Mirror tattoos are classic and perfect for anyone who wants to add a vintage touch to their skin. mirrors of all shapes and sizes can be added to almost any part of the body. The mirror edge can be complex with many details and be the main artistic element of the tattoo. other artists try to create an image inside the mirror which can be difficult to achieve, but looks amazing if done right.
magic mirrors
Mirrors have a long history of being a powerful instrument. they reflect light and display the image of what they see. light is a representation of wisdom and awareness. no wonder a mirror has so much symbolism.
From a psychological and spiritual perspective, mirrors reflect the truth. they show us what reality is really like when we cannot see it. it is the gateway between the conscious mind and the unconscious mind. and what a person can find can be surprising.
mirror symbolism people
A mirror tattoo can mean several things. one theory is that the mirror represents an important person in the individual’s life. that person was able to help the individual to see his own reflection of himself as he really is. It can be difficult at times to play the role of the mirror, but when appreciated, it can take an individual to new levels in terms of self-awareness.
mirrors can mean mothers, sisters, wives or a girl’s best friend. the mirror is usually associated with a female person due to its popularity with sex. even the shape of a hand mirror is similar to the symbol of the woman. an empty mirror can also symbolize our isolation from the world. like vampires, the reflection in a mirror is not possible and there is no one who can help us understand ourselves.
mirrors with dreams
Many mirror tattoos have an image drawn as a reflection. this can be anything the person dreams of or sees himself in her imagination. there are mirror tattoos with castles and a fairy tale landscape or mirror tattoos with cats and other animals that the person relates to. the mirror tattoo is a perfect canvas to deepen and reflect what you dream of.
broken mirror tattoo
A broken mirror has a popular connotation of bad luck. Although quite negative, sometimes it can be healthy to admit that you have been or are going through a difficult time. a broken mirror tattoo can symbolize this time in one’s life. it can also represent that no matter what happens to you, you can overcome bad luck and even get it tattooed on your body! For example, a heart-shaped mirror with broken glass can represent getting over a breakup.
Some people go further and make the broken tattoo extremely complex. they add a reflection in the mirror and create a broken effect. this shows that everything that was in the reflection has been destroyed. it can range from anything, including a bad time in one’s life or a negative person that one walked away from.
mirror edge tattoo designs
the frontier is where artists can be really creative. some people go for a vintage style with a heavy border full of emblems. this can be done in a simple black and white, a dirty silver, or even gold and black. the key element here is to make it look heavy.
Another popular option is to add some floral features to the border. roses are a popular choice for this look. to balance it out, add a rose in the bottom right corner and also in the top left corner. flowers can add a pop of color to the border if the border is done with black and white ink.
If you like geometric shapes and mandalas, your imagination is the limit. it is possible to incorporate these features into a mirror tattoo. all you need to do is find the right artist who can sketch what you’d like to have as a border.
