Raven tattoos

crow

Crows have always been symbolic animals of bad omens. Associated with death, a bad omen or the occult, this bird has earned a not very good reputation. They have even dedicated a saying to them: raise crows and they will gouge out your eyes. But despite everything, this bad reputation is what makes him such an enigmatic being.  

But as Oscar Wilde said, "let them talk about me even if it's bad." This is the raven, a bird that despite having this reputation gives off strength and suspicion at the same time. 

The raven and its symbolism:

This bird has always been surrounded by mysticism, legends and mysteries. References to the raven can be found in practically all mythologies. Even in the Bible. In Norse mythology for example we find Hugin and Munin, the two ravens that rested on Odin's shoulders. In Sweden crows are associated with the souls of people who have been killed. Germany instead binds them to damned souls.

Crows vs Pigeons:

The pigeons seem to have taken the beautiful part. It is curious, we have pigeons that are rather "piggy" birds and that transmit a lot of diseases. Even today they are known as flying rats. But… they are the good ones in the movie. They symbolize purity, truth and justice (Even if they shit on you, they are very pure ...). But let's save the pigeon tattoos for another day.

Then we have the crows. This animal lives in forests, high mountains or even in rugged coastal areas. But one of the most interesting characteristics of the raven is undoubtedly its intelligence. It is one of the birds with the largest brain, they are smart, intuitive and also opportunistic. These are traits closely related to the human being (or should), taking into account that opportunistic can be interpreted as insightful. As you can see, neither the good guys are that good, nor the bad guys that bad.

The raven tattoos:

These tattoos can have several meanings apart from those related to mythology. From the outset, the image of a crow is shocking. Its size, its dark plumage, the general essence that this bird emanates is warning. It is closely associated with betrayal and revenge, but also with protection.

Here we leave you some images of crows tattoos so that you can take some ideas for a very significant tattoo at first glance.
