Origami is an ancient traditional Japanese art (the name comes from the japanese ori ‘folding’ and kami ‘paper’). It consists in folding sheets of paper to recreate the shape of an animal or an object. As Japanese culture has got a huge influence on tattoo art, origami naturally found its way into the mnd of ink lovers and artists.
Elegant, delicate and poetic, the origami designs are making original tattoos, coveted in particular for small minimalistic pieces. But it is also great with colors and more complex patterns, allowing a lot of creativity and uniqueness. The cranes are of course the most popular origami tattoos, along with paper planes and boats, but you can choose your own favorite animal. As the geometric and graphic tattoos are trending, why not getting your inspiration into an admirable ancient art which inspires peace, relaxation and beauty?
