what does this tatt mean to you? what do you think this is the person saying with it?….what message does it give you?
discuss –
it says to me that there is no imagination in the piece and also it says that they should have gone to a shop or somebody that knows more about good designs, the cross and pentagram normally are associated with witchcraft and death…
but seriously, they should have gone to a shop or at least someone who knows what they are doing, the execution of that piece is god dam aweful.. the cross dont even match up, it has blow outs and inconsistant lines, let alone the wobbles… i hope they didnt pay to have that done !!
Hi
Well looking at it carefully it would seem that the inspiration was taken from the idea of the Hermetic Rose Cross from the Order Of The Golden Dawn. That said it would most likely be stated that this is a thelmetic interpretation of Alistair’s Crowley’s magic rituals which many believe was linked to black magic and witchcraft.
The use of the broken or defiled cross (hence the pentagram and the dodgy attempts at occultist symbols on the arms or is it an ‘S’ for Satan?) would suggest that this has Satanistic leanings as opposed to the Druidic/Wicca/Pagan rituals that would involve the use of a pentagram.
The rose has often been used in many rituals as a symbol of binding, power, lust, or life. This could be interpreted as bringing Satan to life.
The three drops of blood well in all religions blood = life.
There is much debate about what each drop represents but in general they can mean domination of (or giving of yourself to Satan) Mind, Body, Soul.
So yep it seems to me that they have gone for the ‘dark gothic’ style of ink.
Sad to say this but that is one awful tattoo – it had so much potential but the linework is terrible.

I guess it would depend on what the symbols mean to the person who has the tattoo. You have a Cross made out of the blades of a sword, a red rose wrapped around it then a pentagram in the middle. To me a red rose represents love. When I see a cross I think of religion and limitation. The pentagram can have many different meanings depending on who you ask. Those symbols can mean something completely different to someone else.
ROFL that’s exactly what I was thinking I just didn’t want to type it out. You’re my hero.

It is amazing what people will say about themselves.
This says, “Love, I will not forget you. They can beat me till I am black and blue but I will not leave without you. It matters not, what they say nor what silence does not say, for with this bruise I bare my soul; with these thorns, I find peace within my pain, and calmness within my confusion; and with these tears of my anger, I grow; as I am; as only you know. I protect what simple perfection is within my heart, within us all. My faith in you is not a word, nor an image but the trust and truth that you are, for you are more then an image of myself, and I am nothing without the all that you comprise. Take this piece for the whole, for I give this rose to the sky as I live, and to the ground when this body dies; our love is not forsaken, neither are you, and neither am I. Simple. As all the fish in the sea, and all the stars in the sky.”
