Suggestive tattoo
The lily is a beautiful flower for its bright and varied colors, its huge pollen covered pistils and its strong fragrance; perhaps because of this and its peculiar shape, the fleur de lis (its representation) has been used as emblem of kings, criminals, religious, boy scouts, knights and proud tattooed
It represents The Tree of Life, the light, the resurrection and the philosopher's stone of the alchemists. Symbol of Freemasonry, it is common to see it especially in architectural works related to members belonging to it.
Meaning of the Fleur de Lis
The fleur de lis and its sexual connotations
Given its resemblance to the letter psi, as well as to a butterfly, it is considered by psychology as psyche symbol. For psychoanalysis, the fleur de lis represents a phallic symbol since it graphically resembles the male genitalia (later they say of Freud)
For male members of the Order of Santiago who defended the pilgrims who visited the tomb of the apostle with their sword; his cross bore a fleur-de-lis on three of the four points, something that can still be seen today.
But not everything is sexual symbolism, for the Catholic Church It represents both Saint Joseph, the Virgin Mary and the Holy Trinity.
A big tattoo or a small one?
It is one of the most common figures in the heraldry. In France it was not only used to represent the crown, but to mark criminals as related by Alexander Dumas in his novel "The Three Musketeers".
The French were not the only ones, the German Mafia Hache He branded the corpses of his enemies with a fleur-de-lis: so that no one would forget, so that all would fear.
It is a curious drawing like tattoo. The usual thing is to tattoo it in yellow, black or purple. I have seen very large fleur-de-lis tattoos but personally I prefer them small, barely visible on a wrist or ankle.
Do you dare to mark it with Branding? If you get a good tattoo artist, the result can be brutal.
