This tattoo could almost be mistaken for something else if it wasn’t for the single protruding tale of a whale. This relatively large circular back piece consists almost entirely of linework waves. Let’s take a look at some of the best examples of wave tattoos being created today. Over the years, as body art and technology has evolved, these simple patterns have morphed into more elaborate and intricate works of art. With the resources tattooists have available to them today, if it can be imagined, it can be inked. Simple single line designs and reoccurring minimalistic wave patterns were common place way back when and still remain so to this day. The first wave tattoos likely originated in pacific islander cultures-most notably the Maori and Samoan tribes. Whether you’re running out to sea, surfboard in tow, or just enjoying a romantic walk on the beach while the waves peacefully break in the background, waves are without a doubt one of nature’s most alluring creations. Formed by gravity and surface tension, water waves can be terrifying, fun, awe-inspiring, and even therapeutic.
