Mermaid Tattoos – A Clash Of Two Worlds

If you are thinking of getting a mermaid tattoo, you most probably have a love for the ocean, a wild child who loves to roam free, unbounded by anything or anyone. You most likely have a appreciation of unparalleled beauty, the kind of beauty that can only be imagined.

A mermaid tattoo also can symbolize a conflict between two worlds. That world that grants you life and the world that drags you deep into the hollows of death. Like the ocean, that both holds the livelihood of billions of creatures, but has the full capability of taking your breath away, literally, a mermaid is known to show the same tendencies as the home she inhabits. Myth dictates that mermaids were evil sea dwelling creature’s, half fish, half humans who used their alluring bodies and ethereal voices to lure sailors to jump off their vessels into the oceans and taking their souls.

Conversely mermaids were known to also breathe life into humans who needed reviving and they would act as guides to bring them to the safety of the shore. A mermaid tattoo demonstrate an individual with unpredictable, tempyuous ways, an individual that can grant you a safety net if you’re in trouble, can guide you in times of confusion, can take you to the moon and back with her charms and can hypnotize you to doing whatever she wants. Ata the same time she can commit the most darkest of sins.

A Mermaid Tattoo - An All Seeing Creature

Mermaid Tattoos

Mermaids were strongly associated with the moon and they were energetically connected to them. The moon is the most potent symbol for femininity and of intuition and because of this, in ancient European culture the mermaid was known to have deep insight and was a creature that was intuitively very strong.

They were the keepers of the deepest, darkest of secrets that have dazzled men through the ages which contributes to these creatures’ eeriness. Just like the haunted house that knows too much, the mermaid with her experience in the depth of the oceans knows many unexpressed legends and tales.

They could peer into your soul and through their intuition would know exactly what was contained within it. Your mermaid tattoo may also work to enhance your femininity and deepen your psyche, it may also represent an individual who has many things locked inside them.

A Mermaid Tattoo As A Pin Up

Many men also choose to ink a mermaid tattoo, but their reasons for doing so, as you can imagine are completely different! A mermaid tattoo on men generally symbolizes the sensual, sexual nature of the mermaids. They are symbolic of the ultimate enchantress known to lure men and take a peek into their deepest fantasies and make them come true even if costs them their lives. A friend of mine has a mermaid tattoo in the form of a pin up girl and his reason for choosing such a tattoo was this- ‘I am destined to go hell anyway so why not get a taste of paradise before that’ !
