Clover tattoo

The clover tattoo is very popular among the visitors of modern tattoo parlors primarily due to its many meanings. According to old beliefs, if a person finds a flower with four petals, then catch luck by the tail... Since it is very difficult to find such a clover in nature, people began to depict it on their bodies in order to make themselves more successful in life.

The symbolism of clover is interpreted in different ways in all cultures and countries. In Christianity, the three-leafed flower has become the emblem of St. Patrick, which reflects the essence of the Christian faith: each petal symbolizes the union of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Buddhists believed that clover represents the unity of body and soul... In China, it symbolizes summer, and in India, the Earth and the cardinal points (north, south, west and east). The ancient Greeks depicted clover on the headdresses and clothes of the gods. Some consider it a sign of loss, because this plant is very often seen in the cemetery.

Both women and men can prick this beautiful plant on the body. But at the same time, for each gender, the meaning of a clover tattoo may differ.

A woman with a clover tattoo is a gentle, graceful and attractive nature. A man, on the other hand, is a brave, dexterous possessor of high spiritual strength.

Flower depicted in two variations: with three or with four petals... But the color can be anything: from heavenly to sea, from emerald to dark green. It happens that a tattoo with this plant is made black or white, and at the same time it looks quite original. Sometimes inscriptions, numbers, which are of particular importance for the owner of the tattoo, are added to the flower.

You can draw a clover as you like: it all depends on the client's imagination and the skill of the tattoo artist. This plant has a very simple shape, so it can be used in many designs. Clover tattoo can be done in celtic style, in the form of intertwining lines and knots. And since a four-leaf clover tattoo is considered a symbol of good luck, drawings that are similar in meaning are often added to it, enhancing the effect of the amulet. It can be a horseshoe or a crown.

The flower with three petals represents faith, hope, love. Therefore, in various photos of clover tattoos, you can find a combination with a ladybug - a symbol that has a similar meaning. Together with other plants and flowers, it looks no less advantageous and carries the same meaning: with a rose - love, with a violet - repentance.
