Pin tattoo
A pin tattoo looks quite simple and compact. For this reason, many believe that such a tattoo does not carry any meaning and is made purely for aesthetic reasons. However, it is not. In this article, we will talk about what a pin means, and what sketches exist with it.
The meaning of a tattoo
A pin is an item that was actively used for household needs, and sometimes as a decoration even in ancient times. However, in ancient times, the pin did not have the appearance that is familiar to us now. In its capacity, various sharp bones or thorns of plants could be used - all this was used to fasten tissues.
It was only after people learned how to work metal that standard pins were made. The kind that we are now accustomed to, the pin acquired only in the 15th century in European countries - for this reason it began to be called the "safety pin".
This thing turned out to be very convenient: it was possible to fasten fabrics, and paper, and other things with a pin. For this reason, steel pins are produced in large quantities.
It is worth noting the fact that, according to legends, the pin is endowed with certain magical properties. She can help a person if he needs to protect himself or, conversely, to attack someone. She is considered a reliable talisman against the evil eye and a good weapon against the enemy.
Tattoos, on which there is a pin, are still very popular nowadays, and this applies to both girls and men. Such tattoos can look both very aesthetically pleasing and beautiful, as well as creepy - it depends on the compositional features of the body pattern.
If we talk about the meaning of such a tattoo, then it is extremely positive. It is believed that such a tattoo will become a kind of talisman that can protect its owner from negative influences from ill-wishers, help improve well-being and retain wealth, as well as attract positive and luck. The latter is explained by the fact that the pin has a closed shape, which allows it to generate the strongest streams of light energy.
In addition, in some cases, such a tattoo is done as a memorial sign so as not to forget about any important and significant event.
Sketch options
There are a large number of pin tattoo designs. As a rule, such drawings are monochrome, however, there are many options with color performance.
- Often, a pin appears on a body image as an independent object. However, there may be some peculiarities here. So, for example, a pin can be depicted as open or closed. In addition, wearable drawings are quite common, where not just a pin is depicted, but one that seems to pierce a person's skin. Moreover, often on such tattoos, you can also see painted scars, stitches, redness or drops of blood - it is with the help of these details that such a realistic effect is achieved. However, there are people who are frightened and horrified by such tattoos, which is due to the naturalism of the drawing.
- In addition, a pin tattoo can be complemented by a variety of compositional elements. Among them, the most common are images of ribbons, bows, diamonds, hearts, castles, stars, four-leaf clover, floral elements and inscriptions with different content. All these additional compositional elements can carry a specific meaning, or they can be applied purely for aesthetic reasons - it depends only on the person himself who will wear this tattoo.
- Such variants of images look very interesting, where a pin seems to fasten the two halves of one whole - most often these are two halves of the heart, but there are other options. The tattoo looks no less impressive, where from the pins fastened to each other, as if the outlines of a specific figure are laid out - it can be the same heart.
Where can you apply?
Tattoos with pins are distinguished by their diminutiveness and compactness. For this reason, they can be located literally on any part of the body; this has no effect on the meaning of the tattoo.
It is the preferences of the wearer of the wearable that play an important role here.
Women most often apply this kind of tattoo on the wrist, ankle, rib, collarbone or ankle. Very small tattoos can be placed on the finger, which looks quite interesting and original. However, when applying a tattoo on a finger, it should be borne in mind that the image is likely to quickly blur and smear due to active friction on different surfaces.
Men, on the other hand, often apply similar tattoos in the area of the shoulder blades, on the chest, in the area of the forearm or shoulder. Other application areas are also suitable.
