Mountains always conceal a lot of hidden things, which can also characterize a person – everyone has a dark side that may be dormant for the time being.

However, mountains as a tattoo can also have a perfectly logical meaning without mysticism. Mountains are a natural symbol for mountain climbers because it is their passion. However, not only these adventurous people can put a tattoo with mountains on their body, but also other personalities, for example:

Achieving a certain amount of success is quite logical to compare to climbing a difficult mountain;
