Crown Tattoos

I have always liked the way crown tattoos look like a wedding ring of some sort. This one here with the gold band and the green jewels has been around for a lot of years. It’s just your basic crown and it goes with just about anything and everything. I think a lot of crown tattoos are used for the lower back and the smaller tattoos are used for around the ankles. I really like the way some people use crown tattoos in there art work when designing other type of tattoos. I don’t have any crown tattoos myself, but I would think about getting one like this on my neck. Now I have seen quite a few people get crown tattoos on each of their knuckles. The smaller tattoos in my eyes always look a little better than the really big ones. I saw one guy with a giant crown on his back and it covered his entire back. Just a little to much for this guy. The artwork was great, but it made him look like he thought he was some kind of king. I forgot to ask him if he possibly was some sort of king or prince.

Crown Tattoos

The crown tattoo in the picture is a perfect example of what is possible with this design. It’s a very stunning piece that is done in black and white and is well shaded. Whether we realize it or not, crown symbols are all around us. They are on card decks, poker chips and even certain brands of liquor. But, few of us know much about the symbolism of the crown tattoo. So, let’s take a little look at the history or more aptly, the symbolism of the crown. The crown has long been used as a symbol of royalty and the authority of kings, though more often then not the queens had the power. And these kings and queens believed that their authority to rule was given to them by God. I know it’s a little egocentric but hey, whatever works. As a tattoo symbol, the crown doesn’t just mean the right of one person to command another. It symbolizes an individual’s control or power over their own life, . It’s the ultimate authority over one’s own fate or destiny. The crown tattoo can also symbolize self control and is often used by someone who has beaten some obstacle in their life, such as drug addiction.

Tree Tattoo

Different cultures often give different spiritual meanings to their tattoo designs. For instance, the tree tattoo in some culture could be divinity or high status in society. The meaning of the tree tattoo is often linked to the mythical tree of life, a common element in many mythologies and one which is said to grant eternal youth and power. According to ancient beliefs, anybody who drinks the sap of the tree of life will live forever and will reign supreme. Even in our modern times, there are still a lot of people who believe in the legend of the tree of life. Of course there is no evidence of truth to this story but a lot of people believed in it, thus tree tattoos were quite popular even until now. Since the tree tattoo is considered as sacred in many cultures, only those people of noble birth were allowed to wear the tree tattoo in the ancient times. Slaves and those of lower ranks were forbidden to paint their bodies with the tree tattoo, an offence that could have been punished by death!! But, modern bearers of the tree tattoo have no such worries. The only consideration to be taken into account is the size, location of type of tree tattoo to be inked.

Tree Tattoo

Since the dawn of time trees have had symbolic meaning. It’s true in every culture on the planet. And that is why tree tattoos are starting to become popular. Tree symbols and forests contains multiple mythic qualities. The deep-rooted symbolism of trees is apparent in common metaphors such as the Tree of Life and our ancestral heritage depicted in family trees. In Vedic philosophy, the symbolism of wood claims this element as the primal material of the universe. Christian art symbolism depicts Christ as the cosmic carpenter and His ultimate sacrifice is represented by the symbolism of a wooden cross. The Jewish depiction of the Kabbalah is in the form of a modified tree and explains the mystical teachings of Judaism. Specific tree tattoos also have their own meaning depending on the type of tree represented. For example the tree depicted in the picture is an Ash tree. This tree tattoo symbolizes sacrifice, sensitivity and higher awareness. Ash is the timber of choice for production of baseball bats and tool handles. The wood is also favorable for furniture and flooring. Ash is a large deciduous tree with smooth, gray bark on young trees which becomes fissured with age. And if shown in your design devoid of it’s foliage like in the picture then it makes a stunning impact visually.

Tattoo Stars

If you are someone who feels a special attachment to the heavens, the moon, and the stars, you may feel that a star shaped tattoo design is perfect for you. The key is to find a star tattoo design that is really unique and is truly personalized for you. So, how do you do this? Well, here are some of the best star tattoos ideas to consider which will help to make the design your own and symbolize your true self. An eight pointed star, known as the cross of St. John, and also represents the emblem of the Knights of Malta, can be traced back to one of the most popular religious organizations during the crusades. You could opt for the seven pointed star as it has varied meanings and can represent different periods of life or feelings. If commonly represents a symbol for being a perfected man. But watch out, it can also represent your childhood, the whimsical or can be a fairy star. Think this star tattoo design over very carefully if the meaning is important to you. The tattoo stars in the picture are really impressive and I like the way the design travels up the leg from the foot to the calf. It’s very impressive and pretty.

Tattoo Stars

Here are some more tattoo stars for us to check out. The difference here of course being that we also have the initial D among these stars. Obviously that initial is going to stand for the name of the person with the tattoo or a person very close to them. Most likely it is the name of this person and then it would make sense that this person thinks of themselves as some sort of undiscovered star, hence the initial with the stars. Sort of like saying so and so is a star, even if they are the only one that knows they are a star, that’s okay. There’s nothing wrong with considering ones self a star. In some way or another, at one time or another, almost every human being alive is a star to someone else. If you think about that you will see it to be true. And if someone is not then they are still very young or have wasted their life terribly. There’s not a whole lot of in between there.

These two little tattoo stars with the capital D next to them could simply mean the Star of David, which of course is the universal symbol for Judaism.
