Symmetry in art occurs when the various elements of a painting, drawing or sculpture are composed in such a way that they are perfectly balanced, creating an image that is aesthetically pleasing. The same is true for tattoos. Think about the Thai sak yant tattoo on the back of Cara Delevingne’s neck, which she debuted at her sister Poppy’s wedding in 2014. The intricate tattoo is perfectly symmetrical and its placement at the very center of the back of her neck makes the ink all the more aesthetically pleasing. Well, the latest trend in tattooing – mirrored ink – plays off of this concept of symmetry, but adds a twist for those who want a little variety in their ink.
