Tattoo on the theme "Life"

Tattoo on the theme "Life" is a trend that has not lost its popularity over the centuries, invariably in demand among men and women of any age and social stratum. Means of expressiveness and semantic content may vary, but this does not change the philosophical meaning.

A tattoo that once delimited classes or confirms belonging to a particular group of society, in modern reality, is increasingly acquiring a specific meaning. Nowadays, a tattoo is often a means of self-expression, manifestation of individuality, communicating certain personal information to others.

But if we are talking about a philosophical concept, then such a topic opens up a wide selection of images, inscriptions or successful combinations of drawing and graphic commentary. Each of them has its own characteristics, formed by a personality under the influence of philosophical concepts, subjective judgments, someone's persistent recommendations or seen somewhere (on someone else's body, in the global information space, in the sketches of a beloved master).

1. Images, color or black and white, made in the styles of old school, graphics or watercolors (there are no restrictions here). They can talk about life indirectly, in the deep context of common graphic symbols - skulls and bones, a Viking compass, lotus, cherry blossom, clock, a triangle with a sprouted tree.
2. Winning combinations of a beautiful tattoo and lettering look good on the body. Well-known sayings, quotes and aphorisms can reinforce the meaning, confirm the guesses of outsiders, or be explanatory. Each popular image has not only a generally accepted interpretation, but also a certain sacred meaning given to it by the user.
3. Lettering - an interesting segment of the art of images on human skin. They can be performed in the native, dead, or any existing language of earthly peoples. Text and affiliation can determine the style of writing, the font, and sometimes the coloristic solution.
4. There are no cultural restrictions in the choice of a life image. (ancient Greek caduceus, Egyptian ankh, cross, sakura, lotus, yin-yang sign) - all this may seem quite clear to the owner, like a popular quote.

The abstract meaning or one of the facets of the selected drawing can be dictated in different ways, taking into account individual considerations, philosophical views, religion or nationality. But a whole segment of beautiful drawings has already appeared, which have their own meaning that is understandable to a stranger. They are in demand, as they are successfully combined, solved in a certain style, and do not require additional clarification.

Here are some of the important ones.

• "Thank you for life". Often supplemented with a message - to mom or parents. This is an original way to express gratitude to them. Such a symbol remains with a person even in cases when there are no loved ones with him. A person's choice of language and style in such an inscription is not limited by anything.

• "The beginning of a new life." It is a symbol of the start of a new stage in life - a more ambiguous one. And also in the choice of means - graphic, graphic, coloristic. There is more personal, individual in it.

• "One life"... The meaning of a tattoo for men can be global, stamped as a reminder of the need to follow the chosen priorities or ideals. A woman often complements an abstract sign with a narrower explanation: for example, one life, one love, which means a willingness to be faithful or says that the only man has already met on the path of life.

• "Immortal life", in the form of the Egyptian ankh means not only the immortality of the soul. The magic sign has many meanings - from wisdom and harmony, to the unity of life and death, the key to the afterlife, an effective amulet from evil spirits for its owner.

• "My life"... It often continues with the words “my rules”. But this is not the only way to continue the inscription. You can use less common options: "My life is music", "My life is love." If something seems banal, the object always has slogans and quotes at its disposal that reflect its life principles or credo: "always ahead", "only forward", "with faith in the heart."

• "I love life." Perhaps the most common version in English, reproduced on the fingers. This inscription has exactly 8 letters, it is perfectly readable on arms outstretched forward.

• "Life goes on". This inscription is dedicated to yourself or a loved one. Sometimes the inscription is made in English, in which there is a different literal translation that retains only the general meaning. But it can also be a cardiogram with a heart or a schematic representation of a person. No one limits the choice of a symbol that means just such a subtext for a person.

Nobody limits the space in which such an image could be placed. For couples, limbs are used - legs or arms. Popular locations are ankles, shins, shoulders, and forearms.

Volumetric images are placed on the side, back, thigh, less often on the chest. The small lettering can fit on a finger or on the neck under the hair. Popular inscriptions in the form of a bracelet on the forearm or ankle.
