When you wing a 12 minute presentation on a topic that takes 1 minute to explain...
Everyone in the comments is giving this guy shit for over-explaining or talking nonsense, whilst using elaborate vocabulary...as if he has no real intelligence in what he is saying. I have to disagree entirely, I was really impressed with all he had to say. There wasn't one part I didn't understand, he is very clear in my opinion, very perceptive and artistic. I hope whoever reads this, opens their mind and gives what he has to say a chance, before scrolling and reading anymore negative comments. He has obviously evolved his style of tattooing, since he himself was tattooed, and is well-informed of both the craft itself and the concepts of scared geometry/symbolic tattooing in general. One particular aspect of his approach, I was really impressed with, was his dedication to connecting with the piece/s he tattoos on his clients. He understands that his intentions and theirs need to find understanding in order for the art to convey it's purpose/true symbolism, as well as look it's best. We need more artists like this, the body is scared and should be honoured, valued and adorned if one wishes. What a cool, dude.
Dude was extremely passionate and maybe a little nervous. I really appreciate him taking the time to share his perspective.
He gave me anxiety I understood his train of thought and what he was saying but omg

i love him omg. everything he explained about sacred geometry makes total sense. its a tough concept to put words too, but he explained everything spot on. such a cool vibe. i am beyond inspired. what a great role model . i hope to do spiritual tattoos one day.
I thought he was actually pretty articulate and I found what he said really interesting. Yes, maybe there were some off-topic points but at the end of the day I finished the video more educated about the history of sacred geometry as an artistic style, the social connotations behind it, the mathematical background and the reasoning behind why he does what he does. Not exactly sure what people were expecting from this. I learned some stuff that I didn't necessarily anticipate learning. How is that a bad thing? That's just my 2 cents.
“Growing up in Berkeley, and all these books” pretty much explains it all 😭 real bay shit
I guess I'm the only one who understood what this guy was saying? I'm not saying he has fluent speech, but I understood all the concepts coming out of his mouth. Perhaps if you know nothing about sacred geometry this could be confusing, but I imagine most people watching this video are interested. Maybe not?

@Inked This style reminds me of the Thai sacred tattoos. It's traditional and can be dated back for thousands of years. This kind of tattoos is believed to give magical abilities to the person, e.g. protection against sharp objects or bad luck. I think it's really interesting... Maybe you should check it out a bit.
Pretty much fits the stereo type of someone I would think of being a sacred geometry expert

@@dogsconkers tribal tattoos which were meant to seem badass and edgy don't really translate to the representation of sacred geometry, which is more about complete oneness passed' the physical limitations of the human body. If it looks repetitive, it's because it displays the innermost basic signs, symbolizing the underlying geometric patterns found throughout our universe. Everything in life is made out of patterns, even our brains are machines designed to recognize paterns. There's some basic patterns that morph into every other thing that exists; That's the point of sacred geometry, like the flower of life or metatrons cube for e.g. Everything is patterns, everything is one. To me, that's the beautiful thing about sacred geometry. From there, to actually executing the tattoo right is a different story.
It's a common misconception that our bodily proportions and loads of things found in nature conform to the golden mean/ratio, the fact he hasn't even bothered to research that just tells you he's talking rubbish.

bigzcuz it totally does, sacred geometry with colour gradients looks amazing
In layman's terms: sacred geometry is taking practically anything and somehow trying to over lay or allude to the fact that it's somehow tied to the golden ratio. The problem here is he clearly doesn't even know what the golden ratio actually is. I can easily take my iPad draw a geometric design, overlay it on a drawing of a person in a cool yoga pose, add some planets and straight lines for flow and boom I've designed "Sacred Geometry". He should look into Islamic geometry and how it's used in their designs and then come back to this. Or study the design of churches etc.
Everybody acting like he's supposed to be the spokesperson for sacred geometry/ that whole culture. If this is ur first time hearing abt this stuff and the culture behind it then maybe u should take some time to realize ur listening to a tattoo artist not a historian/philosopher. He's interested in that stuff on the side, not as his primary focus and therefore wont be able to articulate it as easily, especially this topic considering its one of the most complicated ideas available to man (the literal nature of the observable and unobservable universe ). So instead of making a smartass comment making fun of how illogical or crazy it sounds, maybe u should make a better effort to try and understand it before making a judgment. I mean if u think this is enough information to make a judgment on a entire topic (let alone one as dense as this) then I think its safe to say you're coming from a place of arrogance. Its just funny to see ppl dismiss things/ideas they haven't even tried to understand, too many people think they know everything and honestly they're usually the ones who know the least
Cool dude! Thank you!
Cool I'm glad someone is bring this to the tattoo public I have never had a tattoo do to not liking it later but I do want to get my head Done .
