The influence of tattoos on a person’s fate and life. Men's Tattoos with Meaning - Men's Tattoos with Character Strength: Tattoos for Men with the meaning of Strength

A tattoo can simply be a design designed to decorate us. But sometimes there is a story behind the picture, full of love, happiness and sorrow. the site has collected stories where one tattoo could completely change a person’s life.

Some people get a tattoo just to decorate their body. But for many, this is a kind of ritual, an opportunity to imprint on the body an important event or memory of a dear person. With the help of tattoos, people experience difficult moments in their lives or express support for loved ones. It is not always a big colorful drawing with lots of details. Sometimes it is more important for people to give a small reminder that only they will understand.

We have collected touching stories about people who left an important message on their bodies. We also talked to those for whom a tattoo is not just a beautiful design, but something more. Something that can truly change your life.

I got this tattoo during one of the most significant periods of my life. He divided it into before and after.

This tattoo is about acceptance. Accepting yourself, your essence and your capabilities. What does the third eye mean? For some it’s just a definition from Wikipedia, for others it’s something quite tangible. For me, he became a symbol of what helped me look at familiar things differently.

At a certain point in my life, long before this tattoo, I realized that I was not alone. My whole universe, my whole world is with me. I began to see what had previously been hidden from my eyes, to feel things hidden from the material world. What cannot be touched can only be felt. Thus began my esoteric journey, full of all kinds of discoveries, ups and downs. I was immensely grateful to the Universe for this opportunity to feel the subtle plan, for trusting me. I couldn't leave it without a sacred mark on my body. In response to my wish, the world gave me the best master, I didn’t even look for him, he found me himself. I only came with an idea, he drew me a sketch that exceeded all my conceivable and inconceivable expectations. He painted what my soul felt, and to this day I am very grateful to him for that.

I'm 26 years old, I have four tattoos, and I teach Russian language and literature. I got my first tattoo, a glyph, which I came up with myself, during a difficult period in my life. She symbolized for me rebirth and transformation, the passage of initiation through dying.

For me, a tattoo is one of the ways to appropriate my body. I perceive my body as a repository of unique experiences and at the same time as a canvas that carries a message to the world. My message to the world is a message of love for what you do, freedom and dreams that deserve to be fulfilled.

The largest and most noticeable tattoo is a mountain in the clouds, framed by ice axes. She represents the collective image of Khan Tengri and the Matterhorn. I made it as a sign of love for my main passion - mountains, which for me embody strength, beauty, eternity and the path to the divine. I got this tattoo - and in the same year I went to Khan Tengri, and this meeting turned my life upside down.

I wanted a tattoo for a long time, I thought about getting a small but meaningful design or inscription for me. I really wanted to get a tattoo on my wrist, but my mother dissuaded me and insisted that the place should be such that it could be easily hidden under clothes. Then it seemed to me that she was worrying so much in vain, but now I am very pleased that I listened to her opinion, because a noticeable tattoo hardly added bonuses at work in a government agency. There is a certain dress code and requirements for appearance. Although a tattoo would not be a reason for refusal of employment, it would not provide assistance in work.

I’m happy with my mini tattoo, I wear it with joy, I don’t want to redo it or change it. On the neck is the inscription Sic volo, which in Latin means “According to my will.” This inscription did not appear by chance; in my opinion, it is very important for every person to be aware of himself, his desires and needs and try to live in accordance with them. Will is what distinguishes us from animals. Through her efforts you can change your life. I like the idea that we can keep something according to our ideals and thoughts, according to our will.

Victoria Sorokina

I've always liked tattoos. From the age of 17, I already knew that I would definitely do something special on my body. But for a long time I couldn’t find something that resonated with me. I didn’t want to just get a beautiful design; for me, a tattoo has a sacred meaning.

Only 8 years later I found what I was looking for. Now on my left hand there is a mirror of Venus with flowers. The tattoo looks very delicate, but for me it has incredible power. It clearly represents who I am. The sign of Venus is often filled by feminists - women who fight for equal rights with men. Who believe that each of us is visible and significant to this world. That stereotypes that clearly indicate what we should be and what we should do are becoming a thing of the past.

Before getting the tattoo, I was afraid to talk about being a feminist. But now I accepted it as part of myself. I stopped hiding what is important to me. I became more open, began to defend my interests more clearly and speak more boldly about feminism. Because this movement is still associated with a huge number of stereotypes. For example, they tell me that I cannot be a feminist - I’m married! The tattoo, by the way, was a wedding gift from my husband. But this means that we still have a lot of work to do. And the tattoo gives me strength and confidence that I can handle everything.

Some will say that these are not changes. But real change always happens inside first. And this inner work also requires strength and confidence, which I always have when I look at my tattoo.

Alina Shanti

I have several tattoos. I approached each of them thoroughly and thoughtfully, understanding what I was doing and what its meaning was. One of the tattoos, a Buddhist mantra, was done many years ago. It was based on a mantra dedicated to one of the goddesses, who helps in difficulties and is also the patroness of travel. Oddly enough, but soon I began to travel and discover new countries. At the moment I have 20 countries on my account. During difficult periods of my life, I was magically pulled out of various troubles. Stopping a car in time to take a break before a rockfall in the Himalayas, or boarding a bus along a randomly changed route a couple of hours before a mudslide. At these moments, it was as if an invisible force appeared and helped me. Either mysticism or just a coincidence.

I made another tattoo based on my design. This was a mandala into which I put creative energy. This drawing was made at a difficult time for me and was important to me personally. At that moment I didn’t expect anything, but did it as a definite reminder for myself and a guide to the vector to which I was heading. It so happened that the inherent creative energy resulted in interesting projects. I began to receive various offers of cooperation and partnership. I met interesting people and customers. I don’t remember the moment when I was looking for projects myself - the work itself finds me and allows me to fulfill my wildest dreams!

Marine Andy Grant was a big fan of Liverpool Football Club. He even got a tattoo of the fans' motto You'll Never Walk Alone. In 2009, Andy was blown up by a mine in Afghanistan, losing half his leg and part of his tattoo. Now all that remains of the phrase is You’ll Never Walk (“You’ll never walk”).

A twist of fate first led Andy into deep depression. The boy's parents gave him a dog in the hope that it could get their son out of this state. Andy began jogging with the dog - this is how he got used to the prosthesis. This hobby completely changed his life. Andy became seriously interested in running, took first place at the London Marathon and even entered his name in the Guinness Book of Records as the fastest runner with an injury. He recently wrote his own book, which he named after his tattoo - You'll Never Walk. Today he gives lectures and presentations and inspires people around the world.

Alistair Campbell

Fatherly love sometimes knows no bounds. New Zealand resident Alistair Campbell was very worried that his daughter Charlotte would be teased. The baby suffers from hearing problems and is forced to wear a rather noticeable hearing aid. To support the girl, Alistair shaved his head and got an unusual tattoo. A drawing of a cochlear implant appeared above his left ear. When she saw her father with a tattoo, Charlotte said that it was cool.

Recently, Alistair's son also began to lose his hearing. The father was not at a loss - and now Campbell has a hearing aid above each ear. The children have absolutely no problems with their devices and are grateful to their father for his support. We all wish we had such a cool dad!

Decide on a sketch and make your choice responsibly. A tattoo is forever and everyone knows it. You shouldn’t reassure yourself that “Well, you can reduce it with a laser.” Firstly, it is not always possible. Secondly, it’s more painful than getting the tattoo itself. And thirdly, about six months should pass between tattoo removal sessions, and they cost more. It’s better to print out the drawing you like and look at it every morning for a month. If you get bored, it's better to choose something else. You are unlikely to live your whole life with such a tattoo.

Be prepared to spend money not only on the tattoo (which is expensive), but also on the means to heal it: ointment, absorbent diapers, or a special healing patch for the tattoo.

You should not wear clothes made of synthetic fabrics during the session or afterwards. A tattoo is practically an open wound on your skin; to avoid unnecessary irritation, it is better to wear natural fabrics.

Be prepared to spend more than one hour in the session, especially if you are hitting something large. It is possible that you will even have to visit the specialist more than once. On the day of the session, it is better not to plan anything else. This way the artist will be able to work calmly, because you won’t bother him with your “Is it soon? I have to go,” and you will be able to concentrate completely on the tattoo. After all, after you leave the session for 4-5 hours, you will need to wash the tattoo and reapply the bandage. The best way to do this is at home.

If you know that your parents will be against your tattoo, you still shouldn’t beat her on the sly. It’s better to just warn, like “Mom, I’ve left/went to get a tattoo.” When I got my first tattoo, I did just that. I warned my parents in advance what I was going to spend an hour of my salary on. This saved me a lot of problems.

While the tattoo is healing (2 weeks), forget about a hot bath. Tattoos should not be steamed.

Be prepared for the tattoo to fade a little after healing. There's nothing wrong with that, it's normal.

Eat well and do not drink alcohol before your session.

And, of course, get tattoos only from trusted artists, always look at the portfolio. And it’s better to be original, don’t repeat other people’s sketches. This is, of course, optional, but an incubator is not cool.

Specifically for girls.

In addition to classic questions like “how much does it cost?”, “does it hurt to hit?” and “what does it mean?”, be prepared for those that are addressed specifically to the female half. “Who will need you like that?”, “Well, you’re a girl,” “What will you tell the kids later?”, “You walk like a convict, nothing feminine.” In general, be prepared for attention (and not always good attention).

You should not get a tattoo the day before or on “these days.” The body already has something to do, and a tattoo is extra stress. Everything will only feel more painful.

UPD: We wrote above that it is more difficult to find a job with a tattoo. I don't quite agree with this. If you are not going to go to civil service or get a job as a municipal worker, then the likelihood that you will be refused employment because of a tattoo is becoming less and less every year in Russia. Fortunately, our society is gradually getting used to the fact that tattoos are normal. If you can hide your tattoos with clothing or jewelry, your chances are likely to be the same as other job applicants. I know bank employees and teachers who work quietly and at the same time have tattoos on visible parts of their bodies (legs, arms).
