Outline Tattoos

Chantel Jeffries

Chantel Jeffries has a geometric tattoo on her upper back.  The outside edge is made of overlapping triangles forming a solid black line, while the shaded dotwork interior is comprised of overlapping circles.

Both shapes are rooted in sacred geometry, the idea that certain shaped have divine meaning. The design of seven overlapping circles in a triangular lattice grid dates back thousands of years and can be seen in architecture from ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome. In modern times it has become known as the Flower of Life.

The outline of her tattoo is a Sri Yantra, a symbol which can be found in Hindu temples. The traditional symbol is made of 9 triangles in various shapes and sizes which intersect to form 43 smaller triangles. Together they represent the totality of the cosmos and the human body. Chantel’s tattoo shows only the outer edges of the shape, so some of the interior triangles aren’t shown at all in her version.

Not all Sri Yantras share the same angles, and modern day researches have put a lot of effort in to coming up with an optimal version of the symbol. The design that Chantel used has plotted to placement of the triangles based on the Flower of Life — so the two symbols in her tattoo are actually connected to each other!

Marzia Bisognin

Marzia Bisognin got three tiny tattoos on her left arm during one session in July 2015: a tree branch on her upper arm, a letter “P” in a heart on her elbow, and the word “shy” on her forearm.

The “P” is for her dog Puga, a tan pug who belongs to Marzia and her boyfriend Felix aka PewDiePie. Puga’s real name is Maya, but it seems as though they call her by the nicknames Puga and Puga-chan most of the time. Both Marzia and Felix have made YouTube videos starring Puga, who has only one eye.

In an instagram post, she wrote: “It was extremely hard to get a picture with all 3 but I think I’ve managed to: the one on top is a minimal twig; the heart is on the side and has a “P” for Puga-can inside of it; the last one is on the back of the arm and reads “shy”, which is the more meaningful one, although they are all special to me. Please know that leaving rude comments won’t make me stop, as I explained many times tattoos are something I enjoy. :)” (more…)
