Tattoos With Meaning scorpion tattoos

Tattoos say a lot about the style and traits of a person. Different people like to get different tattoo designs that hold some symbolic significance to them. Most of the people go for the tattoos that either tell about the inner thoughts of a person or reflect their personality. However, some people also like to get various tattoo designs as a symbol of remembrance or inspiration.

Everyone likes to get tattoos with meaning. There are several meaningful tattoo designs available that can be inked by people. You can choose from various traditional designs that used to hold special meaning for various ancient people, religious tattoos that represent one’s faith and belief in a particular religion and any other tattoos that are liked by people for their certain significance. These meaningful designs hold different symbolic meanings to different people. The representation of a tattoo design is one of the main factors that most people like to research before inking it on the body.

So, if you are also looking for a meaningful tattoo design that you would like to ink on your skin, then you have come to the right place. In this article we have discussed some beautiful tattoos with different meanings that are represented through their designs.   

The symbol meaning of Scorpion,

The symbol meaning of Scorpion, much like its appearance, can be little foreboding. That is, if we do not have the inner eyes to see the beauty and complexity of its symbolism.

Below are a few facts on the symbol meaning for Scorpion along with some cultural history and background.

A summary of symbol meaning/associations for the Scorpion are as follows:

Transition, Death/Dying, Sex, Control, Solitary/Being, Alone, Treachery, Passion, Protection, Defensiveness

A potent message the Scorpion chooses to express is that of protection and/or isolation. In fact, they themselves are quite solitary - part of the reason why they symbolize In fact, many people with the Scorpion as their totem tend to have brief spells of passion with a partner only to end the relationship and spend long periods content to be alone.

The Scorpion will mate in an exotic, dance of passion and control. The Scorpion sexdance is one of beauty, control, and calculation.

The female allows her new offspring to ride on her back until they shed their first exoskeleton - then her offspring leaves her - all of them going off to their lone, solitary lives - another example of intensity in relationship followed by isolation.

Defensiveness/control/protection is evident in the Scorpion's appearance - which seems to say "Do not trifle with me." One look at this magnificent creature says "back off!" does it not?

As another symbol of protection - we can consider the venomous tip of the scorpion which numbs its prey as well as makes its prey chemically digestible for the Scorpion. Whether the Scorpion intends to eat the victim of its sting is irrelevant because its sting will most certainly protect the Scorpion in order for it to live another day.

In Samaria, the Scorpion is associated with the Sun, and ancient writings depict Scorpion-men guarding (protecting) sacred gateways leading to ascension, pleasure and enlightenment.

Death symbolism comes into play in Greco-Roman mythology where Artemis (Diana) used the Scorpion to sting Orion's foot, which caused his death. Afterwards, Zeus (Jupiter) made the Scorpion a zodiac sign among the stars.

There are some species where the venom is actually the antidote for its sting (like cobras). In Egypt and Tibet this is seen as an omen, and the Scorpion is made into an amulet - signifying protection and warding off evil. In Africa, the Scorpion is also seen as a healing sign - its venomous oil used for medicinal purposes.

 How to come  with your own Meaningful Tattoo concepts 

  ~Art Is Life Ink~

Get In Your Own Head

Imagine you had some horrible disease and you were given one week to live (morbid I know but work with me here). Where would you go? Who would you go with? Another mind game is if your house was on fire. What would you take out with you? Playing this game is an excellent way to strip down all the crap in our lives. All of the stuff that is just noise in our lives can get in the way of getting a meaningful tattoo. Looking at everything in your life decide for yourself what has lasting significant meaning, and find a way to incorporate that into a great tattoo. This is not as easy as it seems especially when you take the lasting part of that sentence into consideration.

Slow Your Roll

We have all heard the saying that good things come to those who wait. This is especially true for something that you carry with you for the rest of your life. It is practically impossible to get a wild hair one day and decide to get a tattoo and go that night and get one that has significant meaning. Most of the time the only exception to this is extraordinary life events i.e. you lose a child, your mother passes, etc. Slow down. Think about where you want the tattoo, what size you want it to be, and then check out some simple designs to get the ideas flowing.

Do A Test Drive

If you really are not sold on how you will feel about a specific design, or location, try test driving it. Print it out, use markers and recreate it where you think you want your tattoo. If you are like me, a 3 year old could draw better, so ask someone who has a passing amount of artistic talent to do it for you. If you are sure about the design but not the location, try temporary tattoos. This can be helpful as well if you want to make sure that you will be able to cover the tattoo for work and other special events.

How to Get Meaningful Tattoos – Don’ts

Lay Off the Bottle

Everyone loves to get a little crazy once in a while. I have been known to jump in swimming pools at 2 a.m. and not know whose idea it was. After a shot or three it is easy to mistake horrible ideas for the best thought you ever had. Remember Bald Brittany? Not her finest hour. We all do impulsive stuff sometimes, it is part of what makes life worth the ride right? But do you really want to explain to your mother why you have a naked man on your neck? If not, it is probably a good idea to stay out of the tattoo parlor when you're drinking.

Celebrity Head Shots Suck

I still remember a tattoo I saw about eight years ago. It was a head shot of Rosanne Barr. Do you remember her? Her sitcom went off the air in 1997! And as far as I can tell from TMZ and all the other gossip sites, she has done little else since. So please tell me why someone would want her face on their body? Did she impart some gem of unparalleled wisdom in her half hour sitcom that I missed as I looked over my New Kids on the Block sticker book? This is a classic case of someone forgetting the simple fact that tattoos are forever.

So Do Cartoon Characters

Just like sitcom actresses, cartoon characters will probably only be meaningful’ in your life for a short time. Imagine this. You are 30 years old, driving a minivan full of screaming kids, reaching out the window to pay for McDonalds to shut them up. Suddenly the cashier looks at your wrist and says, “That is the most awesome Minnie Mouse I have ever seen!” Yeah, no. It was much cooler at 18 when ole Minnie was the code word for the guy you and your best friends drooled over.

*Note: Ignore this if you plan on people calling you Daffy Duck until you kick the bucket.

Promote Nothing

Okay so you wear Nike’s every day of your life. You have tried other shoes and they just don't cuddle your little toes the way you like. So you stick with Nikes and you think Hey I should get a Nike swoop tattoo’! Um, maybe not. Are you getting paid to advertise? If someone isn't paying you – and even if they are – promotional tattoos for someone else’s dream is probably not meaningful to you. Feel free to ignore this if you invented Nike’s or their infamous swoop.

Declare No One

Unless you conceived them or they conceived you stay away from names. Parents or children are the only people in life that cannot change their relationship with you. Siblings fall into that category as well, but Angelina Jolie aside I am not sure anyone would want to go there. With a divorce rate that is out of this world why gamble when you don’t have to. Remember this is something that will stay with you until you are worm food. Spouses, partners, boyfriends, and girlfriends don’t always stick around. Ask Liz Taylor if you don’t believe me.

Which meaningful tattoo will you get?

There is no 1,2,3 formula for figuring out how to get meaningful tattoos. What has meaning for one person is meaningless to someone else. The crazy part is you could do the exact opposite of everything I have said here and come out with a piece that you love and wouldn't change for anything. Find what has meaning for you and then go for it!
