Mo Ganji, an Iranian born, Berlin-based ink artist who's known for his distinctive minimalist tattoos that use just a single line to form a desired shape. Such designs include a stretching cat, a wide wing-spanned owl, a floating hummingbird, dogs and a really cool streamlined version of Chewbacca. Each tattoo starts out with three points that are then connected. In a 2016 interview with Titowier Magazin, Ganji explained the symbolism of these three points.
(translated) They stand for body, mind and soul "because everything in life has a counter-pole, and the opposite pole to the stroke is the point. This balances everything back.
