Tattoo Key

A key is a simple at first sight object, but very important for a person. With the key we close and open locks, pick up the key to our hearts, as well as without it some secrets cannot be solved. All this is enough for the image of the key to become a rather popular motif for tattoos.

The concept of a key is very often perceived exclusively in conjunction with a lock – this has become the theme of many paired tattoos for lovers, as well as friends. Sometimes the image of this object is associated with the disclosure of a mystery or the solution of a problem. In this case, the presence of such a tattoo can mean that the person is able to find a way out of any situation in life.

More often girls decorate their bodies with the image of a key, and place the tattoo on a finger or hand. Often the tattoo has no special meaning, but it is considered both as body decoration and as a good luck charm. Very often ladies choose the sketches of tattoos with keys, which are not the central symbol, and combined with other elements – it can be images of animals, flowers, sacred symbols.

Where to score a tattoo key, and in what style?

Sketches of tattoos with the image of keys can be depicted in a variety of styles. The work can also be performed in color or monochrome. Useful advice – you should not choose to apply too large sketches, much more attractive looks a small picture, successfully blended into the image of a person.

As a rule, monochrome drawings of the key are placed on the hand – it can be the wrist, the rib of the palm or a finger. Tattoo in color is usually placed on the shoulder or ankle, which looks very nice. If the plan is to be bold or to hint at the sexual connotations of the tattoo, which is peculiar to the ladies, the picture can be applied on the chest, lower back, thigh or lower abdomen.

The special passion of clients of tattoo salons have for the sketches, executed in 3D style. It is also worth highlighting the stylistic areas of watercolor, graphics and realism – be sure to check out these works.

What does tattoo key mean for women and men?

In addition to the meanings of the key used as a subject for the tattoo, which we brought in the beginning of the text, in this symbol you can put other meanings. For example, girls often correlate the image of the key on their body with such concepts:

Innocence;
Secrecy;
Modesty.

Men are not prone to excessive symbolism of their drawings on the body, using them only to emphasize their own brutality. But sometimes there are exceptions, and in such a tattoo a man can put this meaning – the concealment of real emotions, independence and the desire to preserve his own freedom.
