Death tattoos: the main depictions of the Grim Reaper

Image
There are a variety of different ways that the Grim Reaper can be portrayed as a tattoo symbol. Most Grim Reaper tattoo designs portray the Reaper in a long black robe with his famous long scythe. The Grim Reaper can be shown holding his scythe in a variety of different positions, such as the front or over his shoulder. Due to the length of the robe, only certain parts of the Reaper are usually shown. Skeleton hands are usually seen holding the long scythe. Mostly, the legs are not visible and the Grim Reaper is depicted floating at some distance above the ground (occasionally surrounded by some green or blue mist). The face of the Grim Reaper is usually portrayed as a skeleton skull, with an evil grin and burning eyes. However, some Grim Reaper tattoos show the Grim Reaper as "faceless".

Death Tattoos / Grim Reaper Tattoos: themes and meanings

Image
Grim Reaper (also referred to as the Angel of Death) is a figure commonly used to represent death. The Grim Reaper became prominent in folklore during the Middle Ages, displacing earlier conceptions of Death as a benevolent, female figure. In 1479 in Cardiff, Duroc, seemingly a representation of Death who resembled a walking skeleton, appeared. The Grim Reaper is often depicted as a skeleton or as a solemn-looking man wearing a flowing black cloak and carrying a scythe, who cuts off people's lives as though he were harvesting grain. Legend has it that he appears when one is nearing death to separate the human soul from the physical body using his sharp scythe. The Grim Reaper then chaperones the soul to its final destination (Heaven or Hell) and moves on to his next “appointment.” Although the Reaper is not a ghost, his is invisible and present at the moment of death.

What’s life without one?

“It takes a lot to eliminate a cockroach; even more to appreciate it.” Which human does not shudder at the sight of a cockroach? The first reaction is to kill; the second, to chase it away. The presence of a cockroach also brings on feelings of guilt — that the house is not clean enough — or irritation, if you are in someone else’s house. The cockroach may be the most objectionable household insect. It consumes human food and contaminates it with saliva and excrement. It also produces secretions that impart a characteristic stinking odour. Actually, the cockroach is an extremely useful scavenger. If you did not have cockroaches, no city could work, as they clean the drains into which every city human pours his filth. In the forest, the cockroaches eat the dead leaves and other decaying matter and turn it into mulch which is essential for the growth of new trees. Let me tell you the marvels of the cockroach If your children ever get to the moon they might find that the only inhabitants ...

Another failed kanji / hanzi tattoo

Image
Yesterday I found this image on tattooingtattoodesigns dot com. This tattoo can be found in the section called "asian tattoo design", but, if you ask me, it should be placed in a category called "Failed tattoos" or "misspelled tattoos", or something of this kind. First, the translation of the ideograms is completely wrong: it's not "I am a goddess" (as the person who posted the photo thinks), it's just the word "goddess" awfully written. The word 女神 (pronunciations: nǚshén in Chinese, joshin or megami in Japanese) is composed by these two ideograms: This ideogram means "woman", "female" This ideogram means "gods", "soul" or "mind". The ideogram is composed by two parts which MUST always be written together, not split in two, as the tattooer did in this case. In the pictures below you can see the correct writing of this word: the word "goddess" written with Chinese...

Failed tattoos : misspelled tattoos 2

Image
The first part of this post can be read here: Failed tattoos - misspelled tattoos 1. And now, let's see another series of failed tattoos: You're right, dude, the pain is temporary (or tempary , like you've said), but your tattoo is not "To young to die / to fast to live" . How about this one: "too illiterate to get a tattoo" - how does it sound? "Dance like noone is watching" - yeah, sure, dance like "noone" is watching and write like no one will ever read it Who need a "guardian angel", anyway? A "gaurdian angel" is far more better than the old-fashioned "guardian angel" "a coment?" I'll leave a comment right here: "comment" is written with two “m” 's, not one
