All about the "Crown" tattoo on the neck

For thousands of years, rulers and leaders in various cultures have worn the crown or its analogs as a symbol of power and the ruling clan. Its image was used in portraits and flags, it was embroidered on canvases and minted on weapons. Some ancient peoples considered this a symbol of divine power, calling the leader wearing the crown the chosen one and even the viceroy of the gods on earth. Nowadays, the image of this royal headdress is often used for the design of tattoos, both as an independent image and as part of a larger picture.

The "Crown" tattoo is a universal symbol that will suit anyone.

Depending on the style of such a drawing, it can carry different meanings.

• Leadership, striving for success and power, prestige and even longevity are the most ancient and main meaning of this symbol. From the time of the first leaders to the present day, the crown means precisely the chosenness of the wearer.
• Exclusivity and originality. Such a tattoo is often stuffed to emphasize its peculiarity and dissimilarity from the rest.
• Trinity. The image of a crown with three prongs means the unity of the Holy Trinity, and religious tattoos can carry it.
• Waiting for a miracle, the innocence of a princess. For girls, the image of the crown can also embody the symbolism of purity and a certain innocence. This meaning is often put into it by younger clients of salons.

In addition to the design of the crown, its specific position on the neck is of no small importance. The size and place of the tattoo reveal some psychological characteristics of a person.

• Behind... Such a tattoo is not striking and is done, rather, for the close circle or oneself, than for strangers. A self-centered introvert will find it easier and more comfortable with a crown at the back of the head that can be covered with hair.

• Sideways... This place is more often chosen by people of creative professions, lovers of sophistication and art. For many singers or artists, the crown is part of the image.

• In front... Such a crown is a sign of an open and even shocking extrovert, a person who throws down a certain challenge to society and others.

Apart from the design in which the tattoo is made, the crown symbol itself can vary greatly. For example, a simple classic crown with sharp teeth is good for small tattoos.

Large color images, additionally decorated with flowers and inscriptions, also look great.

The crown could be next.

• With name. This can be the name of a spouse or child, an idol, or even your own. For a small drawing, you can use short versions, cute nicknames, and even a single letter.

• With rocks. A crown with rubies or diamonds looks especially good in multi-colored colorful tattoos. However, it should be understood that only a master will do such work well, and it always costs more than black and white. In addition, color work loses contrast faster and requires more careful maintenance.

• With flowers. Cool precious metal looks great surrounded by delicate colors. Such a tattoo is more suitable for girls, but there will certainly be some courageous experimenters among the stronger sex.

• With a cross or a crown of thorns... This type has found its popularity among believers and is directly related to the symbols of Christianity.

• Crowned animals... In the male variants, large predators most often appear, and in the first place is, of course, the king of animals - the lion. The female variants are more diverse and may include other representatives of the animal world.

• With a skull or a monster... Bold and even aggressive tattoos depicting death itself or its analogs often act as a talisman from herself or as a symbol of good luck in endeavors.

• Paired... Often, lovers depict the symbols of the King and Queen as a sign of the strength of their love. Recently, some couples have replaced with paired tattoos even the familiar symbol of family and marriage - wedding rings.

There are many styles of tattoos, and the same image of the crown can be strikingly different in them. Not every one of them is suitable for depicting a crown, but before going to the salon, it is better to study their features and choose a few you like, and it is best to find the very perfect sketch.

• Dotwork... The image is created from many small dots and lines that add up to the crown symbol. The final color of the tattoo depends on the density of their application.

• New school. The style of the "new school" originated in the mid-80s and is distinguished by the absence of any restrictions in color and shape. Its main difference from other colored tattoos is some kind of abstraction and even humor. A crown in this style can be deformed or cartoony worn on a caricature or a character in a piece of art.
