Tattoos on the sternum for men
The chest is the optimal place for a tattoo. Since the chest is wider than the same arms or legs, the large volume of the surface allows you to make a three-dimensional drawing. In addition, the chest is not the most painful place for tattooing, if you exclude the clavicle area, where the bones are located close to the skin, and the nipples.
Types of male tattoos on the chest
We will highlight the stories that are most popular:
- labels; abstraction; animals or birds; demons or angels; tribal; dragons; weapons.
The tattoo on the chest of each of the presented categories carries a certain sacred meaning.
Inscriptions
An easy way to get a tattoo with a semantic load is to choose an inscription. Everyone forms the meaning of such tattoos independently, choosing the desired phrase that you want to capture on your chest. More often they choose some motivating phrases in English (less often Chinese or Russian). For example, "Believe in yourself" or "Believe in yourself".
Abstraction
The tattoo sketch in this format is not tied to certain style directions and combines elements of different styles. Also, abstract tattoos do not have a standard color palette - there are both black and white and colored.
Animals and birds
Almost all the symbols of representatives of the fauna have their own meaning. For example:
-
owl-craving for the unknown and the exit of consciousness from the usual framework;
elephant - strength and calmness. In some religious cultures, such tattoos are revered by people;
tiger (or lion) - bravery, nobility and demonstration of greatness;
deer - spirituality and the desire to create. Its horns illustrate the world tree.
The list shows only a small part of the variations of tattoos with animals or birds.
Angels and Demons
If they are depicted together, then such a tattoo means the eternal internal struggle of the good and evil side of the personality, the willingness to change and develop. If separately, then the drawings of demons indicate the presence of a certain vice in the owner and the impossibility of getting rid of it. Which one exactly depends on the chosen character, because each inhabitant of hell has different character traits. The image of an angel reflects the desire for order, faith, spirituality and love.
Tribal
Initially, tribal tattoos, whose distinctive feature is clear, dark and even contours, were applied to the body to protect the owner from failures, evil forces and show his military merits. But now they are filled with those who want to demonstrate courage and endurance. Trouble tattoos can not be limited to the chest and go to the shoulders, neck or stomach.
Dragons
In ancient cultures, dragon tattoos were interpreted in different ways and had great significance. In the same Rome, such a drawing was a sign of terror, among the Celts it personified cruelty and wisdom. In the modern world, such tattoos are interpreted as a symbol of greatness, courage, power, power and longevity.
Weapons
These tattoos demonstrate the willingness of the owner to enter into a conflict and use physical force. Also, gun drawings (revolvers, machine guns, pistols, etc.) embody independence, the desire to achieve justice and self-confidence.
