Different people’s tattoos and other body art can mean very different things to them. Some places celebrate things that aren’t acceptable in other places.
For example, a symbol or sigil that means a lot in one place might look like a bunch of random squiggles in another.
I think it’s safe to say that people have been using their looks to send messages and show themselves for about as long as we’ve been a species.
You probably don’t live on a deserted island, because most people are used to seeing people with tattoos. Some designs may be silly ones they wish they hadn’t bought when they were younger, but others, like those that tell stories or follow traditions, can have deep, meaningful meanings.
While you may not agree, I think it’s very interesting when I see the same tattoo on more than one person. In other words, I’m immediately interested in what the tattoo means and why the person got it and wants to keep it on their body for the rest of their lives.
People have told me stories about the “red string of fate” many times over the years, but I’ve never thought to look into them until now.
It’s possible that some of our readers will recognize the small red tattoo, but many of those who have seen it before probably don’t know what it means.
