A curved form of the vector equilibrium which is essentially a three dimensional seed of life and one of my favourites to draw.

The star tetrahedron. Many symbols which originate from the seed of life and are inherent to six point geometry have been used by different cultures over time to represent various aspects of the divine. This symbol for example was used by early Hebrew mystics to represent the chariot seen in visions by Ezekiel and may well be the origin of the the Star of David which began to appear as decoration in early Hebrew texts but now represents the faith as a whole. It is however, not a chariot. Nor is it a religion. It is a fact. An object inherent to the workings of the world. Conjured entirely from mathematics. Conjured entirely from the goddamn three times table?! Why are we not taught in schools that an endless field of perfectly formed three dimensional objects hide within a simple group of numbers which, when represented visually rather than by coded symbol give genuine order to an otherwise rather chaotic universe?! π Itβsβ¦kind of annoying. But whateverβ¦itβs availble if anyone wants it. π€·ββοΈ www.fmdtattoos.com πͺπ€π‘ ready to be made at @sangbleutattoolondon #handpoke #stickandpoke #handmade #jewellery #machinefree #tattoodesign #sangbleu #sangbleulondon #geometry #sacredgeometry #geometrictattoos #black #ink #sterling #silver #london

Simple and meaningful. Based on an old Celtic symbol of a mother and her two children but simplified and elongated a little.

Practice practice. I donβt know why the sudden urge to draw portraits has taken me over but, Iβm enjoying the process of learning. For years I have drawn only from imagination and to actually draw whatβs in front of me is quite a challenge. Thereβs a few techniques that have got me this far and Iβm finding a combination of them is what is getting me closest. I really need to work on value and shading but pleased with the progress itβs making in terms so shape and similarity. Would be really keen to tattoo some of these so get in touch.
