Like many aspects of life, the world of tattoos is not without superstition and urban legends. And it is that, like some myths about tattoos, there has been around the net for many years an interesting question that I would like to address today in Tatuantes. Do you always have to have odd tattoos? Much has been heard about the fact that a tattooed person must always have an odd number of tattoos on their body.
Otherwise, it will bring bad luck. And something else. Anyway, doing a quick investigation by serious and specialized means in the world, I have reached two conclusions. On the one hand we have superstition as such and on the other, the fact of an urban legend that has been created around this statement. First of all and talking about the fact that you always have to wear odd tattoos, we have to go back to when the mummy of Otzi was discovered, a man who lived around 3.300 BC.
This is the oldest mummified person ever found tattooed and the number of tattoos we find on his skin is 57. It is said, comments, speculated ... that the myth about odd tattoos was born as a result of this discovery, although not it is entirely clear. Despite this, and if we continue investigating, we will also find a reference to number seven.
Many are those who affirm that the odd number of tattoos that we should have is seven. And it is that seven is a magic number par excellence. There are seven days of the week, seven wonders of the world, seven chakras, seven deadly sins or seven are the seas of the planet.
To put an end to this article, the truth is that there is no logical reason that supports the ideal number of tattoos that a person should have to suffer good or bad luck. This is subject to other issues and beliefs that are more personal than popular. In any case, the number of tattoos you have is not synonymous with good or bad fario. But, since we are, how many tattoos do you have? As of today I have 15 tattoos.
