Nowadays, to get a tattoo you have to know the meaning, the provenance, the origin, etc. of the design that you are going to tattoo. Not to mention getting tattoos without meaning. But, do you really have to give more importance to the meaning or symbolism of the tattoo than to its appearance?
I will not be the one to deny the beauty of knowing the history of tattoos, something that I have already talked about at some time. But I won't be the one to run against meaningless tattoos that add a touch of beauty to the skin, either.
To make a comparison, this situation with tattoos reminds me of music. Nowadays, to be able to say that you are a fan of a group or a musician, you have to know the life and miracle of that person (s): relatives, where they were born, lived and, sometimes, even their favorite food ... It does not work just if you like their music.
But let's get back to the topic of meaningless tattoos. The look a tattoo offers is essential. No one would get a very symbolic tattoo that looks so bad that they don't want to show it. We cannot ignore the beauty of ink.
Of course, I have already commented on Tatuantes It is interesting to know the symbology of the design that you are going to get tattooed, even if it has nothing to do with the reason why you got it done. Let me explain: a tattoo may mean 'overcoming', but this overcoming is not the reason why you get a tattoo. Even if it has nothing to do with you, knowing the meaning of what you show is always nice.
Anyone can be a meaningless tattoo. It can be a tattoo that does not contain any symbolism or another that, as we have just said, does have a meaning, but does not correspond to us.
In short, I think, When it comes to getting a tattoo, the important thing is to do it with your head and know that you will not stop liking after two months. But, do you really have to give up a tattoo because its symbolism does not go with us? What do you think?
I have a tattoo of the boa directing an elephant of the little prince. People always ask me what it means, and I always tell them a made-up story with a lot of exaggeration. In the end I tell them that it is not true and that I only have it because I like it a lot and I really like how it looks. And in the end they always end up with a face that they would have preferred to stay with the invented story to find out that it is just a treat.
