Overview of the tattoo "Elements" and the place of their application

If you want your tattoo to look appropriate after many years, you should take a closer look at the drawings associated with your zodiac sign. She will not only decorate the body, but also emphasize your individuality. Recently, many have chosen astrological images as tattoo sketches. It is believed that such drawings carry a special energy. Neat tattoos with a zodiac sign or a corresponding natural element look very beautiful and stylish.

In the article we will delve a little into the history of the origin of the concept of "natural elements" and consider the features and types of sketches of tattoos with such an image.

In ancient times, representatives of one of the leading directions of philosophy - natural philosophy, put forward a theory about four primary substances: earth, water, air and fire, which underlie everything. Each of them corresponded to a certain type of character: earth - melancholic, water - phlegmatic, air - sanguine, fire - choleric.

In modern astrology, 4 elements are distinguished - Fire, Water, Earth, Air, corresponding to a certain sign of the zodiac under which a person is born. The element characterizes the characteristics of a person's psychotype, his consciousness and perception of the world.

Let's take a closer look at each element.

1. Fire Release. Corresponds to such signs of the zodiac as Aries, Leo, Sagittarius. The main character traits of people of the fire element are impulsiveness, activity, determination, aggressiveness, strong will, sincerity.

2. Release of the Earth. Corresponds to such signs of the zodiac as Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn. The earthly element characterizes people as hardworking and loyal, firm in their decisions, but at the same time cold and slow.

3. Air Release. Corresponds to such signs of the zodiac as Gemini, Libra, Aquarius. People born under the sign of Air are as light and mobile as the element itself. They learn everything quickly, but they forget everything just as quickly.

4. Release of Water. Corresponds to such signs of the zodiac as Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces. The water element characterizes people as emotional individuals, inclined to react violently to everything. Watermarks are sensitive, touchy, but, if necessary, are very perceptive and strong.

Those who have chosen a symbol of a certain element as a tattoo sketch should clarify whether his zodiac sign corresponds to this natural element. It is believed that any symbol carries energy information, so it is not recommended to stuff a tattoo with images of an element that does not correspond to it.

A tattoo that includes symbols of any of the four primary elements will enhance the tattoo owner's qualities inherent in this element.

And also this version of the tattoo sketch is difficult to combine with other drawings. The most harmonious combination is obtained by complementing the signs of the elements with the elements of the corresponding zodiac sign.

From how the symbol of a particular element is depicted, its meaning also changes. For example, a fire enclosed in certain frames (candle, lighted match, torch) means warmth, light of hope. In the case of the image of the fire element without restrictions - power, passion, potential.

The image of the water symbol is interpreted as calmness, enlightenment, the desire to develop.

The signs of the elements of Air can be interpreted in different ways, some mean tenderness, fragility, others - love of freedom, high intelligence.

And also the meaning of the "Elements" tattoo changes depending on the features of its image and placement on the body:

• an animal on fire - aggression;

• symbols of fire in places below the belt - sexuality;

• a heart surrounded by fire - torment;

• a drop of water - loss;

• wave - variability of character and so on.

Each of the four basic elements of nature carries a specific meaning. People who have chosen the image of one or more signs of any element as a tattoo sketch believe that the character traits corresponding to these elements will prevail in the owner of the tattoo.

Many people prefer to fill themselves with a tattoo depicting all 4 symbols at once - Air, Fire, Earth or Water.

There are a lot of application options. They can be made both in black and white and in color.

For those who prefer tattoo in style minimalism, you should pay attention to monochrome images. They look discreet and neat, but very stylish at the same time.

For people who prefer bright and colorful tattoos, there are many original sketches of such tattoos.

Another popular option for such a tattoo is combination of signs any element with other astrological symbols corresponding to one or another sign of the zodiac. This pattern looks very harmonious and impressive.

In order for the tattoo to look beautiful and neat on your body, you need to choose the right place where it is best to place it.

Basically, large images are applied to the back, chest, shoulder or thigh - areas with the largest area.

A tattoo depicting symbols of the elements, placed on the forearm, looks impressive on both the female and male body.

For lovers of minimalism, there are small solid or colored tattoos that can be placed anywhere on the body - wrist, collarbone, arm, thigh, leg, and others. Thanks to a neat sketch, such a pattern will look elegant on almost any part of the skin.
