Tattoo Meaning

We at Tattoo-Blast think that one of the greatest things about tats is that they each have their very own significance. It is no surprise that more men have armbands and more women have little flowers on their ankles or backs. Part of this is due to our current popular culture, but the roots of it go much deeper into an original tattoo meaning.

Thousands and thousands of years ago, people were already putting permanent art onto their bodies in the way that we do it nowadays. Of course, the work was not done with an electric gun in those days, but the effect was the same even though the process was vastly different and undoubtedly much more painful. If we investigate the ancient tribal tattoo meaning of various world cultures, we get a much better idea of what our current trends in body art are.

For example, in warrior societies, the men had various signs branded on them to show everyone what their status was. The reason that this form was used was because it was indelible and could not be lost. Men who had killed for the first time got a specific mark to show their status in their warrior society. As for women in ancient history, tattoo design and meaning also held significance in their world.

You can find information on our website about how, in many societies, a woman was given a certain mark when she came of age. This was a signal to the men of the tribe that she was available. Again, this type of mark was used because the mark is permanent and can not be taken off like a piece of jewellery. Once the woman was chosen by a man and they became partners of some sort, the image was added to in order to take on a new tattoo meaning—namely, that she is ‘married,’ i.e. no longer available.

In history closer to our own time, slaves and prisoners were marked in ancient Roman societies for the same reason as the ancient cultures had done it. This form of body art (or in this case—marking) is permanent. If a slave or a prisoner escaped, they could always be identified by the marking that had been made on their body.

All of this history is only the beginning of the vast amount of information that has been assembled about the history of tattoo design and meaning in various world cultures.

Tattoo Design Symbol

One of the greatest things about body art is that it can actually mean something, in addition to being cool. If you would like to find out more about what a specific tattoo design symbol stands for, you can find a lot of relevant information on our website. We at Tattoo-Blast specialize in everything related to this particular form of body art. We do not limit ourselves to advice about when and where to get a tat, and we also offer lots of history of the art including what some of the images stand for.

A lot of people nowadays are looking to get an image that is somehow representative of their personality or their lifestyle. In other words, people want to get something that will actually mean something to them, not just an image that looks pretty cool while sitting in the artist’s studio getting ready to have it done. A tattoo Asian symbol might seem like the best thing at one moment and then at the next moment a Celtic sign might seem like the thing you are most likely to get.

This dimension of choosing one’s image makes the process a little bit more difficult, but much more rewarding in the end. For the rest of your life you will wear this image, so it should be something that is really representative of YOU—not just the 20-something you. Putting a lot of time and thinking into this important decision is well worth the investment because it means that you will end up choosing one whose tattoo symbol meaning is highly representative of you and your personality.

The group of images that have perhaps the most developed and established significance are Kanji characters and other signs from Japan and China. A lot of these signs have such specific significance in their own culture, but to folks in the Western world they are just cool signs. While you might not be fond of getting the word ‘luck’ imprinted into your arm, you might find the Kanji character for luck a good compromise. You know what it means and you can share it with others or keep it private, it will be your choice.
