![]() The veni vidi vici tattoo can tell the world about political struggles, economic pain, or a journey to a new religious path. ![]() The brand of a warrior ( gallery of warrior tattoos), many ex-military bear this ink to show that they have been to the gates of Hell and survived. Rather than coming, seeing, and conquering, they associate these words with evidence that no matter how large of an obstacle, they have found a way through once and they will continue to fight and do it again. The veni vidi vici tattoo for them symbolizes having seen struggles and broke through to the other side where life is abundantly pleasurable for them. Many people today are still struggling to find their own personal identify in a crowded world. Today, overcoming huge personal obstacles can be just as daunting. When Julius Caesar uttered those words to the Senate, he was in fact, telling them of his historic victory and huge military prowess. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find any real research on the meaning of side tattoos.Dealing with an addiction, a lost love, or the pain of war, can be symbolically referenced using these words in a tattoo, similarly to a small bird tattoos. I personally like quotes and solo illustrations on the side, but I’ve seen a few very artistic portraits or whole side pieces. Side, or rib, tattoos are probably my third favorite location (after back and inner arms). Men are more likely to get ink here, though the trend seems to be increasing for women as well. Since the chest is usually not completely exposed, there is a sense of intimacy with the tattoo and it’s placement here. I plan on (someday…) getting a tattoo that covers part of a shoulder blade or between the two.īecause it’s located near the heart, chest tattoos have symbolized affection and love. Also, this location can typically be covered. I personally like upper back (no thanks to lower back ink for me) because it has the largest unobstructed “viewing” surface area (as opposed to having one wrapped around your arms or legs), and because there’s still many placement options. ![]() This particular research notes that placement choice is very gender specific and plays a role in how the symbolism of a tattoo differs between men and women.īack tattoos can allude to a person’s “mysterious” qualities or represent a (meaningful) event that the person has put behind them. We know that people get tattoos on many different parts of the body, and tattoos are an exhibition of many different ideals, values and personalities for many different people. ![]() Not only does this make organizing each post much easier, but now I can include some interesting research that I found about the relationships between tattoo location and symbolism for men and women. The topic/theme this week is ink on any part of your torso, which can sometimes become a short-sighted and unattractive decision for some people years on down the road (namely women with abdomen tattoos that stretch into an undetermined mass once they become pregnant).Īs you all may or may not have noticed, I usually center each Tattoo Tuesday post around a particular body part. Hey tattoo lovers, another Tuesday is upon us and so I bring you a new Tattoo Tuesday post. ![]()
