In the modern world, you yourself come up with the meanings of tattoos. If these are not prison or army, everything else is up to you. We have a huge encyclopedia with tattoo symbols and their meanings, right there we will just show cute tattoo sketches with meaning. Get inspired with us!

Angel

In religions, angels serve God, protect from evil spirits and protect people. They are a symbol of purity and spirituality, fidelity and love. It is believed that a person who has made a tattoo in the form of an angel is forever under his protection.

Infinity

Butterfly

Wolf

The wolf brings strength, courage and brave character. Both boys and girls stuff it, most often in realism and graphics. We talk about this in an article dedicated to the symbol of the wolf.

Tree

The tree has a deep meaning: in the legends of many cultures, it is considered a wise living being, able to breathe and communicate with each other. The image of a tree symbolizes the cyclical nature of life, a special connection between heaven and earth, fertility, and magical abilities.

Joker

Most often they make a tattoo with the Joker from DC comics. It has no definite meaning and is stuffed by fans of the universe. The image of the Joker as a character from playing cards symbolizes the duality of character - today he is wildly having fun, tomorrow he is depressed, the day after tomorrow he steals, and in a moment he distributes gifts.

In the criminal world, the Joker tattoo shows a gambling gambler and a swindler, a professional player who wins at cards.

The Dragon

Strength, power and wisdom. A tattoo with a dragon is stuffed both by fans of this beautiful creature, and those who want to gain knowledge, some kind of spirituality, peaceful power. We have about Celtic and Japanese dragons - the most popular in tattoos.

Unicorn

A symbol of absolute purity and good magic. They helped people in trouble and carried unusually strong magic in their horn. Killing a mythical unicorn was considered a terrible crime.

Raccoon

Raccoons are smart and cunning animals, they are easily trained and adapt to any weather. The internet is full of gifs of raccoons walking funny, stealing door mats, and eating out of dog and cat bowls. Yes, they are notorious thieves, so a tattoo with a raccoon may reflect the duplicity of the owner. But there are also positive values: a versatile character, unpredictability, useful cunning.

Bug

The ancient Egyptians revered scarab beetles as guardians of new life, symbols of rebirth and immortality. Now bugs are made by insect fans or those who believe that it protects from the evil eye and trouble.

Crane

These birds are especially deified in the East: among the Japanese, the crane symbolizes longevity and wisdom, among the Chinese - immortality. In Europe, cranes are harbingers of positive developments that lead to prosperity.

Snake

Definitely a symbol of wisdom. In India, there is a cult of worship of the snake, the cobra is a sacred reptile. In ancient Egypt, it was a symbol of power; in Greek myths, the god of medicine Asclepius once saw how one snake healed another with the help of herbs. It is believed that snakes know many secrets, including the universe, birth and death.

Zodiac signs

A tattoo with a zodiac sign is suitable for those who believe in them. It is believed that the image of its symbol will bring good luck to the owner.

Yin and Yang

Dark and light, day and night, sun and moon. In Chinese philosophy, yin and yang symbolize opposites that interact with each other and are the fundamental basis of all that exists. They reflect the balance of good and evil, harmony in the world.

Hieroglyphs

Usually they make a hieroglyph with one meaning - love, strength, loyalty, family. Read ours with the correct hieroglyphs.

Whale

Thanks to the famous trio of whales, which held the Earth on itself, these huge mammals became a symbol of the universal beginning, the original, great, colossal. Therefore, in tattoos with whales there is often space, they are depicted flying through the sky, calm, unruffled.

Crown

A symbol of power, popular in the criminal environment. A prisoner with a crown tattoo is an authoritative person in the zone who does not want to improve and does not like order.

Often such drawings are made by people who are far from crime. We recommend that you carefully choose the image and it is better to add something of your own to it so that there are no unpleasant associations. Even if you do not communicate with those sitting, they can be found on the street. People are different, their tolerance too. Be careful.

Space

The universe has been attracting people ever since we learned to look up. Space is a symbol of peace and integrity. In the beauty of the stars it is always quiet and serene, there is no concept of time, and space is infinite. Cosmic tattoos look as mysterious as the cosmos itself, but choose the artist carefully: only a professional can handle purple, blue and turquoise shades well. In the hands of a beginner, such a tattoo will look like a bruise.

a lion

The lion is the king of beasts, fair, wise, all-knowing. His image is a symbol of respect and power of kings, courage and nobility. Tattoos in realism and graphics are popular, which emphasize the beauty of the animal and allow you to beat the anatomy of the body.

Fox

While we have a fox - the very cunning and trickery, in China it embodies longevity, and in Japan - prosperity and abundance. The Japanese put clay figurines of a fox near the entrances to temples and houses, giving the key to the barn in their teeth so that well-being always remains with the owners of the home. The fox is a symbol of ingenuity and a sharp mind, she is wise, independent and knows her own worth.

dream Catcher

An Indian amulet that does not let bad dreams into the house - according to legend, they get tangled in the web while the good ones pass through. Many Indians believe that it is inappropriate to use an amulet for everyone, it has turned from a talisman into a commodity without special meanings.

Jellyfish

Graceful jellyfish with long tentacles represent peace and harmony. They are often made by fans of the sea, and in the hands of a professional master, insanely beautiful tattoos are obtained.

Feather

Rose

A symbol of joy, love, beauty and youth. Even in funeral rites, a rose means the memory of a person and eternal joy, and in some tattoo styles it is the most popular symbol.

Fish

Lynx

This feline representative symbolizes a cautious and secretive nature in relation to strangers, but at the same time she is reasonable, intelligent and fair. Suitable for those who are distinguished by reasonableness, and just for all lynx lovers.

Owl

The first thing that comes to mind is wisdom. Definitely. In ancient Greece, the owl accompanied the goddess of wisdom and learning Athena, the Indians consider her the personification of the mind and protection, in other cultures she was also considered a seer.

Heart

Since ancient times, the most famous symbol of love. They love with their hearts, they break hearts, they rejoice with their hearts and follow his dictates. In tattoos, his images express love for a person, parents, friends, capture a sad experience or make a reminder of a departed happiness.

Tiger

The tiger is considered a ferocious predator, so for many people tattoos with his image reflect aggression, cruelty and a desire for power. In a criminal environment, the head of the tiger shows the hostility of the owner and communicates that he is always ready to fight back. In India, tattoos with a tiger symbolize a brave warrior.

Flowers

Tenderness, lightness, beauty. Roses and peonies are popular in tattoos, they are woven into patterns, decorate animals, add text and emphasize the anatomy of the body.

Turtle

First of all, determine the reasons why you want to get a tattoo, this will help narrow down the search for suitable designs. If you want to express your true self in this way, decide on things that inspire you or have a special meaning. If you are thinking about getting a tattoo dedicated to an idol or a loved one, imagine the things that this person associates with or likes.

Before you start looking for a specific sketch, be sure to look for different examples of tattoos that can stimulate your imagination. The easiest way to do this is using the Internet, but you can look for examples in specialized magazines. Decide if you want to get a color or monochrome tattoo. If you like a particular drawing, print the image and show it to your chosen tattoo artist. If you have general ideas about the style and color of the future tattoo, describe them to the master, most likely, he will offer you to choose a pattern from the available catalogs. In order for the selection process not to drag out, you need to have a clear idea in your head about what exactly you want. If you liked some of the sketches, but would like to change something in it, ask the master if it is possible to finalize the drawing.

Size and detail

Decide on the size of the tattoo, keep in mind that small tattoos should be kept as simple as possible, as ink and pencil can produce finer lines than even the best of tattoo machines. What looks good on paper doesn't always look good on skin. If you have found some perfect image and want to make a tattoo with it, you can ask the artist to slightly increase the size of the picture or reduce the amount of detail at the same size. Keep in mind that enlarging the design will add more detail to the tattoo and will most likely make it more alive. This, first of all, concerns sketches with muzzles of animals, faces, and other details that require a believable, almost photographic rendering.

It should be borne in mind that any tattoo after a certain time slightly blurs and turns pale. How quickly and exactly how this happens depends entirely on whether you properly cared for your tattoo during the healing phase, and on the individual characteristics of your skin. Black pigments are much more stable than others, which is why many tattoo artists believe that there should be as much black as possible in the drawing. Tattoos with clear black outlines blur much less frequently. Any tattoo will require correction over time, you just need to be prepared for this.

Greetings to tattoo lovers and those who are just starting to get acquainted with this topic!

On this page you can find original sketches, photos and drawings of Tattoo. All works are the property of the masters and are posted solely for familiarization and development of their unique ideas.

For your convenience, the catalog is divided into subsections with different styles.
Navigation is in alphabetical order.
Each sketch is accompanied by information about the author, a selection of similar works and the opportunity to discuss it with visitors to the portal.

Why choose an original sketch?

It would seem that the question is so simple that it does not require explanation. Nevertheless, in the presence of chic masters and an endless amount of information on the global Internet, there are those who want to make themselves a tattoo “as in the picture”. Many do not see the difference between a regular drawing and a sketch for a tattoo, but this is very important! Not all images from the World Wide Web are suitable for application to the body, but many of them can be reworked to an individual sketch (taking into account contouring, shadows and color reproduction).

Let us analyze in sequence what the value of an individual sketch is hidden in.

1. A person with a tattoo in a conspicuous place should be prepared for the fact that public attention to him will be increased. Some will simply look at the drawings with interest, while others will not hesitate to ask questions. After the standard topics about whether it hurts, how much it costs and how it will look like in old age, you will hear: "What does she mean?". If you have a picture that is not quite obvious =) And then few people like to answer: “Nothing, I found it on Google” or “I don’t know, it was in the catalog of standard sketches”. No one says that all drawings on the body should have a deep meaning, which you need to talk about, raising your hands to the sky and rolling your eyes. But it is much more pleasant when you are aware of what you put on your body, and you can easily explain your motives (at least to yourself, because no one is obliged to account for their tattoos to anyone else). Of course, someone decides to put a picture on the body absolutely spontaneously, under the influence of some emotional events. As a rule, such clients then come for the mixing of their "masterpiece".
2. Since the tattooed body is an object of creativity, it is worth considering how many people want to become the owners of a second-rate work of art? We are now talking about tattoos - copies. After all, it is the originals that are priceless examples of the greatest craftsmanship. Exhibited in museums and bought up in private collections only genuine samples. No one will read the paperwork of an amateur when the greatest works of the literary genre are available. That is why the original sketch, developed individually for you, is so highly valued.
3. Experienced and talented master always happy to work with clients who bring him new and reckless ideas. As an artist, he wants to create and create (but sometimes destroy) =) Avoid tattoo artists who offer to repeat the sketch of one of his clients. The tattoo is a private artistic property in a single copy. It should not be repeated on the body for everyone.

Study the original author's sketches on our website, get ideas and fly to your master on creative wings =) Together you will create a unique piece of artistic tattoo that will become your companion for life.
