It also makes it possible to carry out the transformation of the person, if the owner wishes to change under the desired psychological image.
If a master undertakes to perform a tattoo in the style of magic signs, he must be well versed in the rules of the symbol. For example, there are several variants of the Agiskhjalm, which has a second name "Helmet of Terror". It is drawn in the form of a snowflake and provides protection against surprise attacks.
With the addition of "pitchforks" on each ray it is an impenetrable defense against anything hostile. But if in its center to inscribe a symbolic image of a face, the picture becomes a protection against souring wine. Such a symbol was inscribed on the bottoms of barrels. Accordingly, the altered image is useless in a person's personal protection.
The same is true of the pentacle. A star with its two rays turned upwards was originally considered a symbol of the head of a sacrificial animal. It carried the meaning of "sacrifice" and "gift to the gods." Later it was used as the official symbol of the Church of Satan, which fundamentally changed the energy of the sign. The drawing no longer carries the meaning of protection, but rather conducts low energies of destruction.

Almost all of the symbols can be combined. However, in order for their meaning to be harmonized, it is necessary to know the rules of arrangement. The drawings are selected from one tradition and do not mix with images of other faiths.
This is why the master is required to have a deep knowledge of symbolism and graphic skills. A crooked line or missing point in the center of the circle changes the meaning of the symbol, and therefore changes the entire message as a whole.
The color combination also requires processing for the sign. More often than not, magical tattoos are depicted in black and white or dark brown outlines. This allows you to create a beautiful effect and achieve a resemblance to the drawings in the manuscripts.
Solar signs are not well suited to the blue spectrum, water symbols do not suit the red and yellow gamut. Air signs are rarely drawn in earth colors, respectively symbols of the earth element are not well suited colors of mind energy or ether. That is why the master must take into account in the work not only the wishes of the client, to be able to offer options that suit his expectations.

Tattoo-Rune: the influence on life
Tattoo runes are quite popular, but this category of images should be treated with particular care. Some runes have a powerful energy that can literally change lives. And not necessarily these changes will mean wealth fall from the sky or unearthly love.
IMPORTANT: it is believed that some runes can affect the subconscious mind so strongly that the effect can be completely unexpected. The energy of a person with such a tattoo is quite capable of changing, so before going to the salon it is necessary to get acquainted with the meaning of the selected figure.
Our ancestors had no doubt that by activating some energy processes, a person must give something back to the universe in return. In this case, the person can choose a drawing of a graffiti (a combination of two graffiti and two graffiti) in order to receive a payback.
However, it is not necessary to be afraid to apply the runes - it is only worth to understand the intricacies. So, each rune consists of three interrelated parts - directly to the runes, a sign - a form and sound. Separately, they will not give any effect. Also Do not make up the runes of the words - Each character itself has a meaning and special energy.

On what places on the body to be applied?
In order for a tattoo to acquire magical meaning, it is applied separately from other body drawings.
The most vulnerable places are considered to be:
- The wrist;
- neck;
- The lower back.
Some symbols may reinforce others. Some are incompatible.
Is there a difference in which place a tattoo is placed?
The same drawings on different places will carry different meanings. If it is a talisman for protection, it is better to do it in a place where no one will see. The perception of energy flows will become more harmonious. Talismans for good luck, on the contrary, should be in a prominent place. Averters for strength must be placed on the lower part of the body - closer to the ground.
TIP! The most powerful place for a tattoo is the palm. All the energy passes through it first.
