Turkish eye tattoos, protection against the evil eye

If not long ago we spoke in Tatuantes on Hand of Fatima or Hamsa tattoosToday I would like to continue with this kind of articles related to tattoos of a certain spiritual nature. And it is that today we are talking about another world-famous symbol and that, in addition, has a certain relationship with the aforementioned Hand of Fatima. Specific, we collect turkish eye tattoos.

If you have had the opportunity to travel to Turkey, you will have seen that one of the most popular souvenirs among tourists is the Turkish Eye. What's more, recently a relative of mine traveled to that country and brought me a small pendant with that symbol. As I say, it is something much more common than we think. Also, although it is related to Turkey, it is just as popular in Greece.

Now, What does the Turkish eye mean? Well, as we say, it bears a certain similarity with the mysticism of the Hand of Fatima. Of Arab descent, he is known as "Nazar" and is given the effect of protecting its wearer from the evil eye. That is why in Turkey or Greece it is quite common to see it in baby carriages or even in the queues of some planes.
