Now tattoos are no longer considered some kind of underground trend, and a tattoo can be seen on a person of any age, gender, profession and worldview. The tattoo decorates, emphasizes the character of a person, his beliefs and affections. But is this really all that a tattoo can, because this drawing remains with a person forever? In this post I will try to figure out whether a tattoo can change people, influence their character and change their lives.

You can't go to a girl empty-handed, so hammer both of your hands with tattoos.

It is difficult to call a tattoo just an ornament, and not everyone can decide on this, because one phrase always looms in the head: "this is for life." And the point here is not the worn out and, in my opinion, senseless argument "How will you look when you become a grandmother?", But that this drawing will be with you throughout your life, you will see it every day and in the end, he will begin to be perceived as an integral part of you, like moles or blue eyes(green, brown, any).

So, before you get yourself a tattoo, you need to seriously think about what exactly will appear on your skin and how it will affect your life. I'm not talking about mystical cases, but about completely scientific explanation- about psychological factors and the impact on the subconscious of a person. But let's talk about everything in order.

The agony of choice or how we decide to make it

Which drawing will you choose when you decide to get a tattoo? The simplest answer: of course the one you like. There is an opinion that a person likes in others what he himself has. Each person loves himself very much (despite inferiority complexes and imaginary imperfection), and therefore his qualities, seen in someone else, attract him.

That is, the chosen tattoo is a reflection of your character, those qualities that you value in yourself or those that you would like to see. It is like a small reflection of you, a symbolic expression of your essence. Here are some testimonials from tattoo artists and people who have tattooed themselves.

There are two main opinions, either a tattoo affects a person, or a person chooses a certain tattoo for himself because of some personal characteristics that affect the pattern and size. Seen from this point of view, people with certain characteristics make themselves certain tattoos. I believe that it is necessary to consider not only how a tattoo affects a person, but also why he originally made such a drawing for himself.

I am of the opinion that a person makes a tattoo for himself as a reflection of his personality and individuality. And this is often supported by experience. Even some popular inscription has a meaning, but not what is written there, but why a person made such a tattoo for himself. Sometimes, looking at tattoos, you can determine what their wearer is.Alexander Sinitsyn, tattoo artist, Novosibirsk

I think that we cannot do anything that would not be peculiar to us, to some extent predetermined. This is such a fatalism. A tattoo, yes, a decoration, is, but, like any decoration, it is the personification of me.Galea Aponeurotica

It's difficult to answer in general since I only have two small tattoos. There is certainly a core in a text tattoo that is tied to a specific moment in life. I think that short phrases on the body are either a reminder to yourself that you don't want to forget (for introverts), or a message to others (for extroverts). Anastasia Goloborodko

On the other hand, as some well-known writers and philosophers believed, for example, Hermann Hesse and Erich Fromm, a person initially contains all the qualities of a person and all characters at once, and he can manifest them at any time.

If you tattoo yourself, expressing some of the same personality traits, you emphasize them, and, focusing on them, as if affirming just such a character, reducing the possibility of showing another. After all, what we think of ourselves is what we are.

A little about the subconscious

Besides the emphasis on certain personality traits, a tattoo is something that you see every day. Any images that fall into the area of your attention (or are not even noted in consciousness) settle in the subconscious and from there influence behavioral reactions.

Now imagine: a pattern with a special meaning slowly appears on your skin, appears with painful sensations that last several days. It is likely that before getting a tattoo, you looked at this drawing for a long time, thinking whether it is worth doing it and where exactly.

This alone is enough to leave a serious imprint of the image and what is associated with it in the subconscious. And if you consider that after all this, you continue to see the tattoo every day, even not paying attention to it ... well, you get the idea.

The BBC has a great film about the influence of the subconscious on our lives (BBC. Horizon. Can the subconscious be controlled?). It shows how little we actually control, and how much information remains outside our attention, but, nevertheless, this information is used and affects us.

Maybe a matter of faith

Speaking about the influence on the psyche, of course, the factor of faith cannot be excluded. If you believe that a tattoo will change something in your life, most likely it will happen. It is generally common for a person to believe in mystical forces that can help, protect and even radically change life.

Probably, there are people who believe that if you get a tattoo, then something will change for the better in his life, but such people, for witchcraft to work, need a ritual, candles, skulls, and that a shaman with a tambourine tattoo would certainly do them. Personally, it seems to me that this is all psychosomatic, it will work if you strongly believe in it. I heard that something similar was put on stream by Buddhist monks in Thailand.

In Thailand, there really is such a tradition. In March, Bang Phra Monastery hosts a festival magic tattoos, sacred drawings that only men can receive. Thais believe that Sak Yant tattoos with prayer and blessing provide protection from all misfortunes.

Perhaps it really helps them if they believe.

We understand perfectly well that it is not a tattoo that changes a person, but only himself. And the belief that a tattoo will help in this, like some kind of amulet or talisman, just helps. As you remember, in the famous film by Ryazanov "Beware of the Car" there was a phrase that all people believe: some believe that God exists, others that he does not exist. So it is here.Andrey Lord, tattoo artist, UFO art workshop, St. Petersburg

So if you believe in mystical powers, a tattoo is a great choice. Unlike a talisman, you will not lose it, and if something helps you, why not?

In connection with all of the above, I would like to give some tips about tattoos:

1. See who we are

When you have chosen a drawing that should appear on your skin, consider it in more detail: all the details that are in the drawing, especially if it is complex, the general feeling of it. Since you have chosen it, it reflects some traits of your character, personality traits. Think you want these traits to stay with you for life? And one more thing: the process itself can be fascinating, because it is a kind of "cast of your nature."

2. Better not to have names

Each person goes their own way during life, and it is almost impossible to share it with someone. People often break up, and attachment is replaced by indifference or hatred. Tattoos with the name of the ex-beloved (oh), of course, can be filled with new ones, but even if photos can cause a bunch negative emotions, what can we say about the pattern on the skin. And so as not to want to do like the British Thorse Reynolds, who cut out a piece of leather with the name former friend, it is probably better to choose something else.

3. Careful with symbols

If you are not a logical impenetrable nihilist, whose sound mind so rejects mysticism that she runs away from him in horror, it is better to be careful to use ancient symbols, gods and spirits, which, at one time (or still), are not deprived of the attention of believers.

I had somehow mystical story... One friend decided to get a Japanese water mouth guard tattoo. This is such a harmful spirit that lures people into the lake and suffocates them there. On the morning of the day when I was supposed to tattoo him, his sea aquarium with a volume of a thousand liters burst. In general, he decided not to do this tattoo.Roman Lemekh, tattoo artist from Black Bird salon, Moscow

4. Positive

Probably, few people will agree to get a tattoo, which will initially symbolize something negative, but there are some. As you know, anger and fear lead to the dark side of power, and a constant reminder of negativity is unlikely to make you happy, even if it looks mega-cool.

If we talk about what goals the representatives of the ancient tribes pursued when they applied these or those drawings to their bodies, then a lot depended on the place, pattern and color of its application.

A tattoo could more often demonstrate a certain status of its owner, regardless of whose body it was applied on - on the body of a nobleman, a warrior or a commoner. Of course, they all differed in both the plot and the quality of the display of the idea that the owner or the author put into the drawing.

It was believed (and is still considered) that with the help of a tattoo, a person tries to reflect his inner aspirations in the form and in the form that seems acceptable to him or the most accessible. That is, in fact, the psychological aspect of influencing society is entrusted to the tattoo. But despite the abundance of psychological factors of influence, the tattoo, as a result psychological aspect, and due to the sign influence of the symbol (or symbols) remains an object of ambiguous nature.

Any action generates opposition. Heard about it, read about it, and the action called tattooing is no exception.
Let's first of all answer the question: Why is it needed, a tattoo? If we leave the word "needed" in our reasoning, then of course, it is not something necessary, important, but, nevertheless, existing as a cultural fact, it carries a lot of information that can be learned about the tattoo bearer by the one who knows its meaning, and whoever is going to apply it. Indeed, in fact, the one who wants to do it has a specific goal. In most cases, this goal is described by psychological and behavioral motivations. It seems to give freedom, self-expression, etc. But in fact, everything is somewhat deeper. And the first motivation, the first sip that a tattoo gives, smoothly moves to deeper layers of influence, directly participating in a person's life.

Let's start with large layers and large layers of understanding that will allow you to navigate the hidden processes of tattoos and their impact on human life.

Place (body part) of tattooing and its impact

So. There are two types of tattoos: visible, applied to exposed parts of the body, such as the hands, face and neck, and hidden, applied to the rest of the body.
But in summer you can see many more parts of the body, you say, and what is hidden in winter is visible in summer. Almost true, but in reality, in our conclusions, we rely not so much on seasonality as on certain social rules and norms, according to which a very a large number of influences of tattoo.
Visible tattoos serve two purposes. They are achieved together, regardless of whether their master is pursuing them or not. The first goal is social adjustment. A person, through a certain symbol or drawing, changes the attitude of society towards himself. The second is to change your behavior, your self-expression in relation to this society. Society means everything, indiscriminately.
Hidden - the purpose of such tattoos, influencing a narrow circle of people. With those who are near and with those who may be near. A person, first of all, thus corrects his behavior and the expression of his actions in relation to relatives, friends and acquaintances.
Moreover, this does not mean at all that a person, applying a tattoo on hidden parts of the body, in fact implies a direct influence of the drawing on the circle of the elite, but his mood and his attitude will certainly be changed by him.

A little later, we will take a closer look at how and not what this affects.

But do not be mistaken that if you see - influence, if not - there is no influence. This is not true. The influence of a tattoo always occurs and part of the processes, part of the situations that occur in a person's life, undergo a rather serious change that is worth knowing about.
Now let's list how, depending on the place of application, the effect of the tattoo occurs. And we will divide this influence on external influence, that is, how the processes with surrounding people or behavior in situations will be built, and internal, that is, how a person will begin to change.
But in the meantime, we will not consider such types of tattoos that are ritual, for example, Japanese tattoos.
While preserving the described principle, much more meanings are hidden in them than in the case we are investigating.

Head
External influence - The desire to gain significance and weight in society.
Internal influence - Development of latent abilities and capabilities. The danger is that the discovery of these abilities is in no way controlled by the person. This is a spontaneous release.

Neck
External influence - Demonstration that a person is endowed with something that is not available to others. Considers himself the bearer of what is hidden and important to him.
Internally Influenced - Internally tension, inability and inability to cope with what is happening in his life.

Left hand (right-handed)
External influence - A clear description of his aspirations and interests from the people and processes around him. As if the motto "I want or I like this."
Internally Influenced - One-sidedness and few options when making decisions or doing things. Stereotype and hackneyedness in the schemes.

Right hand (right-handed)
Outside Influence - An active desire for self-expression. The desire to receive more and often something concrete from the world.
Internally Influenced - Firmness and determination, coupled with excessive persistence and lack of flexibility.

Breast
External influence - Challenge to others, unwillingness to follow social norms, and desire to establish their own rules.
Inner influence - Conflict in the perception of the world between your vision and social norms. As a result - isolation and unsociability.

Stomach
External influence - Specification of interests and material aspirations in life. That, on which the person directs his desire in communication.
Inner influence - Limited contacts. Impossibility and inability to communicate in the broader sense of the word. Some of the acquaintances will be eliminated.

Back
External Influence - Demonstration of dominance and internal protection from the environment.
Internally Influence - Constant striving to express your capabilities, to demonstrate your potential to the people around you.

Small of the back
External influence - Non-ordinaryness in communication and approaches associated with contacts with the opposite sex.
Inner influence - Doubt and lack of fulfillment in an existing partner. The desire to do and receive more from life.

Buttocks
External influence - Striving to get maximum recognition and interest from others in all aspects.
Internal influence - Difficulty with self-esteem, inability to determine their real capabilities and their place in life.

Genitals
External influence - Dissatisfaction (dissatisfaction) with partners, their behavior and attitude.
Inner influence - Desire to find sexual harmony, correspondence between reality and dreams.

Left leg
External influence - Isolation of the basic basic capabilities of a person, to which he, by his nature, would like to pay attention.
Internal influence - Digging and searching for hidden reserves. Dissatisfaction with existing and happening in full.

Right leg
External Influence - The direction of movement and aspirations of a person.
Internal Influence - Restriction or support in a specified direction

Left foot
External influence - Search for a partner, support in life
Internal influence - Lack of support from family and friends

Right foot
External influence - Selfishness and the desire to live according to your own whims of desire
Internal influence - Dissatisfaction with communication, relationships with loved ones.

As you can see, Negative influence closely intertwined with the positive. Of course, this does not mean at all that by applying a tattoo on the examined part of the body, you will receive this effect. But you can get it. Moreover, throughout life, this influence will be accentuated in these issues.
This is neither good nor bad. It happens that a person needs help and support in something and then, with the help of a tattoo, he wants to draw it from his inner world.
In addition to where the tattoo is applied, what is applied is also important. Yes, it happens that whole pictures are applied, which are not easy to translate according to their semantic load. But if you do not focus on general form, but on symbolism, it turns out, there is not so much to understand.
For example, the classic, Morning in a pine forest. The whole picture, the meaning of which may somewhat elude understanding. Meanwhile, there are painted bears, whole and broken trees and ... that's all. The rest is the background, the influence of which has practically no effect on the picture itself.

Examples of basic symbols and their magical meaning
I will give examples of the main symbols and their magical meaning so that you can understand what exactly such a tattoo will bring to your life.

Cross in a circle
Here is a kind of pattern that symbolizes the sun or the so-called circle of life. A person who chooses such a symbol, namely the circle and its variations, strives for activity in all its forms.
The downside of such a tattoo may be that passivity in many cases, important and necessary, will be difficult to achieve.

Ornament framing the arm or leg
An ornament framing an arm or a leg forces the energy to concentrate in the specified area. Encourages a person to take action, exactly in that place, and in the aspect in question
It is also necessary to say that such a tattoo will encourage a person to do what he undertook, in the maximum effort. And to the end.

Flowers and their weaving
Flowers and their weaving induce a person to more gently, femininely realize his inner world.
Of the minuses of such a symbol, in particular for women, we can say that at present a woman should be different. But it will not be easy for the bearer of such a symbol to show any other character traits, except for the underlined ones.

Flower
For a man, this symbol to a greater extent gives a certain psychological charm, prompting him to act and act in a non-standard and unusual way.
From the negative, if I may say so, this is the conflict between the flexibility of influence and the straightforwardness of the male character.

Religious symbol.
This is not only a cross, but other symbols as well. First of all, the conversation is about attracting protection and patronage, support into your life.
From negative manifestations, the fact that a person with such a symbol becomes more adventurous, more daring in their actions.

Hands crossed in prayer
In this case, a religious symbol is also demonstrated, the meaning of which is practically the same as that of the previously studied one. The only difference is that internally a person with such a symbol hopes more than believes, which softens the previous formulations.

In this case, you also see the ornament that frames the eye. Eye - looks and sees, as well as the environment of the person, which left an imprint when choosing this symbol. The constant feeling of publicity makes a person always be on the lookout.

Stars
The symbol of the eight-pointed star, which formed the basis of this tattoo, speaks of the desire for a harmonious existence. In general, each of the following symbols carries its own load and affects the distribution of forces in a tattoo.
The triangle is an active desire to achieve the set goal.
The square is the pursuit of stability and confidence.
Rhombus - emotionality and sensuality.
Pentagram - the desire for active self-expression, leadership qualities.
Gescagram is a balance between the inner world and the environment of a person.
The seven-pointed star is the desire for creation and real creative realizations.
The eight-pointed star is, as we have already said, the striving for harmonious material existence.

Face or faces
talk about the need in their life to focus on themselves, their needs and their capabilities. Engage in self-realization and individual development.

As you can see, in this case we have in front of us the symbol of the sun, consisting of a six-pointed star, a face and a circle. We have already talked about these basic symbols, so you can easily tell about its direction.

Butterfly,
like everything related to the animal world and insects, in its interpretation it suggests relying on the essence, the main characteristics of what happens in the symbol and correlating it with a person.
A butterfly is a symbol of rebirth, when their caterpillars, it turns into a beautiful insect that already has other capabilities.
Panther
activity, grace, impetuosity, power, and cruelty, instinct.

Turtle
wisdom, security, and - sluggishness and slowness.
Snake
activity, flexibility, sophistication, and - causes rejection and makes you stay away from it.

Of course, these are not all types of tattoos that exist in nature or will exist. But our task is not to consider all tattoos, but to understand the principle or causality of their existence.

So far, one thing is clear. A tattoo is a form of expression of one's own idea, thought, aspiration, made in such a form and in such a form that, as it seemed to a person, is the most accessible.
That is, in fact, we can say that what a person wants to express can be expressed in a different form and in a different form. But, as you yourself understand, the right to act always remains with the one who commits it.

Absolutely any tattoo affects the life of the person on whose body it is performed. A tattoo is far from a simple decoration, but a symbol that has, to one degree or another, a pronounced magical meaning. Therefore, think 10 times, do you need it, tk. it will be very difficult to get rid of its influence, and in some cases it is completely impossible.

Even an ordinary tattoo, made with meaning, can make certain changes in a person's life, due to the influence of the symbols contained in the tattoo. In the same time an illiterate tattoo can ruin a whole life.

In a situation with magical tattoos, in particular Runic, things are the same, only the result - negative or positive, is much more pronounced. Such a tattoo is applied only once in a lifetime - it cannot be changed, and even after its reduction, the impact on a person's life is still preserved.

Therefore, it is much more convenient to use talismans - it can be removed if necessary and the changes made by it in the carrier's energy will disappear in a few days or weeks.

It is very important WHO applies and WHAT he puts into this image - what is the state of mind of the tattoo artist at the time of work.

It is not worth stabbing what is higher than WHAT you can take ... For example: military tattoos for a person who is not a warrior at all. Not in the sense of actions, but in the soul. Because they oblige you to be a warrior. They create situations where this quality should manifest itself, and a person does not need this at all, he is not ready for this.

If you decide to mark the body with a pattern, remember that a tattoo is not just a body painting, after you get a tattoo, it will always be with you. She will live with you, influence your life.

Having made one tattoo, it is almost impossible to stop. Usually, the one who wants to do it has a specific goal. In most cases, this goal is described by psychological and behavioral motivations. It seems to give freedom, self-expression, etc. But in fact, everything is somewhat deeper. And the first motivation, the first sip that a tattoo gives, smoothly moves to deeper layers of influence, directly participating in a person's life. Consider how tattoos affect a person's life.

Tattoo is a form of expression of one's own idea, thought, aspiration, made in such a form and in such a form that, as it seemed to a person, is the most accessible. That is, in fact, we can say that what a person wants to express can be expressed in a different form and in a different form. But, as you yourself understand, the right to act always remains with the one who commits it.

Tattooing as a phenomenon has been known for a very long time and has ancient roots. Initially, it was designed to attract the favor of gods and spirits, to protect its wearer from misfortunes and troubles. A little later, she became a kind of identification mark indicating the origin of a person, her belonging to any groups or castes, which gave those around him information about his welfare and occupation.

The term "tattoo" itself comes from the word "tattoo", which, in turn, is derived from "tatau", which means "drawing" in the Tahitian dialect of the Polynesian language. For the first time this word entered English with light hand traveler James Cook. He used it in his account of his travels around the world, which was published in 1773.

The influence of a tattoo on fate

There is an opinion that a tattoo can influence the fate of a person. Even if you do not delve into esoteric details, but talk only about psychological factors and the impact on a person's subconsciousness, there is a healthy grain in this.

When choosing a tattoo, a person predominantly stops at what he is striving for. For him, a tattoo is an emphasis on certain character traits. Subsequently, he observes this drawing every day. All visual images that fall into the area of attention are firmly settled in the subconscious. It is from there that they influence the behavior of the owner of the drawing.

Such an unconscious effect on self-awareness is also strengthened by a rather painful and often lengthy application process. As a result, an imprint of the image and what the person associates with it is formed in the subconscious.

Speaking about the reasons for the influence of tattoos on the character and fate of a person, the question of faith cannot be ignored. If a person believes that the drawing will change something in his life, most likely, this is exactly what will happen. The owner of the tattoo, on his own, without even noticing it, replaces his attitude to life and behavior. In this case, the placebo effect works.

For example, the tradition of tattooing is based on the effect of faith in Thailand. Every March, within the walls of Bang Phra Monastery, a festival of magical tattoos and sacred drawings is held. Only a man can become the owner of such a picture. Thais believe that tattoos called Sak Yant with prayer and blessing give them protection from all kinds of trouble.

It was believed (and is still considered) that with the help of a tattoo, a person tries to reflect his inner aspirations in the form and in the form that seems acceptable to him or the most accessible. That is, in fact, the psychological aspect of the influence on society is assigned to the tattoo, but despite the abundance of psychological factors of influence, the tattoo, both due to the psychological aspect and due to the sign influence of the symbol (or symbols), remains an object of ambiguous nature.

Let's start with large layers and large layers of understanding that will allow you to navigate the hidden processes of tattoos and their impact on human life.

Place (body part) of tattooing and its impact

So. There are two types of tattoos: visible, applied to exposed parts of the body, such as the hands, face and neck, and hidden, applied to the rest of the body.
But in summer you can see many more parts of the body, you say, and what is hidden in winter is visible in summer. Almost true, but in reality, in our conclusions, we rely not so much on seasonality as on certain social rules and norms, according to which a very large number of tattoo influences can be traced.
Visible tattoos serve two purposes. They are achieved together, regardless of whether their master is pursuing them or not. The first goal is social adjustment. A person, through a certain symbol or drawing, changes the attitude of society towards himself. The second is to change your behavior, your self-expression in relation to this society. Society means everything, indiscriminately.
Hidden - the purpose of such tattoos, influencing a narrow circle of people. With those who are near and with those who may be near. A person, first of all, thus corrects his behavior and the expression of his actions in relation to relatives, friends and acquaintances.
Moreover, this does not mean at all that a person, applying a tattoo on hidden parts of the body, in fact implies a direct influence of the drawing on the circle of the elite, but his mood and his attitude will certainly be changed by him.

A little later, we will take a closer look at how and not what this affects.

Genitals
External influence - Dissatisfaction (dissatisfaction) with partners, their behavior and attitude.
Inner influence - Desire to find sexual harmony, correspondence between reality and dreams.

Right leg
External Influence - The direction of movement and aspirations of a person.
Internal Influence - Restriction or support in a specified direction

Left foot
External influence - Search for a partner, support in life
Internal influence - Lack of support from family and friends

Right foot
External influence - Selfishness and the desire to live according to your own whims of desire
Internal influence - Dissatisfaction with communication, relationships with loved ones.

As you can see, negative influences are closely intertwined with positive ones. Of course, this does not mean at all that by applying a tattoo on the examined part of the body, you will receive this effect. But you can get it. Moreover, throughout life, this influence will be accentuated in these issues.
This is neither good nor bad. It happens that a person needs help and support in something and then, with the help of a tattoo, he wants to draw it from his inner world.
In addition to where the tattoo is applied, what is applied is also important. Yes, it happens that whole pictures are applied, which are not easy to translate according to their semantic load. But if you focus not on the general appearance, but on symbolism, it turns out that there is not so much to understand.
For example, the classic, Morning in a pine forest. The whole picture, the meaning of which may somewhat elude understanding. Meanwhile, there are painted bears, whole and broken trees and ... that's all. The rest is the background, the influence of which has practically no effect on the picture itself.

Examples of basic symbols and their magical meaning
I will give examples of the main symbols and their magical meaning so that you can understand what exactly such a tattoo will bring to your life.

Face or faces
talk about the need in their life to focus on themselves, their needs and their capabilities. Engage in self-realization and individual development.

Turtle
wisdom, security, and - sluggishness and slowness.
Snake
activity, flexibility, sophistication, and - causes rejection and makes you stay away from it.
