Many criminal male tattoos feature women. However, the design does not necessarily symbolize love or lyrical feelings.

What does the tattoo mean for women?

In addition to the tattoo in the traditional form and with traditional meanings, images of the so-called "crowns of princesses" are popular among girls.

If the traditional tattoo in girls from the male version does not differ much, and a girl with such an image on her skin is characterized by the desire for power and high achievements, then the decoration of the princess is a completely different cultural context.

The crown of the princess is a drawing, more often in the style of "minimalism", repeating the contours of the famous Disney Cinderella crown or the outline of any other with "teeth" (such are associated with fairy tales). Such a tattoo can mean two very different things:

  • romanticism of the tattoo bearer (she is a princess and is waiting for a prince);
  • the girl positions herself as a status "trophy" for a man in power.

Such semantic discrepancies are possible for the reason that the "princess crown" is a fairly new symbol with an unstable meaning.

The meaning of the prison tattoo

The symbolism of the tattoo in the zone has always been a little more complicated than the generally accepted and differed significantly from it. But in the case of the crown, everything is quite simple. A tattoo representing high status was the privilege of "status" prisoners - thieves in the law.

Some details of such a tattoo also carried information. For example, the glow around the crown is not just a glow. The number of beams of light was the number of "time served" by the person.

Now the meanings of "for all" tattoos have almost completely moved away from their prison prototypes and exist in parallel with them.
