Know the meaning of some of the most famous tattoos

1. Infinity

Even with so many variations – hearts, dots, echocardiograms and phrases – the symbolism of infinity remains beautiful and very true. It is the synthesis of something that has no end, of rebirth and reincarnation (in Buddhism and Hinduism). Basically it means not limiting yourself to something.

3. Birds/Swallow

Birds are very commonly related to the divine and protection, as well as peace (Holy Spirit). The tattoo can mean a memory of someone who is already gone.

Swallows are birds known as symbols of love, as they only have one partner. In addition, they are “departure and arrival” birds – they migrate in the winter and return in the summer –, always to the same nest. They can still mean purity, good luck, hope, resurrection, fertility or renewal.

4. Wings

“You look like an angel, only you don’t have wings, there you go”.🇧🇷 Jokes aside, wing tattoos (whether they are angels, butterflies or any other being that has them) are symbols of freedom, whether spiritual or inspirational.

5. Dream catcher (dream catcher)

If you had one of these when you were little – the riponga in you was already showing – know that its meaning hasn’t changed all that much. The difference is that you can have this on your skin instead of on your bedroom ceiling! And still keep protecting yourself from nightmares and bad energy.

6. Triple Spiral (Celtic)

To be so famous, this symbol has a good reason: it is the symbol of feminine power, representing the maiden, mother and crone. That’s why he’s so powerful for women.

7. Skulls

It may seem a bit morbid, dramatic and even ~satanic~, but it’s actually something that constantly reminds us how ephemeral life is. You know that phrase carpe diem? So, the thing is to enjoy life, without worrying about what once was and overcoming the difficult phases along the way. Oh, if it’s the Mexican skull (the colorful one), it’s also a good way to honor a loved one who has passed away. <3

8. Crowns

Yes, it’s a nice way of saying you’re the ~queen~, but it’s a way of marking authority, leadership, power, legitimacy, fairness, and even self-restraint.

9. Lions

The king of the jungle, the almighty animal with his beautiful mane and his imposing walk are unmistakable (as well as the lionesses out there!). In sacred temples around the world, lions are responsible for guarding and protecting sanctities, as it is the entity that protects good and defeats evil. In several religions it can have different meanings, always being a beautiful design to tattoo.

15. Arrows

The interesting thing about arrows is that one of their meanings is quite different: to shoot one, that is, to go forward, you have to pull back – looking at the past.

16. Triangles

It could be the passion for geometry, for the number three (there are three angles, vertices and edges), for changes and fluidity. Or it could be a symbol of openness, wisdom or the holy trinity.

If it goes up, it symbolizes the struggle of those who want to reach their goals; already if you’re down, it’s the result of dreams and achievements made. The colors and details of the design also have different meanings, varying a lot.

18. Tibetan knot

In addition to Tibetans, Buddhists use this symbol to express infinite wisdom and compassion for others. All the intertwined lines are the way of saying that everything in the universe is connected – the good old “every action has a reaction”.

19. Venus

It is, basically, the symbol of the woman, the feminine and the goddess of women (whatever she may be). That’s why it appears as the sign of feminist struggle out there :).
