Tattoo Design
Here is a tattoo design I am currently developing by using Grasshopper. 11 years ago, I developed a Grasshopper definition that approximates Julia Sets here. One of the experimental outputs of that definition looks suitable for a tattoo design. It is a beautiful fractal shape. But I am not perfectly sure about its suitability for a tattoo. Here it is:

This was generated by the function z2+c and the parameters were: 0.3+0.49i with 25 iterations. I experimented a bit more on similar terrains. Therefore, below is a trial with 0.2897+0.6i with 15 iterations. I played with the escape value and animated it:

Above is the Grasshopper definition I created for this. It uses only native Grasshopper components (no add-ons). I used one vb.net script in it. Below is the code inside this component. I tried to add the Grasshopper Python component here. However, I couldn’t manage to implement cmath module properly to make calculations with complex numbers. So, I am planning to do that in the future. Also, I need to conduct another study to make this definition faster. Finally, I need to talk to a tattoo artist to further elaborate on the details and application of these fractals.
