Tattoo — meaning and sketches for girls and men

Yin Yang (yin yang) is an ancient Chinese symbol that has become world famous. For decades, this image has occupied a leading position in the top 10 popular tattoos.

While maintaining a recognizable shape and meaning, yin yang tattoo allows you to create unique sketches. It is loyal to color variations and combines with other symbols, organically fits into larger-scale paintings.

At the origins of balance.

Classic (pristine) Yin yang is the epitome of simplicity. Two curved drops united by a looped line. The black drop in the wide part is interspersed in the form of a small circle of the opposite color. The white drop is similarly decorated.

  • The original meaning of yin yang was also simple. The ancient Chinese used this symbol to denote concepts related to physical matter: hard - soft, dark – light.
  • The widespread and familiar interpretation of the symbol appeared hundreds of years later, when philosophers and followers of neo-Confucianism began to think about ancient truths. This is how the theory of the eternal struggle of opposites appeared, and the symbol itself became associated with the spiritual world.

The modern meaning of the yin yang tattoo.

Today, the yin yang tattoo is perceived as a sign of the confrontation of two opposite principles. The dispute between the dark and light components will not be completed, as evidenced by the vicious circle that has united two different matters into one whole.

In a narrower sense, the sign is identified with the masculine and feminine principles:

  • Yin: the female component. Dark, mysterious and frightening. By analogy with the ancient beliefs of European peoples, this part of the symbol is attributed to the responsibility for fertility. At the same time, yin means the end of the life cycle, death. The dark part of the sign is associated with the moon, darkness, and represents the element of the earth.
  • In this tattoo, the symbol of yang (yang) represents the masculine principle that gives life. Yang is the sunny side of the sign. Corresponds to "solid" in the classical interpretation, is compared with odd numbers.

In general, the tattoo is considered a symbol of continuous movement and universal balance. The sign means mutual penetration and indicates the impossibility of the existence of one part without the other.

The Japanese claim that yin yang symbolizes fire and water. And some philosophers attribute to the sign the meaning of the beginning of all beginnings, believing that this dual symbol became the progenitor of the five elements.

The meaning of the yin yang tattoo for a person carries the same deep meaning. As a talisman, a tattoo helps to understand yourself, to come to harmony with the surrounding world. A universal symbol that affects both men and women equally.

Styles and possible variations of the image

Today, tattoos are considered a modern art. The number of stylistic directions implemented by the masters is amazing. However, some characters are more demanding to use certain techniques. In particular, such directions as:

are suitable
  • realism;
  • graphics;
  • tribal or bioorganica;
  • dowork;
  • trash polka and some others.

Another popular trend is minimalism. A minimum of minor details and colors. This allows you to bring the sketch as close as possible to the most ancient version of the drawing. And in order for the tattoo not to become part of the mainstream, it can be diversified with various image options. In particular, replace the classic drops with more interesting elements:

  • tattoo with fish. Carp are most often used;
  • black and white birds;
  • Karpy
