Tattoo — meaning and sketches for girls and men

The elephant is not just a majestic animal, but also a full-fledged sacred symbol in Asian culture, which is treated with great respect.

Value.

The meaning of the elephant tattoo varies depending on the country and nationality.

• For the inhabitants of Africa, India and South America, this animal represents ferocity and unbridledness. With the help of an elephant tattoo, they try to intimidate others, show their strength, gain authority.
• In European countries, including Russia, the elephant tattoo has exactly the opposite meaning. It speaks about the peacefulness, conflict-free and sedateness of its owner. An elephant tattoo can also mean detachment from worldly problems.

Contrary to popular belief, the elephant tattoo does not mean weakness or self-doubt at all. On the contrary, it is made by strong-minded men and women who do not doubt their abilities. At the same time, there is calmness and restraint in their character.

The elephant tattoo also means victory over your addictions. This interpretation came to us from India, where the elephant is considered an incarnation of the god Ganesha. In the pictures, Ganesha with an elephant's head holds his trunk, showing that he managed to conquer his own passions. Elephant tattoo is suitable for people who know how to control their emotions and desires.

An elephant is a very loyal animal. It is strongly attached to the owner, loves him and considers him a great friend. For this reason, a tattoo with a majestic animal is often stuffed as a sign of pure and sincere love and devotion to their second half.

A tattoo with the image of a strong and powerful animal is popular not only among men, but also among women. Representatives of the fair sex fill it as a symbol of women's health, fertility and care for their offspring.

In general, the elephant tattoo is considered a kind and positive symbol. However, it must be understood that it has a serious meaning: in Asian countries, the elephant is associated with deities and is revered as a sacred animal.

Sketches.

Sketches of elephant tattoos in the style of realism are particularly popular. Many people fill a large tattoo with the image of an elephant with its typical color. An alternative to this option is a tattoo of a rare white elephant, which is especially appreciated in Asian countries. Such a tattoo means spirituality and knowledge. Black-and-white sketches are also popular.

You can fill a more positive image of a multi-colored animal decorated with flowers and jewelry. This is how the sacred elephant is depicted in Asian countries. Multicolored tattoo is relevant for adherents of Buddhism and just connoisseurs of rich Asian culture.

Choosing a place on the body.

An elephant tattoo on the arm usually turns out to be large. Men also like to fill such a tattoo on the shoulder or the inside of the forearm. For a large tattoo, you can also choose the back, hip, shoulder, calf and any other large area of the body.

As a rule, the female half prefers small neat tattoos with the image of colored elephants and elephants. Most often, girls choose the hip area, neck, back, forearm, ankle or wrist for them.
