There are tattoos that perform only a decorative function, there are works whose symbolism is guessed far from immediately, and there are those whose meaning is obvious at a glance. The blade is a symbol that is unambiguous and completely understandable. For many people this image causes a negative reaction and even condemnation, but if we all were constantly looking back at the opinion of others, tattoo-culture would never become so popular as it is now. The most common is the blade tattoo on the hand, the meaning of such works we will consider today in more detail.
Dangerous razor: general meaning
A razor is indeed dangerous, as it has an incredibly sharp blade. It is necessary to use such a device very carefully so as not to injure yourself. Sailors on voyages, having shaved their beards with a dangerous razor, very quickly came to the conclusion that it was impossible to shave without consequences, because the ship was constantly rocking. They gave up shaving and began to grow beards.
The inventors of the razor can be considered the military. Wanting to achieve perfect smoothness, they "scraped" the face with sharp knives and daggers. The effect was stunning, so out of the knives masters invented a more convenient device with a lockable lid. Shaving with such a device became fashionable because it gave men a special masculinity. After all, using a dangerous razor, you can accidentally cut the skin, but daring young men this does not stop.
For the first time tattoos with a razor blade began to be imposed on prisoners by order of the prison administration. Such an image indicated that the person is prone to suicide, so it needs special control. Since it is impossible to remember all detainees by sight, the mark was placed on conspicuous areas, such as the neck or forearm. Sometimes it was put on the head, as all prisoners are shaved naked.
Further, in prison, the tattoo took on a different meaning. It meant that the person had a sharp mind and a fiery temper. The tattoo was given to criminals who had committed dangerous atrocities. With such a symbol, they informed those around them that they should not mess with it, as the consequences for the offender could be unpredictable.
In various subcultures promoting suicide, followers tattooed a blade as a symbol of a completed suicide attempt. The number of tattoos signified the number of attempts. The image of a dangerous razor is common among rockers and bikers. Daring and badass representatives of these trends pocked a razor to express their character. There is nothing stopping such people in life, they are ready for the most desperate acts and walk on a knife edge. The razor-sharp tattoo can be found among representatives of the beauty industry. Such a stylish drawing is stuffed as a symbol of the profession and a talisman to attract success in the career.
The razor tattoo for ordinary people means sharp thinking and insight. It is a tattoo that speaks to another person and is able to get at the heart of things, so they cannot be fooled, confused, or taken advantage of. The tattoo can indicate an explosive and aggressive nature of its owner. Such people tend to resolve the situation by radical methods and do not like when someone stands in their way.
If the blade pierces the heart, it indicates that the owner of the tattoo has experienced great disappointment in love and is experiencing severe mental pain. Such a person cannot let go of his resentment and has closed his heart to representatives of the opposite sex. If the razor cuts a rose or other flower, it indicates a great loss, the loss of a loved one or a hard parting. Razor tattoos combined with a heart and a flower characterize a person's emotional state and feelings. The nature of the tattoo and its interpretation depends on the features of the image.
If the razor blade pierces the skin and blood drops are drawn around it, the picture indicates the resistance to blows of fate. The tattoo can mean that the person has experienced a lot of betrayal, is disappointed in people and is no longer afraid of pain. In another interpretation, the image communicates that there is no need to traumatize the person, as he or she is already in great pain.
If the folding razor is depicted in a half-open state, it indicates that the owner of the tattoo is always on guard, in control of everything around him and ready for an unexpected attack. The drawing is stamped as a warning to others that they should not commit reckless acts in relation to it.
Styles of execution
Tattoo blade most often performed in the style of realism. Such a drawing looks very natural due to the detailing, the game of shadows, a rich color palette and a variety of shades. Like scissors, a razor can be depicted plunged into the skin, with bloody streaks. A small tattoo is better to do on the hand, wrist or forearm.
Lovers of shocking others are recommended to have a closer look at the 3D technique. Correctly applied to a certain area of the body, the sketch will provide the most natural effect. The picture will look as if alive, but only if the master has taken into account your physiological features. In this technique, the same tattoo looks different on different people. Here everything depends on the professionalism of the tattooist, so it is worth choosing a proven specialist with extensive experience, good recommendations and the availability of a portfolio. A blade piercing the heart with scarlet drops of blood will look very spectacular.
To brighten up the bloodthirstiness and negative energy of the razor will help oldskool style. This technique, which appeared as early as the 19th century with American sailors, does not lose its relevance and in contemporary body art. Tattoos are not distinguished by convexity and volume, but attract attention with rich colors and clear framing. Wide contours are the hallmark of this style. To the razor can be added a gun, a spider web, thematic inscription. Then the composition will be unique and exclusive. For large-scale drawings will suit the back, shoulder, leg, thigh, chest.

From the history of the razor device
The issue of putting order on a man's face dates back to ancient times, when the wearing of a bushy beard on the face passed into the category of "indecent" in high society. This growth on the chin was exclusive to the "barbarians" with whom the civilized world (Egypt, Rome, Etruscan, Alba and others) did not want to associate.
The shaving procedure was a very dangerous undertaking. It was truly suicidal to clean oneself with a straight blade device. It is no coincidence that the profession of barber has existed virtually unchanged for hundreds and hundreds of years, and in Europe barbers often performed some medical procedures as well. Barbers are like white sharks, their skills are so subtle and perfect that they simply do not need to evolve.
In terms of shaving quality, the "opus" has a lot of advantages over looms
Interestingly, arc-shaped shaving blades appeared as early as the 1st millennium B.C., as evidenced by the findings of archaeologists. The wedge-shaped razor existed practically unchanged until the beginning of the 20th century. It was changed by Gillette's T-shape razor, which guaranteed safety, comfort and... degradation of shaving sacred process to something unbearably ordinary.
In the twentieth century, the "opaschka" became an object of the retro world. Such a device has practically ceased to be used in everyday life. It was mainly purchased by barbers, as the blade is very convenient for correcting beards, temples and the back of the head.
