Looking at tattoos as a way to view the emergence of your soul is a new concept that has ancient roots in man’s once-close association with the realm of spirit. Emotional energies become incarnate through tattoo symbols. Your inked images are the interpreters between the seen and unseen realms that we quantumly exist in at all times. Understanding your tattoos beyond the ink is a bit like learning a new language because nothing is what it appears to be on the surface. There is always the deeper meaning attached to some emotion or memory. Tattoos and the symbols you embody can be powerful tools for accessing self-knowledge. Your ink can initiate an inner healing, mark a transition in your life, and be a creative outlet for authentic self-expression.
Tattoo art, symbols, and even the light and dark of the colors used for shading, are actually a mirror of your inner world. Tattoos reflect your inner architecture and current mindset as you move through life. The art and symbols can best be understood if you approach them the way you would the metaphors in a poem. In poetry, symbolic language captures the deeper essence of an unspoken idea or feeling.
Tattoo images and symbols may appear to be easily defined visually. For example, say you got a tattoo of a turtle. To the eye the image of a turtle appears as an animal but this symbol connects into your consciousness and reveals a deeper message. The turtle represents patience, longevity, inner wisdom, and home. It connects to the wisdom of your inner Sage archetype. Its expression is even further realized by looking at the part of the body that carries the emotional energy expressed through this tattoo image. The turtle symbol makes you ask: Where do I have to slow down, where do I need patience? Once that part of you receives the information, shifts in your consciousness occur at a deeper level. You didn’t know that the turtle image already answered your questions. In an intuitive way, the image inspired you to begin to start considering ways to approach your problem. By realizing your connection to the energy of the image you are able to access the hidden knowledge in your consciousness. This can bring about synchronistic events where things begin to line up to provide you with much needed guidance and answers. You begin to see that everything is connected.
Tattoo images and symbols are a way to connect with your consciousness and explore the hidden yet vital knowledge of yourself that brings about wholeness. Clues come forward in your tattoos that reveal emerging sides of you, often through the images, symbols, and colors you choose to imprint on your body. They are the materialized form of what is held in the realms of consciousness. They represent your archetypes and inner guidance. Explore the adjectives that best describe your tattoos, and how these qualities may currently be active or emerging in your approach to life.
