Road tattoo
A tattoo in the form of a road has, on the one hand, a deep philosophical meaning, on the other hand, it can be a designation of a person's worldview. In either case, it can be a very beautiful tattoo, if you think over the sketch well and trust the hands of a professional. It is worth considering in more detail what tattoos exist on this topic and what they symbolize.
The meaning of a tattoo
The "Road" tattoo can have several interpretations, but the main one will always be the life path that a person goes from birth to death. What it will be, for the most part, depends on the person himself. Probably the same can be attributed to the tattoo on the chosen topic. A beautiful, flat and wide road means space for a person and the right choice.
Winding and narrow can signal certain doubts and dangers that may lie in wait at every turn.
Giving a tattoo a meaning that denotes the road of life, it is worth paying attention to the little things. Usually there are additional elements here. It can be:
- the mountains;
- clouds;
- Sun;
- Rainbow;
- trees;
- cars;
- trains and planes;
- clock and compass;
- moon and stars;
- birds;
- silhouettes of people.
Anyone who chooses such a drawing is like a philosopher, and he will definitely think over the image thoroughly.
The symbol of the road can also be chosen by those people who are directly related to it by the nature of their activities - pilots and machinists, motorists and truckers. The road in this case can act as a symbol of returning home. The same tattoo can be chosen by travelers who are constantly on the road, people who cannot sit still, and they are ready to discover new horizons for themselves.
A person who chooses a road for himself as an image thereby demonstrates his attitude to life. If the road is flat and straight with a landscape visible in the distance, this indicates that a person is ready to move towards his goal and believes that happiness lies ahead. The mountains in the distance symbolize that the owner of the tattoo is striving for new heights. The road along the seashore is associated with a calm flow of life, balance and complete harmony.
The road depicted as a crossroads suggests that a person always faces a choice, but he is not afraid to make decisions and take responsibility for his actions. And it is difficult to turn it off the intended path.
Sketch ideas
As for color schemes, the road is often depicted in black and white, it looks very harmonious and eloquently reflects the meaning of the chosen tattoo, especially if it is supplemented with details. Color options often accompanied by landscapes and look like real paintings.
The styles that masters choose for a tattoo of this topic can be as follows:
- minimalism;
- realism;
- watercolor;
- graphics.
Let's consider several options for ready-made sketches.
- The tattoo takes up a large area of the arm. The flat road, stretching into the distance, is supplemented on both sides by fields, mountains and forest are seen in front against the background of the sky. Despite the black and white version, such a drawing looks very impressive and conveys the whole deep meaning of the life path, on which everything meets, but in general life is beautiful.
- Slightly winding road between fir trees looks also realistic and says, most likely, that a person treats life as an adventure, but is ready for different turns and is in harmony with himself.
- This option clearly demonstrates the thrill-seeker.... Moreover, the owner of the tattoo emphasizes that he is not afraid of any dangers. And the choice of the color version testifies to the fact that only in such a context life is full of colors.
- Railway endless tracksurrounded by bare trees evokes some sadness. Apparently, the owner of the tattoo says that his path is not so rosy, but this is his deliberate choice.
- Beautiful color plot, demonstrating the attitude of a person to life, who goes his own way, trying to maintain a balance between a civilization that brings negative emotions, and the harmony of the surrounding nature.
Where can you apply?
Often the image of the road, complemented by various attributes, is chosen by men. And in this case, the most suitable options for tattooing are the arm (and most often they occupy the entire "sleeve"), chest, back. In the latter case, these are voluminous plots, impressive in their scale.
Other parts of the body are chosen less frequently, since the road itself requires space. Girls, choosing such tattoos, also strive to give them more space on the body. In addition to the back and arm, the side or hip can be used.
