A vulture tattoo carries strong and multifaceted symbolism, often linked to themes of survival, renewal, protection, and even death and transformation. Here are some key meanings: 1. Survival and Resilience The vulture is known for surviving in harsh environments, adapting to the most difficult circumstances. Tattooing a vulture can symbolize the ability to overcome challenges and adversity, representing strength and perseverance. 2. Renewal and Transformation In nature, vultures play an essential role in the life cycle by cleaning carcasses and preventing the spread of disease. This aspect of “purification” associates the vulture with the idea of renewal, the closing of cycles, and the start of new chapters. 3. Protection and Wisdom In some cultures, the vulture is seen as a spiritual guardian, capable of seeing far and foreseeing danger. It symbolizes vigilance, wisdom, and the ability to see beyond appearances. 4. Death and the Dark Side of Life The vulture is also often associated with death, but not in a negative way. It represents acceptance of mortality and the transition to new phases. For some, a vulture tattoo may reflect a period of loss or a reminder that life is fleeting. 5. Freedom and Destiny As birds of prey that travel great distances, vultures symbolize freedom, autonomy, and the idea of following one’s own path, regardless of circumstances. A vulture tattoo can be designed in an aggressive or serene manner, depending on the personal interpretation of the wearer. It is a choice that conveys depth and a connection to nature and its inevitable cycles. CARTRIDGES : @jconly_official TATTOO AFTER CARE: @tattoogoo

Aurora was a husky who made her owner happy for 17 years, until, due to life’s circumstances, she had to become an angel and go to heaven. But Aurora had many happy moments throughout her life, and one of them is captured in this tattoo. She experienced snow—an incredibly comforting environment for dogs of her breed. This is exactly the experience that her owner, @jessi_smith14, wanted to eternalize on her skin. I hope this tattoo brings her much happiness and cherished memories. I feel honored and grateful to be a part of this story. Sponsored @jconly_official : Cartridges @jconly_epoch : tattoo pen machine @jconly_reven : tattoo protection @tattoogoo : tattoo after care

The Japanese tattoo, known as Irezumi or Wabori, has a long and rich history that dates back centuries, filled with cultural and artistic significance. Origins and Beginnings of Irezumi/Wabori: • Jomon Period (10,000 BCE – 300 BCE): The earliest records of tattoos in Japan come from clay figures of the Jomon era, which featured marks on the face and body, suggesting spiritual or social rituals. • Yayoi Period (300 BCE – 300 CE): Chinese records mention tattoos among Japanese people, used primarily as spiritual symbols or amulets against evil spirits. • Kofun Period (300 – 600 CE): Tattoos began to be associated with criminal punishment. Criminals were marked with visible tattoos to indicate their crimes, a practice that would shape the negative perception of tattoos for centuries. Evolution and Consolidation of Irezumi: • Edo Period (1603 – 1868): Irezumi transformed from a symbol of punishment into a form of decorative art. During this period, tattoos became popular among workers, firefighters, fishermen, and members of the floating world (Ukiyo-e), such as courtesans and performers. The art of tattooing full bodies with images of dragons, koi fish, and flowers was inspired by woodblock prints (Ukiyo-e). • Prohibition (1868 – 1948): With the Meiji Restoration, tattoos were banned in Japan, viewed as a “barbaric” practice by Western standards. However, the practice continued underground, especially among members of the Yakuza (Japanese mafia). After World War II, tattoos were legalized, but the stigma persisted. • Modern Era (1948 – Present): Japanese tattooing regained recognition as an art form. Tattoo artists began receiving international acclaim, and Irezumi was preserved as a cultural tradition, though it remains associated with certain stereotypes. 👉 Save and share to follow this series!

📜 Irezumi in the Edo Period: From Marginalization to Art During the Edo period (1603-1868), Japan witnessed the rise of Irezumi as an art form that transcended its origins linked to punishment. Initially, tattoos were used to mark criminals, serving as a social stigma. However, over time, Irezumi became associated with workers, firefighters (hikeshi), and artists who transformed their bodies into living canvases, adorned with dragons, koi fish, and flowers. In this period, Irezumi became a symbol of strength, courage, and cultural resistance during an era of strict regulation and social control. Tattoos represented a form of freedom and personal expression, inspired by ukiyo-e prints and Japanese legends. 👉 Did you know that some of the most famous tattoo artists of the time were also woodblock print artists? Art on the body and on paper went hand in hand! 🔖 Bibliographic References: • DeMello, M. (2000). Bodies of Inscription: A Cultural History of the Modern Tattoo Community.
