You want to get a tattoo because it’s sexy and beautiful, and a tattoo is a great way to add originality and a stylish twist to your image. But a lot of questions arise: which tattoo is better - black or colored, which one to choose, how to find a good tattoo artist, how long will the wound take to heal after the tattoo is completed, etc.

An expert from one of the Kyiv salons, tattoo and body art master Petrovich, will help you understand all the “underwater” reefs of the tattoo process.

Types of tattoos: temporary or for life

A real tattoo (insertion of ink under the skin using a special device - a tattoo machine with a needle) is forever. But there are so-called temporary tattoos. For real professionals, these are just drawings that have nothing to do with serious tattoo art. And for you, it’s a good way to be fashionable without the fear that the design will remain on your body for life. Temporary tattoos can last 3-5 days - this is a drawing on the body with special permanent paints and pencils, as well as 2-3 months - the drawing is done using henna, or 3-5 years - a special solution based on henna is used as tattoo paint , which after a certain time dissolves under the skin. As you can see, there is an alternative for tattoo longevity. And the choice is yours.

How to choose a tattoo artist

Advertising for tattoos in specialized media or the “stardom” (prestige) of a tattoo parlor does not matter at all. Therefore, you should not choose a tattoo artist according to the principle: “a cool salon in the city center, a lot of advertising booklets and advertisements - then everything must be at the highest level.”

Talent and quality work, like a beautiful tattoo, cannot be hidden. Therefore, fame spreads quickly about experienced and worthy tattoo artists. They don’t need advertising: the principle of rumors “one passed on to another” works. If you want to get a high-quality tattoo, don’t rush to take all your savings to an expensive salon, ask for advice in tattoo shops, ask friends who have already done tattoos, look through tattoo magazines - there, as a rule, you can find the names and works of worthy tattoo artists.

Keep in mind: the question about the portfolio is far from superfluous. Look through everything that a tattoo artist can show you - photos, videos. It is quite possible that you simply will not agree on tastes, despite the skill and good reputation of the tattoo artist.

Decide on a tattoo design

What tattoo pattern should you decorate your body with: an Egyptian ornament, a thread of Chinese hieroglyphs, a Latin saying, or an element of the plant or animal world? The choice is yours! The main thing is to remember that any of the drawings you choose is a secret code that can have both positive and negative effects on your life.

© Flickr According to tattoo artist Petrovich, a good tattoo artist must not only be a master at drawing tattoos, but also have a fairly good understanding of symbols and signs. For example, there are cases when a person comes with a ready-made design for a tattoo, the meaning of which is very aggressive: “death”, “revenge”, “violence”, “punishment”, etc. It is clear that a normal person is unlikely to choose such “goals” for himself; obviously, the person simply liked the drawing, and he was not even interested in decoding. Therefore, the master is obliged not only to warn, but also to dissuade the client from using an unsuccessful symbol for a tattoo.

Chinese characters stand out as a separate line in the art of tattoos. It is very difficult to clarify their true meaning, and arguments like “a friend said that this is strength and power” can hardly be considered serious.

Keep in mind: if the exact meaning of the hieroglyph is unknown, it is better to abandon the dubious symbol for the tattoo. You never know what harm it can do! This is not a mystical fantasy. An entire science, semiotics, deals with aspects of the influence of signs and symbols on humans.

Tattoo: choose a good place on the body

The master warns the client about the most painful and delicate areas where tattoos are undesirable: these are the face, ribs, spine line and genitals. But, as practice shows, there are brave souls who are not afraid of pain - and decide to decorate even their genitals with tattoos.

Which tattoo is better - black or colored?

Here it would be appropriate to say that there is no comrade according to taste and color. For example, according to tattoo artist Petrovich, tattoos made with black ink look more solid and beautiful, that is, in an adult way. And it’s hard to disagree with his opinion.

Tattoo size

A tattoo is an intimate, personal symbol. Therefore, art galleries on the back or chest, as well as arms and legs completely “wrapped” in masterpieces of tattoo art are unnecessary. For a master, of course, a large tattoo is a great way to show his creativity and bring new ideas to life. After all, it is serious, that is, substantial in size, tattoos that take prizes at international competitions, but a person still has to wear it all his life.

How many sessions are needed to get a tattoo?

In any case, high-quality tattoos are made in several sessions: the first is to determine the design; allergy tests - injecting mascara under the skin, observing the reaction; the second is the process itself; the third is correction if the tattoo is not clear enough.

Sometimes the client expresses a desire to highlight or correct something.

Keep in mind: if a person already has tattoos on his body, the master is more willing to work with him. Experience means that he tolerated this decorative procedure normally. If this is a person’s first tattoo, the artist does not agree very willingly, despite the fact that the client signs a document before the procedure in which he takes full responsibility for the consequences (since this is not a medical institution, the tattoo artist does not bear responsibility). But any master does not want his client, after injecting mascara under the skin, to be taken away in an ambulance with an allergy or other exacerbation.

Tattoo care

After you get a tattoo, you will feel pain for some time - from 3-5 to 14 days. It all depends on the sensitivity of your body. Also, in order to avoid infection and speed up the healing process, the tattooed area will need to be regularly treated with an antiseptic; until complete healing, do not swim in the sea or go out in the sun. The artist will tell you more about caring for your tattoo during the recovery period. Don't be shy to ask him questions.

How to remove a tattoo

There are several ways to get rid of a tattoo, and all of them are quite painful, so it is better to think carefully about your decision again. You can get rid of an “eternal” tattoo surgically - removing areas of skin along with the design; Using a laser, the top layer of skin, the epidermis, is removed; or “picture from above” - the tattoo is filled in with paint matched to the color of the skin, that is, the tattoo is not removed, but painted over.

Contraindications for tattooing

If you have serious skin problems, for example, eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, furunculosis, as well as poor blood clotting, it is better to refuse a tattoo so that your condition does not worsen.

If you decide to get a tattoo...

Remember! The artist must change the needle and the tip of the tattoo machine in front of you - the cone into which the needle fits. These things are disposable.

© Flickr Tattoo ink must be of high quality. As a rule, a good master uses proven mascara - his image and prestige depend on this. But if in doubt, you can buy mascara yourself, having previously found out from the specialist how much is needed.
Experts recommend high-quality tattoo ink - Micky Sharps (England), JetFrance (France), Star Bright, Intenze, MOM (USA), Kuro Sumi (Japan), which can be found in specialized stores in our country.

If your first tattoo is successful, you will definitely want another, and another, and another. This is a proven fact, say tattoo professionals. So be careful not to turn into an art museum.

Tattoo meanings

It is also useful to know that the same symbol can have different meanings among different peoples. For example, if the tattoo shows:

Butterfly - memory of the dead (Mexico). Lightness, grace, the emblem of a real woman (Japan).
The dove is a symbol of tenderness, purity and love.
Dolphin - loyalty and wit.
Dragon is strength (Mexico). Hatred and Evil (Japan).
Snake - wisdom and strength (Japan).
Snake with a lion's head - agility, strength, luck (South Africa).
Cat - both evil and good qualities (Japan).
Leo - strength, power, might.
Lotus - purity and femininity.
Leopard - ferocity and power (Japan).
The spider is the master of fate.
Peonies - love and honor (Japan).
Bee - warmth and homeliness (Japan).
Rose - tenderness, pride, love and power (Japan).
Scorpio - revenge (Europe). Wisdom (Japan).
Scorpio and flower - a symbol of love, longevity of married life (Japan).
Owl - mystery, wisdom.
Turtle - longevity.

Why are tattoos made? The reasons are different - to stand out from the rest, to decorate the body with a beautiful design, to visually depict views, beliefs, to attract attention, to imitate an idol, to be in trend... People who believe in the symbolism of signs and its influence on fate usually do not succumb to a momentary impulse, but rather thinking over the details. They answer the questions: why am I doing this? am I aware of the risks associated with health; How can this affect later life?

Tattoo: what is in the hieroglyph for you?

Astrologers are confident that the decision to get a tattoo must be approached responsibly, since it has a direct impact on a person’s fate. However, even skeptics who do not trust astrologers think about the fact that everything that happens leaves a mark in the subconscious, especially if it is a drawing on the body. Thus, people who read a lot of literature before deciding to get a tattoo explain their deep interest with a certain responsibility. They say that it is precisely because of the psychological impact that, without realizing it, we begin to change our behavior and attitude towards life, sincerely believing that only with the appearance of a tattoo will we get what we want.

However, sometimes people resort to tattoos to shock the public. For example, Andrei Makarevich has a drawing in the form of a shark, which tattoo artists refuse to interpret in any special way. They say that the idea for the tattoo came to the singer when he almost grabbed a shark by the tail, swimming so close to it.

But Irina Khakamada studied the basics of graphics and its secret symbols for many years before she decided to get a tattoo. The hieroglyph, which translated means “living” or “existence,” according to Irina herself, helped her survive difficult times:

It was very difficult, and I did what I could to cope with both my daughter’s illness and the presidential campaign.

Tattoos: pitfalls

They advise you to be careful when searching for a tattoo artist and find out as much information about him as possible. After all, this is a person who doesn’t just apply a drawing, he leaves a piece of his energy on your body. His thoughts, feelings and emotions, like a small imprint, will remain with you. There are cases when, after the work of a master with bad karma, a dark streak began in the client’s life: nightmares, family problems, serious illnesses, financial problems. It is no coincidence that in ancient times only sages with good karma applied images to the body.

But even if you used the services of the best tattoo artist in all respects, and problems accumulate in life, perhaps it’s all in the drawing itself. It is very important to find exactly the image that will highlight your individuality as much as possible. Currently, it is difficult to surprise with a body design, because the art of tattooing is gaining more and more fans. Girls who want to visually convey the message of youth, calmness, and tenderness choose flower sketches. And those who want to focus on femininity - a bow. Owners of wings speak of freedom, lightness and purity. You can often find a girl with a tattoo of stars, which mean magic and dreams. If the choice fell on a pen, it will convey lightness, timidity, and subtlety of the soul. Snake lovers emphasize wisdom and strength. Those who want to demonstrate their love of freedom and independence choose a cat.

But, for example, a tattoo in the form of a butterfly is considered an undesirable sign, because for a long time it was tattooed by girls of easy virtue. Corpse-themed tattoos (skulls, dead people or animals) have a negative effect. For example, Angelina Jolie's first tattoo was a hieroglyph on her left shoulder, meaning death. Subsequently, she nevertheless combined it, transforming it into spells of good luck and prosperity, and, probably, the artist had her own reasons for this. No matter how much you would like to impress someone with such a tattoo, it is better to refrain. After all, after a while, your friends will get used to it, and your life may change, and not for the better.

It is also important to monitor the work of the master, because he may make a mistake in the selected inscription or image, which can have a negative impact in the future. For example, Hayden Panettiere has an inscription in Italian, since the actress has Italian roots. But the tattoo was made with a mistake and instead of “Life without regrets” - “Vivere senza rimpianti”, it received a different effect, becoming “Life with regrets”. The singer Rihanna has an inscription in Sanskrit, an ancient Indian language. The translation means "forgiveness, honesty, suppression and control." When photos of this tattoo appeared in the press, linguists noticed an error in the inscription.

Of course, if you wish, you can even get rid of a permanent tattoo using virtually painless laser technology. But this will require money and take a lot of time. Therefore, if you just can’t risk getting a drawing on your body, even though you really want it, there is an alternative - a bio-tattoo. This is a type of applying an image to the skin using natural henna. For such a service you can contact almost any beauty salon. Natural henna is harmless and will last from two weeks to a month. During this time, you will be able to decide and understand whether you really need to go to a tattoo artist.

I want to emphasize the main thing: I am not a prude, but rather tolerant, and I treat all expressions of human vanity calmly. But at the same time, as a professional who has worked extensively and for a long time in the field of bioenergy, I would like to note that any self-mutilation, conscious change (without medical indications) of one’s body is harmful to karma, the destiny of a person. And it can bring irreparable troubles and problems.

The Church is generally strongly against tattoos and plastic surgery, because all these things, according to religious leaders, are a sign of vanity and lack of hope in God. But we meet with you on the pages of the magazine not at all in order to conduct theological debates or delve deep into scientific research. We are talking about examples from life that, here they are, are happening before our eyes. You can check them yourself, see and understand how to protect yourself from evil and other people’s destructive energy. Everyone makes their own choice.

Why does life fall apart?

She came to my appointment with the first snow - a thin, big-eyed girl from a good family.
You can see them right away: well-groomed, calm, confident in their well-being. And only a trained eye can catch the subtle vibrations of anxiety and troubles emanating from a person. Six months ago, Sasha’s newborn child died in the maternity hospital, and just recently her husband left. He said that he was tired of her tears, reflections and heavy energy, which did not allow him to breathe the same air next to his wife and generally be in the same space.

– We loved each other more than anything in the world, we have been together for a long time, since our third year at the institute. The child was long-awaited, the pregnancy was easy and calm. There were no signs of trouble, you know? The doctors could not explain what happened, why my baby lived only a day. My father is an influential man, numerous commissions have been held, but there is no answer. My life has stopped, I simply exist, and at the same time I understand that everything will only get worse with me further... - the girl did not wring her hands, did not fight in hysterics, but simply calmly shared very difficult facts from her life. I saw that there was no damage on her, no evil eye. It was necessary to figure out what force intervened in her fate, and at least somehow, as far as possible, restore strength and give hope that everything would be different ahead.

We met and talked for several days, I tried to figure out all the nuances, paid attention
on all the little things, but could not come to a solution to the problem. At night I had a dream that Sasha was walking along the seashore under the dazzling sun, coming up to a bright tent, bending his head and going inside... I woke up and immediately called the girl: “Bring me all the photos in recent years, where you were at sea, on vacation " A few hours later I was already looking at a huge number of photographs. I looked for the shore that I saw in my dream, and I found it. It was a photo from Goa - sand, a strip of the Arabian Sea and Sasha and her husband hugging in the sunset. And then I saw something that literally left me speechless. On the girl’s leg there was a tattoo - a hieroglyph, widespread in very narrow circles - “Demon of Passion”, this is how the meaning of this ancient inscription is translated.

“I made it there, in Goa, not far from us there was a tent with an excellent master, everyone knows him in that area, he is an excellent artist,” Sasha babbled in fear. “My husband was against it, but I really wanted it.” And the master himself chose a tattoo for me, said that it suits me, that I am very beautiful. My husband got angry, I remember, and didn’t even go into the tent with me then...

Sasha suddenly lowered her head and for the first time in all our communication began to cry bitterly.

“I was already in the first month of pregnancy then, we didn’t know about it, we just had suspicions, and when I returned to Moscow and took tests, everything was confirmed. We were so happy! We were so happy...

So the puzzles come together. I have repeatedly communicated with masters in the field of tattooing, and they all know very well (they often come across them and have many examples, they just prefer not to dwell on this topic) that tattoos can really change a person’s destiny, and sometimes not for the better. It often happens that a person tattoos himself with the first symbol he comes across, without even asking what it means. The most dangerous in this regard are considered to be magical runes and ancient hieroglyphs, which carry a huge supply of alien force, which can be both positive and sharply negative. There are people who deliberately try to change their destiny by artificially applying magical symbols and signs to the skin using special words and symbols. But after a while, many unlucky tattoo fans have to pay for these designs with failures in their personal lives, after which many try to get rid of these marks by all available means.

In addition, the artist himself who applied the tattoo, his energy message, plays an important role.
mood during a long and complex procedure, far from bloodless. Such a person can even imprint his life code or curse into his client's body. The subconscious is an insidious thing, and its memory is excellent. Even if you have forgotten about the true meaning of a tattoo, your subconscious will never forget. And it will constantly break through, even contrary to your personal opinion or common sense. Do not play with runes - not a single person on earth has been able to fully comprehend their meanings, these are the most encrypted hieroglyphs on the planet, each carries inverted opposites. Imagine: you put such a sign on your hand, say, on your hand or forearm - and the rune will constantly change its even the most beneficial meaning. And the subconscious - both yours and your loved ones - will accept this. You will quarrel, cry, love your loved one, and he, feeling the same for you, will leave anyway. The shapeshifting rune will drive him far, far away from you...

The master who applied this sign to the girl Sasha knew perfectly well what it meant. Moreover, I am personally sure that he was simply jealous of some invisible rival who could possess such a beautiful and brave girl. And he insidiously imprinted a terrible code into her fate, which destroyed all her plans, killed her child, and threw her husband out of her life. That is, he simply programmed Sasha for the worst...

You can remove the tattoo visually - this is a painful, painful and expensive procedure. But the mark remains forever. Even with all the latest technologies. I sent the girl to the doctor so that the top layer of her skin could be excised only under medical conditions. But the code, which through blood (and there are no bloodless tattoos) penetrated not only into the body, but also into Alexandra’s karma, fate, was very difficult to completely destroy! We had a serious fight ahead of us...

Be afraid of your desires

In ancient times, it was no coincidence that tattoos were applied to a person’s body as signs that indicated his belonging to a certain family, religion or occupation. The man was undergoing an initiation rite. And such a dedication, culminating in a tattoo, could not be undone. Tattoos in many cultures still connect people with their otherworldly patrons, who transfer to them some of their powers and qualities. Sometimes very bad qualities.

All over the world and in all centuries, tattoo plots are based on the language of symbols, and any symbol has
multiple values. If a person applies a tattoo for the purpose of decoration, this does not mean that he will be able to escape other interpretations. I once talked with a middle-aged lady whose hand was decorated with a “fluttering” butterfly. The woman complained that no one takes her seriously, men do not stick around, at work they treat her in a familiar manner and do not trust her with important matters and decisions. She’s almost forty, but she’s not happy...

Let's return to Sasha, a girl from a good family, who, as entertainment during her vacation, decided to depict a “cute unusual symbol” on herself. Three times she removed the outline of the terrible message of the insidious master so that no traces remained on the skin area. I had to go through a difficult path of healing with her - the code and the symbol itself embedded in the drawing in Goa were too scary. In addition to many energy-restoring procedures, I made her a personalized amulet. She called recently and said that for the first time ever she and her husband met and had a heart-to-heart talk. I won’t prejudge events, but I personally believe that her life will get better.

Now tattoos are no longer considered some kind of underground trend, and tattoos can be seen on a person of any age, gender, profession and worldview. A tattoo decorates and emphasizes a person’s character, his beliefs and affections. But is this really all that a tattoo can do, since this design remains with a person forever? In this post I will try to figure out whether a tattoo can change people, influence their character and change their lives.

You can’t go to a girl empty-handed, so fill both your hands with tattoos.

It’s hard to call a tattoo just a decoration, and not everyone can decide to do it, because one phrase always looms in their head: “it’s for life.” And the point here is not in the well-worn and, in my opinion, meaningless argument “How will you look when you become a grandmother?”, but in the fact that this drawing will be with you throughout your life, you will see it every day and, in in the end, it will begin to be perceived as an integral part of you, like moles or blue eyes (green, brown, whatever).

So, before you get a tattoo, you need to seriously think about what exactly will appear on your skin and how it will affect your life. I'm not talking about mystical cases, but about a completely scientific explanation - about psychological factors and the influence on the human subconscious. But let's talk about everything in order.

The agony of choice or how we decide to make it

What design will you choose when you decide to get a tattoo? The simplest answer: of course, the one you like. There is an opinion that a person likes in others what he himself has. Every person loves himself very much (despite inferiority complexes and perceived imperfections), and therefore his own qualities, seen in someone else, attract him.

That is, the chosen tattoo is a reflection of your character, the qualities that you value in yourself or those that you would like to see. It’s like a small reflection of you, a symbolic expression of your essence. Here are some reviews on this matter from tattoo artists and people who have gotten tattoos.

There are two main opinions: either a tattoo influences a person, or a person chooses a certain tattoo for himself because of some personal characteristics that affect the design and size. If you look at it from this point of view, people with certain characteristics get certain tattoos. I believe that it is necessary to consider not only how a tattoo affects a person, but also why he initially chose such a design.

I am of the opinion that a person gets a tattoo as a reflection of his personality and individuality. And this is often supported by experience. Even some popular inscription has a meaning, but not what is written there, but why the person got such a tattoo. Sometimes, by looking at tattoos, you can determine who the bearer is.Alexander Sinitsyn, tattoo artist, Novosibirsk

I think that we cannot do anything that is not characteristic of us, that is to some extent predetermined. This is such fatalism. A tattoo, yes, a decoration, is what it is, but like any decoration, it is a personification of me.Galea Aponeurotica

It's hard to answer in general since I only have two small tattoos. A text tattoo certainly has a core that is tied to a specific moment in life. I think that short phrases on the body are either a reminder to yourself of what you don’t want to forget (for introverts), or a message to others (for extroverts). Anastasia Goloborodko

On the other hand, as some famous writers and philosophers believed, for example, Hermann Hesse and Erich Fromm, a person initially contains all the personality qualities and all the characters at once, and he can manifest them at any moment.

If you get a tattoo expressing certain personality traits, you emphasize them, and, By emphasizing them, you seem to be affirming just such a character, reducing the opportunity to show another. After all, what we think about ourselves is what we are.

A little about the subconscious

Apart from emphasizing certain personality traits, a tattoo is something that you observe every day. Any images that come to your attention (or are not even registered in consciousness) settle in the subconscious and from there influence behavioral reactions.

Now imagine: a pattern slowly appears on your skin, endowed with a special meaning, appears with painful sensations that last for several days. It is likely that before getting a tattoo, you looked at this design for a long time, wondering whether it was worth getting it and where exactly.

This alone is enough to leave a serious imprint of the image and what is associated with it in the subconscious. And if you consider that after all this you continue to see the tattoo every day, without even paying attention to it... well, you get the idea.

The BBC has an excellent film about the influence of the subconscious on our lives (BBC. Horizon. Is it possible to control the subconscious?). It shows how little we actually control, and how much information remains outside our attention, but, nevertheless, this information is used and influences us.

Maybe it's a matter of faith

Speaking about the impact on the psyche, of course, we cannot exclude the factor of faith. If you believe that a tattoo will change something in your life, it most likely will. It is generally human nature to believe in mystical forces that can help, protect and even radically change life.

There are probably people who believe that if they get a tattoo, something in their life will change greatly for the better, but for such people, for witchcraft to work, they need a ritual, candles, skulls, and a shaman with a tambourine to do the tattoo for them. Personally, it seems to me that this is all psychosomatic, it will work if you strongly believe in it. I heard that something similar is being put on stream in Thailand by Buddhist monks.

There really is such a tradition in Thailand. In March, the Bang Phra Monastery hosts a festival of magical tattoos, sacred designs that only men can receive. Thais believe that Sak Yant tattoos with prayer and blessings provide protection from all misfortunes.

It probably really helps them if they believe.

We understand perfectly well that it is not a tattoo that changes a person, but only himself. And the belief that a tattoo will help with this, like some kind of amulet or talisman, simply helps. As you remember, in Ryazanov’s famous film “Beware of the Car” there was a phrase that all people believe: some believe that God exists, others believe that he does not exist. So it is here.Andrey Lord, tattoo artist, UFO art workshop, St. Petersburg

So if you believe in mystical powers, a tattoo is a great choice. Unlike a talisman, you won’t lose it, and if something helps you, why not?

In connection with all of the above, I would like to give some advice about tattoos:

1. Let's see who we are

When you have chosen a design that should appear on your skin, look at it in more detail: all the details that are in the design, especially if it is complex, the overall feeling of it. Since you chose it, it reflects some of your character traits and personality traits. Think about it, do you want these character traits to stay with you for the rest of your life? Well, one more thing: the process itself can be fascinating, because it is a kind of “cast of your nature.”

2. It’s better not to have names

Each person goes through his own path during life, and it is almost impossible to share it with someone. People often break up, and affection is replaced by indifference or hatred. Tattoos with the name of your ex-loved one, of course, can be filled in with new ones, but even if photographs can evoke a bunch of negative emotions, let alone the drawing on the skin. And so as not to want to do like the British Thorz Reynolds, who cut out a piece of leather with the name of a former friend, it’s probably better to choose something else.

3. Be careful with symbols

Unless you are a logical, impenetrable nihilist, whose common sense is so hostile to mysticism that it runs away from him in horror, it is better to be more careful in using ancient symbols, gods and spirits, which, at one time (or still), are not deprived of attention by believers.

I had a kind of mystical story. One friend decided to get a tattoo of a Japanese merman. This is such a harmful spirit that lures people into the lake and suffocates them there. On the morning of the day when I was supposed to tattoo him, his thousand-liter marine aquarium burst. In general, he decided not to get this tattoo.Roman Lemekh, tattoo artist from the Black Bird salon, Moscow

4. Positivity

Probably, few people will agree to get a tattoo that will initially symbolize something negative, but there will be some. As you know, anger and fear lead to the dark side of the force, and a constant reminder of the negative is unlikely to make you happy, even if it looks super cool.

If we talk about what goals the representatives of ancient tribes pursued when applying certain drawings to their bodies, then a lot depended on the place, design and color of its application.

A tattoo could more often demonstrate a certain status of its owner, regardless of whose body it was applied on - on the body of a nobleman, a warrior or a commoner. Of course, they all differed both in the plot and in the quality of their representation of the intention that the owner or author put into the drawing.

It was believed (and is still believed) that with the help of a tattoo a person tries to reflect his inner aspirations in the form and form that seems acceptable or most accessible to him. That is, in essence, a tattoo is charged with the psychological aspect of influencing society. But despite the abundance of psychological factors of influence, a tattoo, both due to the psychological aspect and due to the iconic influence of the symbol (or symbols), remains an object that is ambiguous in nature.

Any action generates reaction. We have heard about it, read about it, and the action called tattooing is no exception.
Let's first answer the question: Why is it needed, a tattoo? If we leave the word “needed” in our reasoning, then of course, it is not something necessary or important, but, nevertheless, existing as a kind of cultural fact, it carries a lot of information that can be gleaned about the bearer of the tattoo. who knows its meaning, and who is going to apply it. After all, in essence, the one who wants to do it pursues a specific goal. In most cases, this goal is described by psychological and behavioral motivations. It seems to give freedom, self-expression, etc. But in fact, everything is somewhat deeper. And the first motivation, the first sip that a tattoo gives, smoothly moves to deeper layers of influence, directly participating in a person’s life.

Let's start with large layers and large layers of understanding that will allow you to navigate the hidden processes of tattoos and their impact on a person's life.

Place (part of the body) of tattooing and its effect

So. There are two types of tattoos: visible, applied to exposed parts of the body, such as the hands, face and neck, and hidden, applied to the rest of the body.
But in summer many more parts of the body are visible, you say, and what is hidden in winter is visible in summer. Almost true, but in reality, in our conclusions we rely not so much on seasonality, but on certain social rules and norms, according to which a very large number of tattoo influences can be traced.
Visible tattoos serve two purposes. They are achieved jointly, regardless of whether the owner is pursuing them or not. The first goal is social adjustment. A person, through a certain symbol or drawing, changes the attitude of society toward himself. The second is changing your behavior, your self-expression in relation to this society. Society means everyone, indiscriminately.
Hidden - the purpose of such tattoos is to influence a narrow circle of people. With those who are happy and with those who can be close. A person, first of all, thus corrects his behavior and expression of his actions in relation to family, friends and acquaintances.
Moreover, this does not mean at all that when a person applies a tattoo to hidden parts of the body, the direct influence of the design on the circle of the chosen ones is actually implied, but his mood and his attitude will certainly be changed by himself.

A little later we will look in more detail at how and what this influences.

But do not be mistaken in the fact that if it is visible - influence, if not - there is no influence. This is wrong. The influence of a tattoo always occurs and some of the processes, some of the situations that occur in a person’s life, undergo quite a serious change that is worth knowing about.
Now let's list how, depending on the place of application, the influence of a tattoo occurs. And we will divide this influence into external influence, that is, how processes with surrounding people or behavior in situations will be built, and internal, that is, how a person will begin to change.
But in the meantime, we will not consider types of tattoos that are ritual, such as Japanese tattoos.
While maintaining the described principle, they contain much more meaning than in the case we are studying.

Head
External influence - The desire to gain significance and weight in society.
Internal influence - Development of hidden abilities and capabilities. The danger is that the discovery of these abilities is in no way controlled by the individual. This is a spontaneous release.

Neck
External Influence - Demonstration that a person is endowed with something that is not available to others. He considers himself the bearer of what is hidden and important to him.
Internal influence - Internal tension, inability and inability to cope with what is happening in his life.

Left hand (for right-handed people)
External influence - A clear description of one’s aspirations and interests from the people and processes around him. It’s like the motto “I want or I like this.”
Internal influence - One-sidedness and a small number of options when making decisions or taking actions. Stereotyping and well-worn schemes.

Right hand (for right-handed people)
External influence - Active desire for self-expression. The desire to receive more and often something specific from the world.
Internal influence - Firmness and determination, coupled with excessive persistence and lack of flexibility.

Breast
External influence - Challenge to others, reluctance to follow social norms, but a desire to establish your own rules.
Internal influence - Conflict in worldview between one's vision and social norms. The result is isolation and unsociability.

Internal influence - Insufficient support from family and friends

Right foot

As you can see, negative influences are closely intertwined with positive ones. Of course, this does not mean at all that by applying a tattoo to the part of the body being studied, you will receive this effect. But you can get it. Moreover, throughout life this influence will be emphasized in these issues.
This is neither good nor bad. It happens that a person needs help and support in something and then, with the help of a tattoo, he wants to draw it from his inner world.
In addition to where the tattoo is applied, what is applied is also important. Yes, it happens that they paint entire pictures that are not easy to translate due to their semantic load. But if you put the emphasis not on the general appearance, but on the symbolism, then it turns out that there is not so much to understand.
For example, the classic, Morning in a Pine Forest. A whole picture, the meaning of which may somewhat elude understanding. Meanwhile, there are drawn bear cubs, whole and broken trees and... everything. The rest is background, the influence of which has practically no effect on the picture itself.

Examples of basic symbols and their magical meanings
I will give examples of the main symbols and their magical meaning so that you can understand what exactly such a tattoo will bring to your life.

Cross in a circle
Here is a type of pattern symbolizing the sun or the so-called circle of life. A person who chooses such a symbol, namely the circle and its variations, strives for activity in all its forms.
The disadvantage of such a tattoo may be that passivity in many cases, although important and necessary, will be difficult to achieve.

Ornament framing an arm or leg
An ornament framing an arm or leg causes energy to concentrate in that area. Encourages a person to take active action, precisely in the place and aspect in question
It is also necessary to say that such a tattoo will encourage a person to do what he has undertaken with maximum effort. And until the end.

Flowers and their weaving
Flowers and their weaving encourage a person to realize their inner world more softly and femininely.
Among the disadvantages of such a symbol, in particular for women, we can say that nowadays a woman should be different. But it will not be easy for the bearer of such a symbol to show any other character traits other than those emphasized.

Flower
For a man, this symbol largely gives a certain psychological charm, encouraging him to act and act in a non-standard and unusual way.
On the negative side, if I may say so, this is a conflict between the flexibility of influence and the straightforwardness of a male character.

Religious symbol.
This is not only a cross, but also other symbols. First of all, the conversation is about attracting protection and patronage and support into your life.
One of the negative manifestations is that a person with such a symbol becomes more adventurous, more daring in his actions.

Hands crossed in prayer
In this case, a religious symbol is also demonstrated, the meaning of which is almost the same as that of the previously studied one. The only difference is that internally a person with such a symbol hopes more than believes, which softens the previous formulations.

In this case, you also see the ornament that frames the eye. The eye looks and sees, as does the person’s surroundings, which left an imprint on the choice of this symbol. The constant feeling of publicity forces a person to be always on guard.

Stars
The symbol of the eight-pointed star, which formed the basis of this tattoo, speaks of the desire for a harmonious existence. In general, each of the following symbols carries its own load and affects the distribution of forces in the tattoo.
Triangle - active desire to achieve a set goal.
Square - the desire for stability and confidence.
Rhombus - emotionality and sensuality.
Pentagram - the desire for active self-expression, leadership qualities.
Heskagram - balance between the inner world and the environment of a person.
The seven-pointed star is the desire for creation and real creative realization.
The eight-pointed star - as we have already said, the desire for a harmonious material existence.

Person or persons
They talk about the need in their lives to focus on themselves, their needs and their capabilities. Engage in self-realization and individual development.

As you can see, in this case we have a symbol of the sun, consisting of a six-pointed star, a face and a circle. We have already talked about these basic symbols, so you can easily tell about its direction.

Butterfly,
like everything related to the animal world and insects, in its interpretation it suggests relying on the essence, the main characteristics of what is happening in the symbol and correlating it with a person.
A butterfly is a symbol of rebirth, when its caterpillars turn into a beautiful insect with new capabilities.
Panther
activity, grace, swiftness, power, and cruelty, instinctiveness.

Turtle
wisdom, security, and - slowness and slowness.
Snake
activity, flexibility, sophistication, and - causes rejection and forces one to avoid it.

Of course, these are not all types of tattoos that exist in nature or will exist. But our task is not to consider all tattoos, but to understand the principle or causality of their existence.

By now one thing is clear. A tattoo is a form of expression of one’s own idea, thought, aspiration, made in such a way and in such a form that, as it seemed to the person, is the most accessible.
That is, in fact, we can say that what a person wants to express can be expressed in another form and in another way. But, as you yourself understand, the right to act always remains with the one who commits it.
