What is a cymatics/sound tattoo?
Cymatics, the study of visible sound and vibration. Every piece starts with frequency, not with a sketch.
-
Every cymatics tattoo is one of a kind. Jehan creates a custom sound frequency in Ableton Live and runs it through a self-built cymatics setup, where the vibrations form a unique geometric pattern in water. That one-of-a-kind pattern becomes the foundation of the tattoo, which is then refined into a finished design using botanical elements, ornamental blackwork, and symbolic imagery to create a piece that is both scientifically inspired and artistically intentional.
-
Because the source is audio, a cymatics tattoo can be built from something meaningful: a voice memo, a piece of music, a heart beat. The tattoo isn't just visually unique, it's traceable back to a specific moment that existed as a vibration first, then to become visible through the process of cymatics.

Existing pieces: created from specific source (solfeggio) frequencies that are proven to achieve certain energetic and healing states. Those can be found on on this page.
Custom: a voice memo, a piece of music, a recorded heart beat can be brought into ableton music production software and used to create a pattern. This requires a much more involved process, therefore will include a separate creation fee.
432hz cymatics pattern: The frequency of unity, love, inner alignment. These are all available designs to be tattooed.
Tattoo for 528hz: For this project, I worked with the 528hz cymatic pattern, which I applied to the Turkish coffee cup. This frequency is associated with parasympathetic activation, attentional stabilization, cellular repair, and reducing cortisol levels.
