Armband TattooTattooing is one of the oldest forms of art performed by man since prehistoric times when they used to imprint on their skin drawings or writings which used to have different significations. The oldest tattooed body was discovered in 1991 in the Austrian Alps and it is about 5,000 years old. For many indigenous peoples tattooing, apart from the meaning of body art, used to represent a ritual practice having deeply spiritual and social significance. Applying a tattoo on both arms meant that that person was a chief and a tattoo applied on one arm only meant an inferior rank chief. These are only a few examples as the world history has plenty of such examples concerning tattoos symbolism. Nowadays symbolism is not as profound as it used to be in the past, but a lot of people choose to have a tattoo applied from personal reasons and beliefs. But it is essential to know that tattooing can’t be performed at home or using improvised equipment. There are professional studios which are endowed with proper equipment so that tattooing should not be painful and the outcome should be the one you expect. As far as armband tattoo is concerned, it is said that tough guys or girls have such tattoos suggesting that they are strong, proud and self possessed. Psychologists say that men respect girls who have an armband tattoo. Actually armband tattoos can be considered classical, because they are the most popular. Maybe because during our childhood we were fascinated by Celtic dragons’ stories, which are a symbol of the eternal struggle of man to overcome evil forces, therefore a symbol of human strength in front of a dragon’s terrifying strength and beauty, armband tattoos representing dragons are quite frequent. It doesn’t matter which social category you belong to, or what your profession is or what geographical area you live in, you can expose proudly your armband tattoo. Dragons are not the only armband tattoo design choices. If you are fond of sun and hot sandy beaches and gentle breezes all year round you can think of Hawaii and choose an armband tattoo based on local exotic motifs, maybe inspired by a shamanic ritual in the moonlight shadow. Feminine armband tattoo symbols are obviously different types of flowers or vines images. Men can also choose other strong symbols like flames or thorns. They can symbolize the power of their love or the poison of their revenge or whatever they want. Snakes are beautiful armband tattoo symbols, because they may look like a bracelet on your arm. It is obvious that each tattoo bearer has a story related to this personal art, to the significance of their armband tattoo colour and design. You can combine if you want, masculine and feminine symbols and you can obtain an amazing story on your arm. If animals fascinate you, irrespective if they are imaginary or real ones, you can materialize your attachment in an armband tattoo. The most fascinating animals are the unicorn, which is a fantastic one, or the horse and the tiger which have many masculine significances in most of the cultures. Anyway, let your imagination running free and get the armband tattoo you like best. Armband Tattoo Pictures
