he thinks geometrically

[@Buttocks79]

I think it would have been good if they had intercut more shots of his work in with his words, so it could speak for itself. He didn't seem to say anything meaningful, but he doesn't need to, we just need to see what he's capable of.

Yup never talk to your pastor especially if you're at church against your will as a child

[@Grellan_L]

I thought he was actually pretty articulate and I found what he said really interesting. Yes, maybe there were some off-topic points but at the end of the day I finished the video more educated about the history of sacred geometry as an artistic style, the social connotations behind it, the mathematical background and the reasoning behind why he does what he does. Not exactly sure what people were expecting from this. I learned some stuff that I didn't necessarily anticipate learning. How is that a bad thing? That's just my 2 cents.

[@TigerBlackTigerBlackTigerBlack]

Love Dillon's style, great that you got him for this topic.

[@kateystone1797]

Everyone in the comments is giving this guy shit for over-explaining or talking nonsense, whilst using elaborate vocabulary...as if he has no real intelligence in what he is saying. I have to disagree entirely, I was really impressed with all he had to say. There wasn't one part I didn't understand, he is very clear in my opinion, very perceptive and artistic. I hope whoever reads this, opens their mind and gives what he has to say a chance, before scrolling and reading anymore negative comments. He has obviously evolved his style of tattooing, since he himself was tattooed, and is well-informed of both the craft itself and the concepts of scared geometry/symbolic tattooing in general. One particular aspect of his approach, I was really impressed with, was his dedication to connecting with the piece/s he tattoos on his clients. He understands that his intentions and theirs need to find understanding in order for the art to convey it's purpose/true symbolism, as well as look it's best. We need more artists like this, the body is scared and should be honoured, valued and adorned if one wishes. What a cool, dude.

[@christinskrobanek5476]

Regardless of him speaking rather confusing... His work is gorgeous.

[@dontemchan]

He speaks through his work. Sometimes my mind is absolutely overflooded that when I try to explain my thoughts it seems completely boring and pointless. He has no idea where to start when speaking his thoughts. I truly can understand.

@@dogsconkers tribal tattoos which were meant to seem badass and edgy don't really translate to the representation of sacred geometry, which is more about complete oneness passed' the physical limitations of the human body. If it looks repetitive, it's because it displays the innermost basic signs, symbolizing the underlying geometric patterns found throughout our universe. Everything in life is made out of patterns, even our brains are machines designed to recognize paterns. There's some basic patterns that morph into every other thing that exists; That's the point of sacred geometry, like the flower of life or metatrons cube for e.g. Everything is patterns, everything is one. To me, that's the beautiful thing about sacred geometry. From there, to actually executing the tattoo right is a different story.
