Which 5 tattoos have hidden meaning?
There are an infinite number of tattoo designs, but some tattoos are recurrent. So why do so many people get the same design? Perhaps it’s because they like the aesthetics of the design. But in most cases, it’s because the tattoo has a special meaning. Discover 5 tattoos with hidden meaning in this article.
1 – The koi carp tattoo
Are you a fan of fishing or fish? Or do you love Japan and think getting a tattoo of a koi carp is a nice tribute to Japanese culture?
Well, even if you find these animals very pretty and cute, we don’t advise you to get a tattoo of a koi carp, especially if you ever want to visit Japan, and here’s why.
Don’t be surprised if you travel to Japan and get arrested by the police because of your beautiful tattoo. In Japan, tattoos depicting a koi carp are highly frowned upon, as they are the symbol of the yakuza, the Japanese mafia.
If you’re an animal lover, we suggest thegrrr! temporary tattoo board in collaboration with Marion Billet, and you can be sure you’ll have no trouble.
2- Five-pointed crown tattoo
You feel like a prince or princess so you got a 5-point crown tattoo. As well as looking a bit narcissistic, you could also get into serious trouble if you travel to the United States.
Indeed, like the koi carp, the five-pointed crown tattoo is a symbol chosen by a gang. They are the Latin Kings, America’s most wanted criminals.
If you want to feel like a prince or princess, we recommend our gold angle temporary tattoo board.
3 – The card game tattoo
Even if you’ve been a fan of card games since you were a child, we don’t recommend representing this passion on theneedle.
Like the previous two tattoos, playing card tattoos are often worn by criminals.
Each card represented could tell a story. The number of playing cards represented in a tattoo would be proportional to the number of crimes committed. Also, some cards represent the number of prisons you’ve been to. The tattoo could also signify that you’re lying about your life, or that you’re hiding something that’s not trivial.
4 – The 3-leaf clover tattoo
The green 4-leaf clover is often considered a symbol of good luck and good fortune.
But then, what is the significance of the 3-leaf clover tattoo?
As you can probably guess from the meanings of the previous tattoos… This one is also used in Irish gangs.
If you’re a fan of Ireland or St. Patrick’s Day, go for a tattoo of a mug of beer or a bottle of whisky.
Our temporary tattoo sheets with fleur de peau, little wild flowers or monocotyledon will be perfect if you’re into botany. What’s more, there’s no risk of you getting arrested.
5 – The Buddha tattoo
Even if you’re a zen person who practices yoga and meditation, it’s not advisable to get a tattoo of a Buddha.
Indeed, if you’re planning to travel to India with this tattoo one day, don’t be surprised if you attract all the wrong looks.
Why should you care? Well, because any tattoo representing Buddha is considered a real religious offense.
