Hieroglyphs: the origin and types

The writing using hieroglyphs originated in the ancient East. The intricate Chinese, Japanese and Korean characters are quite difficult, both in writing and in deciphering. Often in the world of tattoos, of course, there are Chinese and Japanese characters. Korean symbols of writing are not particularly popular even among Koreans themselves - they prefer to use Chinese characters as body art.

If you intend to decorate your body with a tattoo in the form of a character, take care first of all to find out the exact meaning and the correct spelling of the symbol.

The "pioneers" of hieroglyphs in the world of tattoos often did not attach importance to the meaning of a particular symbol, carrying out his choice visually. But nowadays there are a lot of possibilities to define the meaning of any Chinese or Japanese character and thus meaningfully make a tattoo with the chosen symbol.

If you are a supporter of original and rare performance, special uniqueness, and have chosen Korean characters for a tattoo, take care of the correct meaning of translation. Often the meaning of words from Korean to Russian, and vice versa, has some distortions.

Tattoos with hieroglyphs: meaning and features

It is no secret that various unusual tattoos are popular among guys and girls, with no exceptions and restrictions. This also applies to tattoos with hieroglyphs, which are preferred equally by both women and men.

All hieroglyphs have a definite meaning, however taking into account the fact that few people are familiar with the oriental writing, such a tattoo will look mysterious and interesting. Thus, having a body drawing in the form of a hieroglyph, a person may acquire an unusual tattoo with a hidden, understandable only to him, meaning.

As many hieroglyphs exist, so many meanings can be. Some people prefer to do a tattoo using several symbols that add up to a whole phrase. In this case, such a tattoo does not look cumbersome, unlike the usual inscription. The chain of characters looks even more mysterious and original.

Meaning of tattoos

Still, despite the wide variety, there are several hieroglyphs that are found in the form of tattoos most often. Surprisingly, one single symbol in the form of a hieroglyph can mean a whole word. Since it is almost impossible to describe this or that character, let's consider popular tattoos with Chinese and Japanese characters that have a definite meaning:

• Chinese hieroglyphs "Freedom". This type of tattoo symbolizes the acquisition of freedom from any dependence.
• Chinese character for "happiness. The Chinese believe that this sign symbolizes the patronage of the heavens. Very popular among those who want to create a strong family.
• Chinese character for "good luck". A kind of character is a talisman. Preferred by those people who are aimed at winning and need the favor of fortune.
• Chinese character for "life". It represents the host as a person who wants to live a long life.
• The Chinese character for "Good". As a separate symbol is rarely used, unless the owner of such a body drawing did not want to emphasize a side of his character. Often is an additional element in the inscription.
• The Chinese character for "love" is designed for those who want to find love and a reliable life partner.
• Chinese characters representing the signs of the zodiac. Such a tattoo attracts the influence of the planets in all spheres of human life.
• The Japanese character for "eternity" means desire to always be happy, no matter what the circumstances.
• Japanese character "Calm". Symbolizes a person for whom above all mean intelligence and rationality.
• The Japanese character for "Music", surprisingly, the tattoo carries the meaning of healing. What is remarkable is that only one line in the character itself separates the tattoo from a different interpretation.

Illustrative examples with the image of these characters can be found in wide access in the Internet, so you can always see how they look like, including on the body.

Chinese and Japanese characters, in principle, similar in meaning, but at the decision to do tattoos using one or another symbol - better understand the meaning and correctness of the writing. A lot depends on this, including avoiding the need to overdub or vault the tattoo.

The peculiarity of hieroglyphs can be considered the fact that one word, the meaning of which carries each meaning, looks like a full-fledged image as a tattoo. It is not uncommon for many to complement the tattoo with various elements, especially popular are sakura branches, dragons, swords, etc.
