Snake tattoos and their meaning: transformation and rebirth

Snake tattoos

Cobra, viper or rattlesnake, are some of the most feared names when it comes to talking about snakes. Snakes don't have a middle ground, or you have an irrational fear of them that you can't quite describe or you simply adore them. Snakes have been linked to man since ancient times in many cultures. An animal with a deep symbolic charge that has remained to this day. That is why we should not be surprised by the great popularity of the snake tattoos.

En Tatuantes we have already talked on occasion about snake tattoos, although focusing on some of the best known species of snakes such as the cobra tattoos. But, this time we will try to explain the numerous meanings and symbolism that snakes have as such, regardless of the species that we tattoo. Whether it's a cobra, rattlesnake, or viper, they all have a common meaning. And we will talk about it throughout this article.

If we pay attention to the previous concepts, we realize that the fact that snakes shed their skin every year has been seen by different cultures as a power of healing, rejuvenation or even eternity. An animal that sheds its "aged" skin to release a younger one.

On the other hand, it must also be taken into account that, depending on how the snake tattoo design is, its meaning may vary. For example, if we tattoo two snakes whose bodies intertwine throughout the tattoo, we will be transmitting a message of connection between two mystical forces, union with divine power and even the integration of the opposite.
