Tattoo with a chain mail - a full description, places of application, options sketches, interesting photo ideas

Tattoo - from ancient times it is a great way to tell the world about your character, the principles of life and experience, as well as to show your social significance or determine your own achievements. At the same time it is a way of self-discovery and a peculiar way of making a promise to yourself, setting a goal or a lifelong imprint of a significant event or a person important to your heart.

Some people get one or two tattoos, some get themselves completely tattooed. It all depends on everyone's desires and goals. Tattoos and their symbols are impossible to count. At the same time, there is a set of clear and easy-to-read signs and symbols that can tell a lot about their owner through tattoos.

Among the common tattoos is an image of armor. Why and who predominantly chooses this particular tattoo? What versions there are and how they may differ from each other? There are enough pictures of armor on the Internet, how not to get lost in the variety?

Armor always tells about the strength and inner resilience of its owner. Most often it is made by men, less often by women. It is not only a ballad of strength, but also a story about the beauty of your own body. Analogous to the ancient ways of protecting oneself in a bloody battle, a tattoo can preserve the confidence of its owner while remaining completely weightless.

Variations

There are many themes and readings of the same image. Here are the most common ones:

  • An accurate reproduction of historical armor. The picture and method of weaving can be chosen based on a person's perceptions of the world. So he can be a patriot, or love knights, and so on.
  • Fantasy armor as a superpower and superdefense. Such can be drawn from the motif of this or that movie, reproduce favorite toys and quote characters - role models for the man.
  • A combination of real and not real. For example, the addition of armor parts of the skin or biological components, where the armor takes the role of a second skin.

All tattoos with armor can be divided into two large groups: realistic and greivosh.

Meaning

Perhaps this is the simplest tattoo in its interpretation. Everything is clear at the first look at the image. In any variation, the armor will speak of simple and understandable truths:

  • Protection (of oneself and one's loved ones, one's surroundings, one's possessions);
  • Protection including spiritual, not just physical;
  • Inner strength and power;
  • Honor (including in the romantic aspect through association with knights and the beautiful era of veneration of beautiful ladies and duels in honor of them);
  • A man's strong energy and energy;
  • Masculinity;
  • Firmness and steadfastness of the wearer's character
  • Readiness for feats and battles for good.

It is not uncommon to see additions to the armor itself. These are symbols of all kinds - trefoils, runic and Vedic signs, emblems of knights and other signs of similar subjects.

Slavic symbols - a separate layer in such tattoos, it is associated with the mythologem of Russian bylinas. Also as additional symbols can be used birds - eagles and falcons, a variety of animals endowed with masculine power - lions, bears and unicorns.

The nature of birds and animals can complement the meaning of the tattoo and reveal additional sounding in the character of its owner.

The tattoo is a kind of continuation of an ancient tradition. While armor was once a symbol of the most prestigious profession for men - being a warrior - the paradigm has now shifted. Wearing uncomfortable things on themselves to possess the quality of a warrior is no longer necessary, but for the sake of preserving meaning and demonstrating it to those around them, men have often begun to tattoo themselves with tattoos based on armor.

Where do you usually get a tattoo of armor?

Variations in location on the body:

  • Arm;
  • Shoulder;
  • Chest;
  • Forearm;
  • Clavicle;
  • Back.

It is much rarer to find it on the leg. If it is a leg, it is most likely the lower leg. Most often they are monochrome pictures, less often with small inclusions, such as red as a symbol of blood. Tattoos are usually detailed and clearly represent the structure of the metal.

Women do such tattoos very rarely. If one meets a girl's tattoo, most likely she is an Amazon and a girl of great inner strength, who does not much need the patronage of a man. In another case, the message on the body can be read as a desire to find a strong partner, which the girl has not yet met on her way and she has to solve all issues on her own.
