How new things sometimes repel us from itself. It was when I was growing up , I heard about people getting inked . I , personally, was never in favour of getting a tattoo on my body as for me , I didn’t get the idea of inflicting so much pain on one’s body parts for getting it painted in some angular or floral or calligraphic forms.
One day, while surfing the internet, I read something that hit me hard enough to change my perception . There it said: “Tattoos- The only thing you take to your grave.” These words carved into me the love for tattoos as it felt to be the only permanent thing in life then.
However , getting something on your body so permanent that you probably don’t want to get rid of is a mental impression to be properly hunched upon. Moreover, don’t you want to add deep meanings to your tattoos so that it could sound significant even after 10 or 15 years ? Here’s the space where I could give you a little help.
So,tattoo lovers,following are some of the tattoos with deep meanings :
