Ancient Japanesse Tattoo
Ancient Aztec TattooTattoos commonly defines a symbol as "a picture or image that tells a story without using words." It has been suggested that symbols such as cave paintings and carvings were man's earliest forms of communication.
Even though we have many ways of modern communication, symbolism still plays a very significant role in our daily lives. Some symbols have deep significance to us or to others, depending on beliefs and personal lifestyle.
When looking for a tattoo design, the question of symbolism often comes into play. If you've wondered what the meanings are to many commonly seen designs, you're not alone.
For whatever reason you might be searching for the meanings of particular symbols, there is a wealth of information for you to find on many subjects, but very little is cut and dry. Sometimes, you will see the same symbols used by contradicting faiths. You may also find more than one meaning for a particular icon. And sometimes, you just have to ignore everything you read and go with your heart.
