Valentin Hirsch is a Berlin-based tattoo artist famous for symmetrical tattoos. Instead of traditional common tattoos, Valentin thought to do something different. So, he thought to create symmetrical tattoos with help of symmetrical of the human body. Symmetrical tattoos mean, after designing the tattoo, the design is cut into pieces and often framed by geometric shapes. Then instead of tattooing the whole design in one place, in this case, they tattoo it in different places in a separate part of the body like the left and right arm, left leg, and right leg. Most of the time, Valentine uses animal portraits, human skulls, and other natural elements for his symmetrical tattoos.
The animal tattoos are indeed separated from lines and spaces, but his animal subjects live as one on the customer’s skin. These symmetrical tattoos adorn both arms or legs and if you want to reveal the full face of the animal, you can do it by moving the two parts together Scroll down to check out some of Valentin’s most famous abstract animal tattoos and if you want to see some more of his tattoos, check out his Valentinhirsch tatoo Instagram account.
