Getting a tattoo is an exciting experience, but that excitement may be marred by the discovery of hidden meanings. The more you know about your tattoo, the better you can plan for it and deal with any uncomfortable feelings about it. As well as being aware of any meanings your tattoo might have for friends and family, you should also research what your tattoo means from a broader cultural perspective. For example, if you get a tribal or Polynesian-inspired design on your back, read up on Inari panthees and kamis before you go in for the final details.
These tattoos can have many different meanings and weג€™re not quite sure why some people choose to hide them rather than display them proudly. Here are seven common hidden meanings of certain tattoos:
What are tattoos have a deep meaning?
The color black often symbolizes death, darkness, sadness and grief.
Some people choose to hide their tattoos because they are self-conscious about them. They may also be hiding them from the public eye for fear of persecution or just because they donג€™t want it to be seen by others due to the religious or cultural beliefs of those around them.
Another reason people may want to keep their tattoos hidden is because they are afraid of how others will react when they see it. For example, if you get a tattoo of an animal that has been abused, such as a cat, dog or horse, you may worry that people will make fun of you for getting such a tattoo, thinking that you have no respect for animals.
As well as these more negative meanings, many tattoos have positive meanings in addition to the hidden meanings. These include symbols that represent things like vowels and numbers.
