WHAT ARE MEANINGFUL TATTOO DESIGNS FOR MEN?

Historically, men tattoos were done as a rite of passage in many cultures – going from boys to men through a unique and meaningful design for the man in question.

In the West, with the uprising of Sailor Jerry and Navy tattoos, different kinds of tattoo designs for men were popularized. There are also fun tattoo ideas, such as Halloween tattoos

Among others, meaningful tattoo designs for men include:

• Family tattoos –  a tattoo that will portray the eternal bond a man feels to his family, partner, and parents.
• Animal tattoos – popular animal tattoos for men include animals lions, ravens, snakes and wolves with strong symbolics of strength, overcoming obstacles and endurance, or even just animalistic objects, such as feather tattoos.
• Tribal tattoos – aesthetically please with a strong message of perseverance, masculinity, strength, and endurance, tribal tattoos have emerged from far away cultures into the Western mainstream, and with a good reason – they are a puzzle on their own, with their meaning mostly hidden for everyone but the person wearing it.
• Realistic tattoos – depictions of nature, timepieces, roses, women figures and fictional characters are common in realistic sleeve designs for men.
• Traditional tattoos – from Sailor Jerry to neo-traditional tattoo designs, the unique aesthetic of traditional tattoos are especially pleasing to men, with their meanings ranging from fun and quirky to deep meanings such as tattoos dedicated to mothers.
• Heritage tattoos – a tattoo dedicated to honoring one’s roots and culture, these tattoos can be mixed with modern symbols to create meaningful tattoo designs, such as Irish and Celtic tattoos, or Native American tattoos, for example
