Bat tattoo
A modern tattoo is not exclusive, nor is it something that significantly sets it apart from the crowd. This is a popular way to transform the body, and it is difficult to surprise anyone with a tattoo. But what exactly "clings" is relevance, harmony and a combination of aesthetics and meaning. This is why tattoo lovers carefully choose an image that should be in sync with their body.
Meaning
The bat is the only mammal that can fly. This is already enough to consider it unique. But a lot more meaning lies in the symbol, which can be both touching cartoony and terrifying. Tattoo "Bat" often means superpowers, craving for heroism and at the same time, pronounced introversion. That is, a person who decides to fill such a symbol can declare about himself something like the following: “I am not easy, I am cunning and know how to do what not everyone is capable of. I'm not the friendliest, or rather, I'm not very used to getting close to people. "
Both girls and men do tattoos with a bat. For men, this animal often becomes a symbol of invulnerability and secrecy. It is said that such images could have been worn by scouts. The symbolism is obvious, but it is unlikely that the scouts, whose function is to remain invisible, could show themselves so clearly. But courage, the willingness to notice what escapes the eyes of others, the ability to resolve situations in an unexpected way, such a tattoo can really emphasize.
Often in men, a bat is depicted against the background of the moon. An animal can be gloomy, have a predatory grin, or awe, if not horror. Most likely, this is a sign that the owner of the tattoo is ready to stand up for himself and his principles, that he is not "fluffy" and it is better not to joke with him.And some carriers of such a tattoo perceive it as a talisman. The fact is that bat saliva, according to certain studies, is capable of treating cardiac pathologies.
For the girl, the bat is basically a mysterious and enigmatic symbol. But often this image is taken as a translation of superpowers. There are also those who are sure that the bat will help open up the psychic gift. If you get a tattoo with this animal, you will begin to see the future. Well, there can be many explanations, and it's up to everyone how to relate to them. Experts advise women to stuff a bat in the thigh area. Especially if the mouse becomes a symbol of superpowers.
Another meaning of the symbol is love for the animal world and reasonable fearlessness in front of it... The mouse is as much a part of the planet as humans, and the latter endowed it with mystical properties. A cute and small bat on the forearm becomes in this case a symbol of acceptance of the diversity of the animal world and rejection of stereotypes.
Of course, with such a concept, the bat will not be portrayed as mystical and terrifying: its appearance will be more realistic.
What are they?
The size, appearance, style, plot of a tattoo can fundamentally change its meaning.
By style
Virtually any style can be used to get a tattoo, but there are techniques that are more complementary to the image of a bat.
- Oriental techniques. In such images, symbolism is associated only with positive images, therefore the tattoo is interpreted as a symbol of good luck and fertility. A feature of this style can be considered neat and delicate thin lines, as well as the use of bright and dense colors.
- Monochrome realism. The palette in this style is moderate, restrained. But this is also its "zest". The play of light and shadow, the volume of the sketch - that's what will affect the effect of the image.
- Hyperrealism... This style can be called relatively young, and not all masters will undertake such a drawing. Probably, the image of a vampire bat will be the most successful in this version.
- New school... The vibrant colors with black outlines create a slightly cartoonish image, so the tattoo comes out with a positive context.
Fans of minimalism are also often asked to portray a small stylized mouse, similar to the image from old cartoons.
Interpretations of this type of tattoo sound like this: “When we were kids, we played spies, and the bat was our symbol. We grew up, but we want to carry our carefree childhood with us, and let it be visually expressed this way. " Well, this is an interesting approach that can be applied to both female and male tattoos. But then the image is likely to be small and concise.
By plot
There is little that limits the client's fantasy. As already noted, the moon theme is quite popular, which becomes the background for the bat. All this goes in the direction of mysticism, night adventures, superpower, which is revealed precisely on the full moon. But there are other options as well.
- Mouse with a scary grin... Protection, willingness to fight, intense and traumatic emotional experience. Sometimes people unconsciously choose such a plot, trying to give themselves more brutality, or even just close themselves off from the complex world. Of course, psychological problems are difficult to solve with tattoos, but as a visual expression of the fight against fears, they sometimes help.
- Resolutely Spreading Bat... This speaks of a person's militancy, but not of his cruelty, aggression, readiness to defend himself. This is a more positive symbol if there is no predator grin on the mouse's face.
- Mouse flying to the tree branches. This symbol can also be considered more gloomy, foreshadowing some kind of hunt or attack. Psychologists believe that such pictures are chosen by people who have experienced something emotionally difficult. On the one hand, they try to get out of these experiences, on the other, they return to them again and again.
- A whole flock of bats. It can look mesmerizingly beautiful, but it is also scary. Such tattoos are most often done by girls. They can be performed in some emotionally difficult period, because the whole heaviness in the soul, the whole load of emotions no longer fits. A flock of mice on the body becomes a kind of outpouring of emotions and at the same time a shell, a human armor.
If you really like the mouse as a symbol, but do not want to display it so brightly, you can get a mini-tattoo in a less obvious place.
A person is not always ready to show the world images on his body. A tattoo can be a talisman, a symbol of self-confidence, promises made or decisions made. This is the case when the outside reinforces the inside. And the viewers of the tattoo, as such, are not needed.
Where can you stuff?
There are no strict restrictions. Basically, tattoos are done where it will look the most aesthetically pleasing.
- On the hand. This zone and outside the topic of bats is exploited more often than others. A large bat with outstretched wings can flaunt on the shoulder or forearm. On the hand, it appears less often. This theme is more typical for mini tattoos.
- On the neck. In this place, mice appear more often, which are associated with the theme of vampirism. This is understandable, because vampires prefer to bite into a person's neck. You need to muster up the courage to make a tattoo so strong in terms of message and image in such a vulnerable area.
- On the chest. In a sense, this is a challenge. The rib cage is involuntarily associated with the heart and soul. And a mouse that appears there will be considered a loud message.
- On the head. This topic is interesting to a greater extent to bald men. You can not get rid of such a tattoo if you get tired of it, but just grow your hair.
- On the back. They are stuffed with large plot compositions with a bat, containing many details and details. However, it will be difficult for a person himself to admire such a tattoo.
- On the shoulder blade. Nice area for small and delicate images. Perhaps such a small bat will want to stare. Therefore, this option often becomes feminine. Those who wear dresses with straps, and even with an open top, consider these tattoo symbols.
- On the foot. Women prefer to stuff mice on their thighs, so the tattoo will be covered. Images are perceived more as amulets and are revealed only to those closest to you.
- On the wrist. On the one hand, the tattoo will be small, modest, not flashy at all. On the other hand, this place does not hide as securely as the back. Therefore, the choice lies in finding the "golden mean" and understanding what you want more from a tattoo.
The most interesting are specific examples: searching for sketches, real images, the impression they make. But it is worth understanding: what is good for one person will be alien on the other. You should refrain from blind copying.
Beautiful examples
Let's look at some interesting examples of bat tattoos.
- Mouse combined with a skull - a mystical, terrible, warlike theme, on which the most desperate ones decide.
- And this mouse, rather, I want to stroke and take on the handles. Very good and delicately selected colors.
- Here the man chose realism... The place is good to represent the flying mouse.
- A mouse with folded wings hanging upside down is also not the best rare plot. Not very scary, but not cute and kind either.
- Mouse flying under the moon. She does not look like a wild predator, ready to dig into prey. Rather, it is a brave hero who is cunning, smart and secretive.
- Mouse on the girl's shoulder as if declaring that you need to be careful with the hostess. There are also the same color options.
- And here a person so declares about his soul and about what is in his heart. He is ready to fight for his own, ready to defend himself. The work is definitely not for everyone, because there are many gloomy symbols in the drawing.
- Large mouse at the waist... Since this zone in girls is vulnerable and prone to the most rapid changes, you should think a hundred times before doing such a large-scale tattoo in this place.
- Laconic, even romantically... For those who are afraid, but really want to.
