Just a little correction: Ötzi wasn't found in the Swiss Alps, he was found in the Ötztal Alps (that's where he got his nickname from) which are located at the border between Austria and Italy.
@@SG-zp4fz I meant that I was imaging Ötzie was his name back then that the other ancient people called him. It's ridiculous when I think about it lmao
I have almost exclusively ornamental tattoos! Growing up in New Zealand I always admired Ta Moko and traditional Polynesian tattoo culture although being Pakeha (of European decent) I did not feel like it was culturally appropriate to get traditional pieces from these cultures. I have Tukutuku patterns that are traditionally not seen in Ta Moko, patterns drawn by Maori artists, a topographic map sleeve of Te Henga, and native Manuka flowers done in a very graphic way to name a few. You should 100% do a video on Maori Tattoo culture it has such a rich history and there is a real comeback of the younger generation of Wahine (Women) getting traditional Moko face tattoos, I think your American viewers would find it really interesting . We are one of the most Tattooed nations in the world and it's widely accepted and respected here!
@@laurianed5394 Modern Ta Moko are often seen in a sleeve and tell the story of your family history and where your tribe is from. So for me I chose to get a topographic map sleeve of Te Henga (Bethells Beach) which tells the story of a piece of land that has been in my family for years with the topographic lines reference linework seen in Ta Moko. Te Henga has a number of archaeological sites important to the Maori people of the area so it seemed fitting and was designed as a 21st present by my father, I often get compliments from Maori and Pacifica people on this piece so it is very special to me. The artist 'Manawa Tapu' is worth checking out on Instagram, I have work from him using Poutama Patterns which are traditionally seen in weaving not tattoos and also have linework drawings from the artist Ralph Hotere, who is widely regarded as the most important Maori artist of the 20th century.
I really do think these are pleasing to look at and the artists have a ton of talent. I just see sooooo many artists doing similar sacred geometry/mandala designs these days that it's hard for me to imagine a future where we don't look back on this trend as being this generation's 90s tribal tattoos. ✍
I have an abstract tattoo on my back that fits in with the flow of my spine (I have scoliosis so it's curvy) and I've never thought of it as ornamental before, but this video opened my eyes!
Love watching these, I always walk away learning something new. I forget I have a Celtic blackwork design that's about 11 years old. I was first drawn to this style of tattooing, but not so much anymore. Still appreciate this amazing art style though
4:04 so cool to see Mel here :) she does great handpoke stuff and a lot of traditional croatian / bosnian (hand) tattoos. I'd love to travel to paris next year and get a traditional hand tattoo for my father's heritage from her, maybe in combination with a realistic b&g flower. Your chest tattoo looks so fitting and beautiful :)
I just got some ornamental accents in a recent tattoo and completely love it! I know it can be trendy and overdone but there are ways to use them and make them unique too
Your ornamental tattoo is probably the coolest tattoo I've ever seen. The placement is perfect on you!!!! It makes me really want to get one on my arm where I have super prominent veins. Seems like something I won't get bored of 😂 I get bored with things really easily. Wish I could get tattooed by Nanai. I don't have any. Yours has inspired me. I think about it a lot 😂💀
I just got an ornamental piece on my shin. Its pretty! I want to add more color in the future but we shall see. The next place I'm going to tattoo is my knee and I'm not looking forward to it 😬
Ornamental tattoos, especially Slavic are every popular here in Poland - also because they are usually bigger and bolder as well linework-wise. I love them and would like to get one in the future
I would love to know more about this! I'm a 3rd gen Polish American and have always wanted to get something done to highlight that. Like most Polish Americans I was raised to have a strong pride to where my family came from
I absolutely love this style . I don’t have many tattoos yet , but if I got a full or partial bodysuit one day (after using the real estate on my other wish list tattoos ) it would be in this style . I love yours ❤
✍️ really cool video! Never thought of getting a tattoo like that it’s definitely done. I couldn’t imagine the hours it would take to finish a piece like that.
Wonderful!! Thank you so much for making this video!! I have been busting out some cybertech ornamental flash of my own lately ✍️ Hoping to apprentice under one of two separate ornamental tattoo artists here in Asheville.
✍ Thank you for this video! I love watching all of your videos, they're always so well researched and informative. I absolutely love the idea of ornamental tattoos (and I think the one you got suits you so well!). They're so perfect in so many ways. Would you be able to please do a video on as many different styles of "healed results" as possible? I'm always interested in seeing healed work after a year or two since I've learned that certain line/dot styles lend themselves to better results than others.
You should check out my country, philippines, history of tattooing from the northern part (whang od, still living) and the pintados. Tattoo on men represent strength in combat and their death counts. The more tattoos the stronger (facial tattoos are for the few). Women can have tattoos for sex appeal. We have a rich history of this.
Omg thank you! I have been trying to find artists who could do a tattoo based on jewelry found at the Sutton Hoo burial. I research Old English literature and history and I want to celebrate the art of that period. Anyway I couldn't figure out what the term would be for this type of tattoo art! So thanks!
Just fyi, at 10:48 you mention the kabbalah faith, but kabbalah is actually a mystical branch of judiasm, not it's own faith. A lot of the beliefs and practices have been integrated into mainstream judiasm
Didnt they also find in the last several years an "ice maiden" with tattoos? Have developed a huge love for this style. Trying to figure out designs that are not cultural appropriation (or ones that belong to my ancestry) has been daunting due to lack of easily found or confusing information. Getting to a point its like, screw it because everythings so muddled because of migration, "copied" or similar in ways that as long as its not obviously a style that belongs to a specific culture i am not part of it shouldnt be an issue
Has anyone seen a trend of black dots/circles in ornemental work ? like thick black dots. I’ve seen them a lot and idk if it’s trendy atm or has been around for a while
I feel like ornamental tattoos make more sense conceptually as tattoos than super hyper realistic tattoos. Like sure, those are impressive but ornamental tattoos are made to fit the body, just by nature of their concept
There's also Jewish ornamentalism that has become popular with Jewish tattoo artists. There's a belief that all parts of worship should be as beautiful and ornamental as possible. So it makes sense that Jewish tattoos would be too!

Thanks for the correction I appreciate that I didn’t know!
And we have a weird statue in the town depicting ya boi (his mummy) as well
I'm so dumb. My brain was imagining that was just his name, and I didn't question that at all xD
@@endieisded we did name him that

Wow, I would love to learn more about Maori tattoo culture (and also how you got inspired maori tattoos without appropriating this culture)!

ornamental tattoos have really caught my eye recently and ive totally fallen in love with them! cant wait to get some!

True- and so many people get the mandala/sacred geometry type tattoos very large
Well now. I am officially obsessed with ornamental tattoos. They look SO good!
Omg I’m blown away by Vale Lovette!! Absolutely beautiful!
I have an abstract tattoo on my back that fits in with the flow of my spine (I have scoliosis so it's curvy) and I've never thought of it as ornamental before, but this video opened my eyes!
I'm leaning towards this style of tattooing for my first piece in the future.

Nissaco is by far the best tattoo artist out there
is Ryan Ashley in the ornament category? her designs are to die for
Check out Kenji Alucky's work. His geometrical sleeves are truly unique.
✍️ good stuff
I'm thinking about getting ornamental shin pieces with patterns from the region my family's from

are Ryan Ashleys tattoos considered ornamental?
