Overview and options for the location of the tattoo for motorcyclists

People have different attitudes towards tattoos. For some, this is a way to stand out from the crowd, while others try to decorate their body or emphasize the beauty of its individual parts. Bikers are a completely different matter - it is difficult to imagine them without tattoos. The bodies of these brutal motorcyclists are literally strewn with images of iron crosses, chains, skulls and motorcycles. This is explained by the fact that they are not just lovers of technology, but representatives of the whole movement. Choppers, helmets, leather jackets, leather pants are an integral part of this subculture. At the same time, tattoos are an essential part of the self-expression of a real biker. This article will focus on tattoos for motorcyclists, the features of the plots and their locations.

From the very inception of the biker movement, it has been infamous for lawbreakers. Characteristic for motorcyclists-bikers was the presence of:

• cool motorcycle;

• Wehrmacht style helmets;

• leather jacket in the style of a leather jacket;

• leather pants.

On their clothes, such motorcyclists had special stripes indicating certain clans. The situation has changed over time. The gangs were replaced by motto clubs, and the stripes were replaced by drawings that repeat the club colors and symbols. At the moment of joining the club, this date is stamped on the body. In case of leaving the club, the date of leaving is put near the date of joining. Often it is required to completely remove such a picture with the club symbols. The harsh past and the nature of the movement are firmly entrenched in the style and subjects of tattoos. In addition to the club logo, the tattoo can be supplemented with a slogan and the image of various biker symbols.

As a rule, they promote certain ideas.

• Brotherhood... For many motorcyclists, their club is a brotherhood that epitomizes the family. The tattoo with flowers and symbols of the club confirms the maximum dedication to this family.

• Shoulder feeling... Feelings of loyalty and dedication are reflected in the designs of biker tattoos. Quite eloquent in this sense is the stuffed phrase "I go in his honor, he died for me."

• freedom... A biker is a free person, he is not limited by rules and laws. In addition, having a motorcycle gives these people freedom of movement. The idea of ​​freedom, as a rule, is embodied in drawings depicting bird wings, an eagle, and flames. Sometimes whole compositions are devoted to this topic in the form of motorcyclists sweeping over the horizon, over which their wings are spread.

• Rebelliousness... The very presence of a tattoo is already a rebellion against the foundations of society. However, this was not enough for the bikers, and they came up with the symbol "1%". It means that only one percent of the population is rebel, and the rest are law-abiding citizens. The symbols of rebellion in such tattoos are Maltese crosses, swastikas, skulls, death with a scythe and many other characters that are found in any subculture. The presence of symbols of death is sometimes considered a kind of protection against it. If there is such a mark, you can not be afraid of meeting her. Another meaning of these images is a risky lifestyle, a game with fate and death.

A very special group is made up of memorable tattoos, filled in honor of friends or relatives, as a sign of respect for love of freedom or specific actions. A number of drawings are dedicated to significant events, such as participating in a rally, or serious races.

Any biker has many tattoos. By applying them, he separates himself from the rest of the society. Maintaining the traditions of the past, modern motorcyclists also apply specific images, the originality of which attracts ordinary residents as well. However, it is advisable to select sketches of biker tattoos exclusively for people who really belong to this community. If an ordinary person gets such tattoos, it can be perceived that he is not impersonating who he really is, which is fraught with problems.

The subject of such images can be one of the following.

• Motorbike... There are no bikers without a motorcycle. These stern people treat the "iron horse" as a shrine. The beloved bike, depicted on various parts of the body, underlines this worship. The motorcycle may be full or partially full. A common option is a rudder pattern, which is applied to the projection of the road going into the distance. The classic is the picture of the most famous motorcycle. The most iconic model is definitely the Harley-Davidson. The names of your favorite brands and their logos are also required elements of tattoo sketches.

• Engine... This is an image with meaning. It means the heart of a motorcycle, and for many men in a leather jacket - and their own heart. Therefore, the drawing of a powerful V-shaped power unit, as a rule, is stuffed on the chest. The sketches with the use of individual components and assemblies of the engine look very impressive, for example: pistons engulfed in fire, or a piston with wings. These images convey an unbridled love of speed.

• Scull... The meaning of this symbol is manifold. The skull can symbolize both death and disregard for it.Often he is the personification of aggression or perseverance, the desire not to change the path of life once chosen. He can also demonstrate the best male qualities: honor and valor in the fight against external adversity. However, most often he speaks of the immortality of the spirit, that life is worth living as fully as possible. For more color, a dagger, a rose, a flame, as well as a skeleton and bones can be added to the image of the skull as a reminder of the transience of life.

• Eagle... This symbol is associated with speed, freedom and rebelliousness. It is these principles that bikers profess, they love speed, risk, freedom and are persistent fighters against the tight framework of society. Images with birds, wings and feathers are also an association with freedom. Such tattoos are more often filled by girls who are in clubs. An image of a feather applied to the foot or brush of a biker girl will look very stylish.

• Tattoo with demons and pentagrams they look very ominous, but in fact they are devoid of negative energy. They resort to these symbols, wishing to frighten or drive away death. Motorcyclists believe that symbols such as pentagrams can shield them from danger. Images of Satan and the demon, in addition to those mentioned above, can also characterize the owner of the tattoo as a stern, wayward person.

• Inscription... Such tattoos can be based on lines from your favorite rocker songs. As a rule, the inscriptions on the body of fans of fast driving praise speed, love, freedom.

• Helmet... Most often, the helmet is depicted wearing a skull, thereby enhancing the amulet of safety. Helmets can be depicted in the style of the Wehrmacht or in the form of motorcycle equipment. They are also complemented with inscriptions, wings, mohawks and flames.

Biker tattoos are clearly different from other body art. They tell about the merits of their owner, his passion. Often, the plots depicted on the body are associated with the unique stories of the owners. Many symbols are derived from aviation, as the first motorcyclists were aviators. As sketches of tattoos, you can use a variety of catalogs or films that tell about such communities.

There are no special requirements for the graphics of biker tattoos. Someone may like a realistic image: with fine details, highlights, halftones. Others like the old style of the picture. In this case, the drawing can be both color and monochrome.

Often, the body of a biker looks like a solid body painting. Still, there are certain rules for placing pictures. They depend on what you plan to portray.

• Breast... On the chest, you can often see a drawing in the form of a fiery engine. Such a tattoo demonstrates the unity of a machine and a person. Motorcyclists treat their iron horse like a living being. They attribute to him a certain disposition and character.

• Shoulders, forearm, legs... These parts are usually filled with pictures depicting a bike. Typically, such a pattern is large and requires an appropriate place on the human body for placement. A "death's head" in a helmet will look great on the shoulder or forearm. Such a picture can be made in color by complementing it with motorcycle details.

• On hands it is customary to apply images of a skull with other symbols. You can also place inscriptions, mottos or logos of your favorite motorcycle brands here. Such a tattoo can be designed as a sleeve by including gears, chains and the "all-seeing eye" in the composition. Various vehicles, skeletons, a skull with bones can be placed on the arm, and small tattoos on the wrist.

• Back... It is customary to fill a large picture on the back. An image of an eagle with outstretched wings will look good here. Also, on the back, you can fill the landscape of the area, which is associated with some kind of milestone in the life of a biker.
