Tattoo on the arm perfectly perform in the tattoo studio Maruha - sketches of tattoos on the forearm, elbow for men and women

In ancient times, tattoos were applied not just as jewelry. The tattoo had a sacred meaning for the man. Particular attention was paid not only to the image itself, but also to the place where it was applied. The human body is like a blank sheet of paper, so tattoos were placed on any part - from the most popular places such as the arm, ankle, shoulder blade, to the genitals or the inside of the thigh.

History of arm tattoos - what do tattoos on the forearm or elbow mean?

The art of body tattooing goes all the way back to antiquity. In different cultures, countries, drawings on the body, on the hands were applied for different purposes. The main purposes that peoples had were informative and identifying.

Tattoos on the arm meant:

Social status. For example, tattoos on the hands, and in general on the body, could do themselves only tribal leaders.
To instill fear in battle, to join the warrior's cause. For example, only warriors of honor could get frightening tattoos on their arms to put up a fight and remind themselves of the anger and hatred of their enemies.
Fortitude, will. The tribes tattooed not only men but also women. For example, girls tattooed themselves to prove their fortitude. There was a belief that a girl with a tattoo could give birth to healthy and strong children.
Explanation of a person's life. For example, a tattoo on the arm could be done by married women, confirming that they have a husband, or the tattoo could mean the number of children.
Ornamentation. Tattoos were applied for adornment primarily by young girls. Mayan women used cactus thorns or fish bones to put soot mixed with saliva on their skin. The Eskimo, Khanty and Mansi peoples also made tattoos as jewelry. They did not display the drawings and hid them even from relatives.
Certain activities. In the Middle Ages, Europeans made tattoos on the arm as identifying marks of their work, profession, activity. For example, butchers had two axes and a bull's head "tattooed" on their left hand.
Religious beliefs. Previously, Orthodox Christians did not wear crosses. Pilgrims coming to Jerusalem dreamed of having a tattoo on their arm in the shape of a cross to signify their approach to the faith.
Breaking the law, incurring punishment. "Bludgeoning" all hands completely was the punishment for criminals. Those who encountered people with such hands understood that they were facing an outlaw.

Now some of these purposes have been overshadowed. Most arm tattoos no longer denote social status or punishment.

For the most part, the meaning of modern hand tattoos is as follows:

Brush

By choosing this location of the design, it is worth remembering that the tattoo will always be in plain sight. Putting it on this area of the hand has a symbolic meaning. Usually men prefer here inscriptions or signs that reflect their character.

Women, on the other hand, rarely choose the brush to apply the tattoo. Those who have decided to do it, differ from other representatives of the weaker sex with their fearlessness and strong-willed character. By the way, such an arrangement of the pattern, as well as on the wrist, can serve as a protection for a girl who believes in esotericism.

On the collarbone

Where to get a tattoo for a girl else? Many confirm that the collarbone is a good place. Very mysteriously and sexually looks tattoo in the dimple above the collarbone or on the collarbone itself. This is perhaps the most successful place on the girl's body, where it is better to make a tattoo inscription. Such a tattoo adorns fragile girls.

Tattoo Meaning Symbols

Studying the meaning of tattoos, it is quite difficult for an uninitiated person to understand. Their owners usually became in the following cases:

When performing a ritual of initiation.
The energy impulses were "implanted" as deeply under the skin as possible. Thus, a person received them not only in the spiritual sense, but also in the physical sense.
In the process of "acquaintance" with a powerful spirit. It was a peculiar mark distinguishing its bearer from other representatives of the human race. In this way, the spirit was told that he should take the marked person under his protection and begin to take care of him.

The Meaning of Magical Marks in Ancient Rites

In itself, the wearable jewelry was only a small part of what was going on.

In the course of a ritual, one entered into a close connection with representatives of the unknown to us World, transforming, changing energetically, applying magical practices.
The external force penetrated deep into a person, and a tattoo was the "window" to the world of matter.

Influence of a tattoo on a person

Psychics suggest that the changes made on the skin constantly emit a certain energy and have an impact on its owner.

Even if you want to get rid of them or make over another drawing, the magical impulses emanating from the first will not diminish.
They will continue their work even without our participation. That is why an ordinary person should weigh everything well and think it over before resorting to the help of magic.

The most fashionable tattoos

For an independent and goal-oriented person, shapes that reflect his or her life priorities are perfect:

Sea breeze,
The night sky with stars,
A wildflower or other.

The family man will get to enjoy the inscription "Family" or "love" on a daily basis.

You can think of many more ideas that are easy to implement. The main thing to keep in mind is that magical tattoos do not tolerate fuss, so take a responsible approach to the selection of a suitable drawing.

Useful to note: How to get rid of bad habits that complicate your life

On the wrist

This is the place where it is best to get a tattoo for a girl who is refined and thin-skinned. A massive wrist pattern or inscription will make the visuals even larger.

The most common tattoos on the wrist:

star placer;
important name;
zodiac sign;
feather;
an inscription.

Despite the seeming innocuousness of the tattoo, you should think seven times whether to get it on your wrist. After all, it will not be easy to hide such a tattoo, even wearing a business shirt made of thick cotton. The sleeves on any clothing have a tendency to be tucked in, or they are tucked in to wash their hands. Therefore, it will not remain unnoticed by the employer.

Elbows

Not everyone will put up with the process of drawing on the elbow. After all, the skin there is quite thin, and unpleasant sensations abound. But nothing can stop a true connoisseur of originality! Such people rarely take the easy way out. The drawing on the elbow should reflect the inner world of the owner. Usually the choice of men falls on ornaments, abstracts and various inscriptions.

Women choose more subtle and delicate variants of tattoos on the left arm. Photos of tattoo options on the elbow demonstrate the originality of their owners. The inscriptions and symbols that will decorate a woman's elbow are significant. Therefore, you will have to give a lot of thought to the appropriate option.

On the coccyx

Where to get a tattoo on the body of a girl very bold? Many men consider a tattoo on the tailbone vulgar, provoking sex without commitment. Even if the girl did not do it with this in mind, it will be difficult to get rid of the stereotype.

However, it is this kind of tattoo that turns many men on. And it's no secret. If you plan to make a statement, wear low-waisted jeans combined with cropped tops. If a girl dreams of meeting the only one, you will have to pay attention to opaque dresses, pants and skirts with a high waist.

Ideas on what to do are pretty limited. Some young ladies also stuff rather epathetic images on their bodies: cartoon characters, girls in sexy poses and even angels.

Steps

The planning stage

Pick a pattern a few months in advance of your visit to the salon.

Choosing a pattern is a highly individual process. Perhaps you will be inspired by tattoos you find on the Internet, or symbols or images that have meaning to you. Maybe you just like a certain picture. Try to devote at least a couple of months to choosing a pattern so that you don't regret your choice later on.

If you're afraid of pain, get a tattoo on a less sensitive area of your body.

If you have not tattooed before, it is best to start with a place where the pain will not be felt very much. This way you can assess your pain threshold without torturing yourself with unbearable pain. If you want to tattoo in a more sensitive area, you can come back for a second or third tattoo later.

The least painful areas are the thighs, biceps, calves, and other areas with lots of muscle.
If this is your first tattoo, do not get it on the inside of your knee, in the rib area, under your arms, on your nipples, eyelids or genitals.
At the same time, don't let fear limit you! Don't be afraid to do what you want and where you want.

Plan to place the tattoo on flat and healthy skin.
You can use a tattoo to camouflage tight scars and uneven areas of skin, but the picture will be clearer on even skin. Choose a relatively clean area to make it easier for the master to work on your skin.
Choosing a Master
1. Examine portfolios and social media reviews.
Do not choose the cheapest salon if it is important to you that the tattoo is of high quality. Tattoos do not wash off, so it may be worth spending more money on quality work if the salon has good reviews.

Look at the portfolio of the salon masters.

In many salons, you can see the work of the masters online, in the salon itself, or on request. Compare works from different salons and choose a master whose work is closer to your style.

Each master works in his own style. If you liked some tattoo, make an appointment with the master who made it.

Go to a salon.

When you find a salon with good reviews and work that suits you, go there and talk to the staff before you sign up for the procedure. Ask questions to the master or make an appointment with the master of your choice, assess the atmosphere in the salon.

Pay attention to how clean the salon is. Ask about the qualifications of the salon masters and where they studied.

Research the laws regarding licenses and cosmetic procedures in your area and make sure the salon is authorized to provide these services.

Ask the salon staff about sterilization of instruments. Instruments can be autoclaved or sterilized by other means. In addition, the salon may use disposable tools.

Agree on the date of the procedure.

Go to several salons and choose a salon and a master that you like the most. When choosing, consider the quality of work, safety and artistic style. Make an appointment for a specific date by phone or in person at the salon.

To protect yourself from impulsive decisions, try to schedule a date in at least a week or two. If you change your mind, you can cancel the appointment.

Some salons allow you to get a tattoo without an appointment, but if you want to get really good results, it's better to make an appointment in advance. This way the artist can work more thoroughly on the sketch of your tattoo.

Discuss the sketch with the artist at least a few days before the appointment.

Many tattoo artists need a few days to prepare the stencil, the right paint and tools for the tattoo. Talk to the master in person or by phone 2-3 days before your appointment.

Send or bring examples of what you like to the master so he can study them.

Preparing for your salon visit

Eat before your procedure.
Before your salon visit, it's important to eat a little something healthy. This will keep you from fainting during the procedure.
- Try to eat protein and complex carbohydrates. Avoid refined sugars.
Arrive 15-20 minutes before the procedure.
You will need to fill out paperwork before the procedure, so try to arrive early. Also, this way you can have another conversation with the master or ask him questions.
Talk to the tattoo artist about your medical condition.
If you have a specific medical condition, ask the tattoo artist if you can get a tattoo. Tell the tattoo artist about your past and chronic medical conditions. This will allow the tattoo artist to consider possible risks and take necessary precautions.
- If you have a chronic illness (such as diabetes or epilepsy), take a doctor's note with you. Some salons require a doctor's note to ensure the safety of the client.
Do not move while the artist is shaving and cleansing your skin.
When the tattoo artist is ready to work, he will clean the desired area with alcohol and shave it with a disposable razor. Try not to move while the artist is preparing your skin for work. If you need to sneeze or make a sudden movement, warn the tattooist.
- If you have sensitive skin, tell the tattoo artist to clean and shave your skin gently. But remember that tattoos are more painful on sensitive skin.
Inspect the stencil when the master will transfer it to your skin.
When the tattoo artist has cleaned your skin, he will start transferring the stencil with soap, dry deodorant or a special marker. Check the stencil before the artist transfers it to your skin so that any mistakes or inaccuracies can be corrected in time.
- The stencil will allow the artist to repeat the design on your skin exactly.

The meaning of magical tattoos

Practitioners in the field of esotericism believe that a body drawing can be selected so that it has a positive change in the fate of its bearer. Certain symbols bring good luck, attract financial prosperity and provide reliable protection. But you must understand that decorative tattoos do not have such power, only magical ones.

The origin of body art

Paintings on the body, applied in a special way and for exceptional occasions, can be found in various nationalities. We owe their emergence to the inhabitants of Africa, South America, Asia, and representatives of the old Nordic schools. Magical tattoos are most often performed by spell casters. In this case the process is accompanied by a special ritual and bears in itself not so much aesthetic, and more magical meaning.

If you dared to place a representative of our fauna or flora on your body, then in the table you can read what exactly characterizes each of them and choose the most suitable variant for yourself.

Animal tattoos meaning

Name	Meaning
Cat, horse, deer, tiger, panther.	A sense of dignity and self-respect, sensuality and fragility.
Dolphin	Symbol of truth and tenderness, bringing success and liberation from external chains.
Butterflies	Sensitivity and vulnerability.

Colored or solid colors.

The choice of color for a tattoo should also not be random. Each tone can characterize you as a person in its own way. All people unconsciously perceive colors and their symbolic meanings. Trying to stand out among his surroundings, a person must understand which of "his part" he will demonstrate to those around him. Therefore, not only the subject, but also its color content will be important.
