Tree tattoo
Contents:
Trees have deep philosophical significance in many cultures and traditions. In my opinion, the most interesting is the Scandinavian mythology, according to which the creators of the world created a man from an ash tree and a woman from an alder tree.
Some trees are incredible in size and properties. One of these properties is fantastic longevity - the age of the oldest tree on the planet is more than 9,5 thousand years.
In many primitive religions, trees were an object of worship, rituals with their participation were performed ancient celts and druids.
According to some beliefs, a tree has a soul and is capable of transmitting energy. Crowns and branches give blood to birds and animals, the fruits of trees have long been a source of food.
According to fantastic works, whole civilizations are formed around the tree of life - for example, noble elves, or brave inhabitants of a distant planet Pandorafrom the movie "Avatar". John Ronald Rowle Tolkien endowed trees with the ability to think, speak and move in the pages of his books.
The meaning of the tree tattoo
The main meaning of all tree tattoos is natural growth and development... Such a tattoo is characterized by its owner as a harmonious, holistic personality. Another meaning is the ability to recover, regenerate, overcome difficulties.
It is quite logical that given the enormous possibility of tree species, each of them can have a different meaning.
For example, among girls it is extremely popular cherry blossom tattoo, which is called the Japanese cherry. This tree is a symbol of Japanese culture, symbolizes grace, mystical beauty and personifies feminine energy. Ash (remember the Scandinavian myths), on the contrary, is associated with the masculine principle.
Some tree tattoos convey to the wearer some of the properties of the corresponding trees, for example, the strength of an oak, the flexibility of a birch. In general, a tree tattoo means stability, life and harmony.
Places of tattooing a tree
For an artist, such a picture is incredible patterns, lines, color transitions... When sketching your tattoo, pay attention to detail, you may want to combine several symbols in one image.
And of course, out of respect for these majestic creatures, tattooing is recommended on large areas of the body, such as the chest and back.
I propose to evaluate some popular photos and sketches of a tree tattoo.
