Dove Tattoos Meaning

The meaning of any tattoo is somewhat up to the person who got the tattoo and what they were thinking about when they got the ink done.

For a Christian for example the dove is a symbol of Christ and Christianity in general.

However, doves have also been used in other religions and even the occult to symbolize the release of the spirit from the body.

In more contemporary culture doves are a symbol for love, peace and purity.

One significant fact about doves is they mate for life.

So dove can also be used to symbolize an everlasting love and have been used at times in memorial tattoo designs.

The symbolism and meaning of a dove is really dependent on the person and the culture.

There are popular symbolisms within the world of tattoo designs but other cultures ascribe different meanings and symbols to the dove.

However the dove is universally regarded as the symbol for peace.

New York Shopping: Make-Up and Skin Care

My New York make-up and skin care shopping!
So far I'm really happy with the Caudalie skin care set, the eye and lip creme is the first creme that my skin doesn't over-react on! Jayyy! (I have a very sensitive skin) and I just love the porefessionally set I use as a primer! A little trick I learned is to dab a little eyecreme on top of your foundation around the eye-area when creases appear (works like a miracle!)

2 Stila illuminating foundation, powder and eyeshadow palette

Skull Tattoo Meaning

The skull tattoo actually is thought to represent change. More specifically, it represented great change in life. This makes sense because skulls are associated with death, which is the greatest change of all.

With this in mind, you can get this tattoo as a way to remind yourself that death does happen to everyone and it should be thought of as a change in life. It is something that everyone goes through, so it is not necessarily something that should be feared.

Although this is the actual meaning of a skull tattoo, it is not the common meaning. The majority of people today consider skull tattoos to represent fear and danger. Because these are such common associations with these tattoos, you might want to consider those meanings before you get your tattoo.

Even if you want your tattoo to represent the change in life, the majority of people who see your tattoo will not understand your thoughts. It is good to know all the meanings of tattoos so you know for sure whether you want it. Because it has this second meaning to it, skull tattoos are popular among many men.

For them, it represents a power that they have. This is why you will see a skull tattoo on everyone from a sailor to a motorcycle rider. It has universal meaning for these men because they see a little bit of themselves in the tattoo.

Because tattoos have such meanings to them, it makes sense to know what they mean before you get it done. Even if it does not change your mind on the tattoo, it just helps to know what you are getting on your body for the rest of your life.

Shopping: velvet blue tapestry boots

Jeffrey Campbell Yuma Fab from LFstores (or at Solestruck online)

Of course there was plenty of shopping while being in New York! I bought a lot of Make-Up and Skin Care products and yes, clothing and shoes too! The suitcase totally restricted me in shopping as I just didn't see any possibility (packing wise) in bringing back Anthropologie's tableware (ceramics) and heavy books. 

Luckily there was some space left for shoes to squeeze in and I found these on sale (50% off) at the LFstores in Soho. Now its just waiting for the weather to allow me to wear these bare legged with dresses!

PAST, PRESENT & FUTURE

Libra Tattoo

Tattoos from the zodiac calendar are always good at symbolizing the personality of the wearer. Libra is the sign for anyone born between September 23rd and October 22nd. Libra’s represent life and balance and are generally worn by people that have a cool and calm demeanor. Libra tattoos show stability and harmony with nature and are a good way to display your place in the stars. Justice is another strong trait in a Libra tattoo, and the resilience and stability that represent a Libra gives it the symbol of the scale.
