Gothic Tattoo Designs

There are many typical designs for Gothic tattoos? People who are part of Goth culture have very eclectic and imaginative tastes and interests, a fact that is fully reflected in their tattoos. One category of Gothic tattoos, therefore, are ‘fantasy’ imagesand the like. Interest in the medieval is one offshoot of Goth culture, and the imagery of that time is strongly represented in the tattoo images. That’s not to say that this fantasy world is always benign, though – as the dragon images show, fairy tale life had its own set of dangers!

A second category of Gothic tattoos deals with what we might term the occult – images relating to Wicca (white witchcraft), the Tarot, the Viking Runes, or other mystic crafts or oracles. Wiccan images include the pentacle, a five-pointed star; the ‘athame’, a double edged blade used in Wiccan rituals, or symbols related to the four elements – earth, air, fire and water.

Gothic tattoos are extremely varied, because they reflect the various interests of people who see themselves as part of the Goth culture and lifestyle. Some Goth tattoos may be more socially acceptable than others, but most of them definitely will cause attention!
