All about the "Pentagram" tattoo

The pentagram is an ancient symbol that has been endowed with a mystical meaning for a long time. He attracted many precisely with his mystery and power. What does this symbol mean and to whom it suits, we will tell below.

Initially, the pentagram symbol was considered astronomical. The first such image was found in the area of ​​Mesopotamia and, according to the calculations of scientists, dated back to a period of 2 thousand years BC. It is believed that there this symbol was a diagram that showed the trajectory of Venus.

Among the Egyptians in ancient times, this image was also associated with astronomy, they had it as a symbol of the stars. Only after a while the image in the form of a five-pointed star in a circle began to be endowed with a supernatural, occult meaning.

The pentagram was of particular importance for the Pythagoreans. For them, she was a symbol of silence. After the dedication, they had to remain silent for 5 years, giving themselves completely and completely to the teaching.

The symbolism of a tattoo in the form of a pentagram is quite diverse. Many believe that the pentagram is an exclusively devilish sign that does not carry anything good and positive in itself. However, this is not quite true. Its meaning can be interpreted in different ways, depending on the details that are inherent in it. The pentagram can mean both evil and good, both darkness and light.

It is believed that the pentagram, the star of which is located directly, carries only positive, light and good in itself. Such an image can become for a person protection and a real talisman from evil forces, spirits, demons and other supernaturals.

In confirmation of this, many films can be cited, where the pentagram for the heroes served as protection - for example, known to most of the TV series "Supernatural", the heroes of which, Dean and Sam Winchesters used the pentagram to protect against demons and fight them.

Besides, such a sign is actively used by good sorcerers who practice light magic. In the modern world, it is believed that the image of a straight pentagram on the body will bring success, luck, luck, striving for a goal, leadership, prosperity and health to its owner. Such a drawing will symbolize friendship with the elements and eternal youth.

An inverted star with a downward apex, on the other hand, is considered a devilish symbol. Most often, he is preferred by those people who belong to such a subculture as the Goths. In addition, such a symbol is often used by sorcerers who practice dark magic. Such a pentagram is usually drawn to summon evil spirits, and sometimes the devil himself.

For many, a star in a circle represents a person. The top of the star is the head of a person, all the other four ends are arms and legs. In addition, there is another interpretation of the pentagram, the top of which is directed upwards. So, according to one version, its five ends symbolize five human feelings. According to another version, the tops of the pentahedral star personify the elements: spirit, air, fire, water and earth.

Such an image can also be considered in the context of Christianity. In this case, the five-pointed star will mean Jesus Christ, or rather, five wounds, from which he later died. In addition, Christians have another interpretation of this mysterious symbol. So, each of the corners of the five-pointed star is interpreted as follows: Father, Son, Holy Spirit, and the other two are the human and divine nature of Jesus Christ.

A pentagram tattoo is suitable for both men and girls, regardless of their age. The former, as a rule, get tattoos of this kind a little more often than the fair sex. However, in both cases, such an image will look quite interesting, impressive and mysterious, especially if you come across a good master.

Most often, such an image for a tattoo is preferred by individuals who strive to stand out and have a great interest in everything mystical, supernatural and mysterious.

There are many options with the image of the pentagram. These can be both full-fledged paintings with a large number of elements, occupying a fairly large area of ​​the skin, and small images, for which very little space is required.

Most often, drawings of this kind are done in black and white, often adding red.

The pentagram tattoo style can be almost anything. Most often, people who want to get such a tattoo prefer such a style as minimalism. It is characterized by simplicity and clarity. As a rule, this style is chosen by those people who want to see a pentagram on their body without any other elements.

If you want to add certain compositional details to the tattoo, then in this case we recommend giving your preference to such a style as realism, which is characterized by the drawing of the smallest details.

In addition to realism, styles such as tribal, biomechanics and steampunk are also common for pentagram tattoos. Such style solutions are more suitable for those who want the tattoo to look not only realistic, but also somewhat intimidating.

In addition, we recommend taking a closer look at such an option as a monochrome drawing consisting of dots and lines. Typically, this option is performed in styles such as graphics, dotwork and trash polka.

With the arrangement of the tattoo in the form of a five-pointed star in a circle, everything is quite difficult. In general, you can place it anywhere, depending on your preferences: on the chest, wrist, neck, arm, back, on the wrist and more. However, it is worth considering some features of the image.

• So, if we talk about people who belong to one or another subculture, then they often apply a similar image in the neck or back of the head. In this way, they try to attract more attention to themselves.

• In addition, if you want your tattoo to have an unambiguous, and only positive, meaning, then you should not do it on the wrist. This is due to the fact that when the position of the hand changes, the symbol will also change its position, that is, the top of the five-edged star will be below, which means adherence to dark forces, then again at the top, which symbolizes light and good. However, if this does not bother you much, then such a pattern can be safely applied to the wrist.

• The choice of a place for a tattoo also depends on its planned size. So, the drawing can be miniature and uncomplicated - this is the image, by the way, that girls most often choose. It looks quite strict and concise. For this image, it is best to choose the shoulder or calf.

• If you plan to make a full-fledged picture with this symbol, then in this case, for this it is worth choosing the place that has the largest skin area: this, for example, the back or chest. This option is mainly chosen by men, but it is also suitable for the fair sex.

There are many beautiful sketches of the pentagram. Such drawings can be both large and small. Here are just a few of them.

• For example, a tattoo done in black. Such a drawing was depicted on the bodies of the heroes of the series "Supernatural" - Dean and Sam Winchester.
