Tattoo — meaning and sketches for girls and men

A tattoo with the image of a mermaid will look equally good on a male and a female body. Like most symbols of the water world, mermaids are most often chosen by people whose work or hobbies are related to water: sailors, fishermen, swimmers, diving enthusiasts. It is believed that a mermaid tattoo will certainly bring good luck to this category of people. In general, the disposition of these mythical beauties is not too friendly.

Who are mermaids?

Today, these mythical creatures are admired. Films are made about them, cartoons are drawn, monuments are dedicated to them. But a few hundred years ago, women with a fish tail were afraid and shunned the places of their possible habitat. As a rule, undine was described as follows:

  • according to the ideas of the Slavs, the Undines lived in rivers. And the souls of dead virgins, drowned and unbaptized became mermaids. They had a bad character: they lured random travelers into the water, drowned people or tickled them to death, entangled nets and broke dams;
  • unlike the Slavic ones, the Indian fish maidens settled in lakes. The Indians believed that these half-fish belonged to the retinue of the goddess Indra. Descending to the earth, skilled dancers charmed ascetics, seducing them from the spiritual path of enlightenment;
  • the good-natured Greeks considered them beautiful offspring of the gods, promising love to sailors;
  • the harsh Scandinavians and Germans represented sirens as harmful beauties who lured navigators to reefs or whirlpools with wonderful singing;
  • Norwegian sailors and Vikings considered undines harbingers of trouble.

All these ancient fears have left their mark on the interpretation of the image of a mermaid. Including the meaning of the tattoo with the image of sirens.

The meaning of the mermaid tattoo

Different cultures painted the appearance of mermaids in their own way. Green-haired, blonde, young beauties and scary old women... Nevertheless, they are always associated with love, female attraction and temptations. In a sense, the image of sirens echoes the meaning of

  • Tutu with the image of a mermaid is most often stuffed by independent, mysterious people with great creative potential, love of life and enjoyment.

    Image Styles

    The sketch of the mermaid tattoo largely depends on cultural traditions. European half-maidens are more liberated, daring, sexy. Slavic, on the contrary, attract attention with their modest beauty, pastel tones, soft lines.

    Mermaids are always depicted as half-naked maidens. Different styles can be used, depending on the preferences of the media. But it is better to create realistic, full-color images that reveal the beauty of the female body in full.

    Where to get a mermaid tattoo?

    The choice of location, as well as the style, is individual. The main thing to remember is that virgo-pisces requires space. You should choose areas where the mermaid can fit completely - from the tail to the top of the head.

    Tattoos on the buttocks, chest, back, side from the hip to the axillary sinuses look great. The natural curves of the body give the mermaid even more naturalness and seductiveness.
