Brass knuckles tattoo

In the modern world, a tattoo has become a part of everyday life - you can go to a salon and get a picture, but not as a slave's mark, but as a talisman, talisman or memo. Before getting a tattoo, people usually recognize its superficial meaning or rely on their own associations, which sometimes leads to awkward situations. The image of the brass knuckles can have different meanings depending on where it is stuffed and what elements are added. We suggest that you familiarize yourself with its interpretation in more detail.

Once upon a time it was considered normal to use brass knuckles made of metal, bone or other hard material in a street fight, because, unlike a knife, such a weapon did not allow you to strike unnoticed. Despite the simplicity of its design, the product can cause serious injury or even take the life of an enemy. Over time, fist resolution lost its popularity, and then the fistfighting plate became a dangerous and dastardly instrument.

The history of weapons for fist fighting is closely intertwined with the fate of sailors leaving on long voyages. The sea is a terrible and unpredictable element with which sailors had to coexist for many weeks, and even months. For sailors, brass knuckles were a familiar tool for resolving disagreements - its mere presence could calm an opponent without further ado, so the appearance of the weapon reassured and inspired hope. Before setting off on long voyages, the sailors stuffed themselves with fist-weapon tattoos to suppress their fear of the endless sea.

In the modern world, a wearable design depicting a metal plate with holes for fingers is perceived with caution - after all, the wearer can be unnecessarily hot-tempered and restless. But constant readiness for battle does not mean at all that the owner of the tattoo is dangerous to others, most likely, in the past he experienced difficult situations, or was betrayed by loved ones, and his aggression is only a defensive reaction.

Modern tattoo artists are able to depict brass knuckles both in a simple minimalist style and in authentic realism, so each person can choose the sketch that he likes. We propose to consider a list of interesting and unusual wearable drawings with fist weapons.
