz for love, obsidian for protection. You don't need to believe in crystal healing to appreciate the aesthetic-the geometric facets and light-catching shapes make striking tattoo designs.

Inspired by jewelry, architecture, and textile patterns, ornamental tattoos create intricate, decorative compositions on the skin. Precision and symmetry are key, giving these pieces an almost meditative quality.

Forearm tattoos benefit from a natural canvas that follows the arm's long shape. Designs can wrap around the arm or sit on the inner or outer surface, giving flexibility in how the tattoo is displayed.
