Tattoo — meaning and sketches for girls and men

The meaning and features of the dog tattoo.

Dogs are human friends and helpers. In the minds of many, they are associated with such qualities as: loyalty, courage, attentiveness and fearlessness. Therefore, it is not surprising that tattoos with the image of four-legged friends are popular. In this article, we will try to fully understand their meaning, history and types, so that it will be easier for you to make your choice.

Historical images.

Despite many positive traits of dogs, their images often had an ambiguous character. Historically, they could cause both respect and fear in the minds of people.

  • In the mythologies of Ancient Greece and Egypt, dogs were considered guardians or guides, between our and the "lower" worlds. A similar opinion was shared by the Scandinavians. A striking example of this is Cerberus, a three-headed dog guarding the entrance to hell, or Anubis, a guide to the world of the dead.
  • Among the peoples living on the territory of modern Europe, this image was more often associated with devotion and the keeper of the hearth.
  • Native Americans treated dogs with respect, considering them healers, protectors or even divine messengers.
  • Our ancestors, the Slavs, had an ambiguous and largely mythical judgment about such drawings. For example, that images of a dog predict events, most often negative.
  • Among Christians, the image of dogs meant loyalty and friendliness.
  • In the Islamic religion, dogs were treated coldly and biased, considering that this is an" unclean " animal, necessary exclusively for protection.

In modern history, dog tattoo sketches have lost most of the mythical images. It is considered that the dog is a symbol of conservatism, attentiveness and confidence. But how true this statement is is up to you to judge.

The meaning of the dog tattoo.

Tattoos with dogs are usually small in size. Most often they are placed on the hand, leg, the shoulder blade or the reverse part neck. Such drawings are not tied to a specific technique or direction, so it is sometimes difficult to interpret their original meaning, laid down by the author and the carrier.

The main values of such tattoos are directly related to the positive qualities of the dogs themselves. Namely: loyalty, courage, purposefulness. Therefore, mostly such drawings can be found in men.

It is believed that a person with a dog tattoo on his arm is not characterized by such negative traits as hypocrisy, cunning and meanness. Its bearer is always ready to help out in a difficult moment. Moreover, such a drawing indicates an open and friendly attitude to people.

The meaning of a tattoo can radically change from the breed of a beaten dog. So, fighting or hunting dogs are a sign of strength, purposefulness, and in some cases aggression. Small breeds, on the contrary, indicate openness, kindness and defenselessness.

The dog's paw tattoo symbolizes the indelible mark that someone left in your life. Therefore, such sketches can often be found in girls.

Summing up the results.

A dog tattoo will be an excellent choice for open, friendly, dynamic, brave and responsible people. It will help you stand out and show your bright nature. The main thing is to carefully select a sketch and do not be too lazy to learn about dog breeds.
