All about the Panda tattoo

A tattoo is not only a beautiful decoration for the human body. In some cases, it carries a deep message, and sometimes it is even a rather powerful amulet. For this reason, before applying this or that pattern to your body, you must first find out about its meaning. Below we will tell you about what a panda tattoo means, who is it suitable for and what types of such tattoos exist.

The panda is an omnivorous mammal that belongs to the bear family and shares some characteristics with raccoons. Many people are attracted by this animal with a peculiar coloring, consisting of white and black flowers. OHowever, we note that there is another species of pandas - the red panda. It differs from the common panda in its appearance: it is a small animal resembling a cat or raccoon, and has a red color with white spots.

It is especially popular among residents of Asian and European countries. Most of them believe that the panda symbolizes friendship and kindness, because it is a good-natured creature, which is also soft and fluffy, which causes only positive associations.

The panda is of particular importance in China. There, this beast is considered national. For this reason, in China, other Chinese symbols are added to drawings depicting a panda: for example, sakura, bamboo or lotus. There is even a "panda diplomacy" in this country: the Chinese government presents statuettes of these animals to representatives of those countries with which active cooperation and successful relationships have been established. For the Chinese, this animal symbolizes trust in the world, openness.

Besides, in China, the color of the panda reminds many of the symbolism of yin and yang, which is a fusion of white and black. Yin and yang are interpreted as harmony and tranquility - this is what the panda symbolizes in China.

In the West, the image of a panda also has a special interpretation. There, tattoos with this animal are done in order to support environmental organizations, to express their respect for them, because they are making a lot of efforts to save animals, including pandas. This interpretation of the image is due to the fact that in Western culture, the panda personifies compassion, innocence and carelessness.

Moreover, the image of this animal is the official emblem of the worldwide animal protection fund.

In addition, the image of a panda can be interpreted as a symbol of loneliness. These animals do not gather in flocks, they even raise their cubs with great reluctance.

However, do not think that pandas are animals that exclusively symbolize goodness and positiveness. For many, they represent hidden aggression. This is due to one event that happened in 1978: the panda decided to attack the zoo keeper when he tried to take the toy from her. Usually, if the owner puts just such a meaning into his tattoo, he complements it with such plot elements as a pistol or a machine gun.

A panda tattoo is considered universal. It is suitable for both girls and men. In both cases, it means most often positive: harmony with oneself, poise, good nature. However, it should be borne in mind that depending on certain compositional elements that are present in the image, the meaning of the tattoo may expand or change slightly.

But for a couple in love, such an image is definitely not suitable, especially as a paired tattoo. This is explained by the fact that pandas prefer to be alone.

Panda tattoos can be made in different styles.

• It is quite interesting that such a tattoo looks in the style of realism. This style is characterized by drawing even the smallest details, due to which the image is naturalistic and natural, which amazes many. However, work on such wearable drawings is notable for its complexity, and therefore not every master decides to take on it.

• The geometry style for such a drawing would also be appropriate. Such drawings, the contour of which is constructed by broken lines, look very interesting and effective. The same can be said about such a style solution as minimalism. It is most suitable for those people who want to see a discreet image that does not attract too much attention.

• Tattoo made in a watercolor style solution, will also look very interesting, because it is distinguished by its brightness, colorfulness and softness of transitions between different shades.

• Other styles for this tattoo will work as well. It can be graphics, old school or new school - it all depends on the preferences of the person himself and the skills of the tattoo artist.

According to the plot, panda tattoos can also be different. So, on a body drawing, only the face of a panda or the whole panda can be depicted as a whole - it only depends on the person who wants to get such a tattoo. An important role here is played by what meaning the person wants to put into the image.

So, if the future tattoo holder wants it to mean hidden aggression, then in this case it is worth portraying an evil panda with a grin and pistols. This tattoo is considered predominantly male.

If the panda is depicted calm and busy chewing bamboo, then such a tattoo, on the contrary, speaks of the peacefulness, kindness and calmness of its owner.

Girls tend to wear wearable images where the panda looks cute and friendly. In this case, you can add various floristic elements, decorations and other details to the female drawing that will only emphasize femininity and tenderness.

If the picture with a panda contains such elements as a cocktail in a glass, sunglasses, a surfboard, then this indicates that the owner of such a tattoo strives to live to the maximum. He, as a rule, looks at the world with a positive and seeks to get only pleasure from life. However, all this has a downside: such a person is usually frivolous, it is difficult to call him responsible, he solves his problems with great difficulty, and there is no need to talk about strangers.

A tattoo depicting a panda in a suit also looks very interesting. Usually, such images on their bodies are stuffed by men who want to emphasize the ability to do business, calmness and prudence.

The carelessness of the owner of the tattoo can emphasize the drawing of a panda flying on a bunch of balls. Love for music - a panda wearing headphones or with a player. If a person is a fan of cyberpunk and biopunk, then a wearable image, where the panda's head looks robotic and has various mechanisms, will suit him. And fans of martial arts, as a rule, complement the image of a panda with a kimono or boxing gloves.

Often on tattoos you can see the character of the well-known cartoon "Kung Fu Panda" - the pot-bellied panda Po. Such a wearable image also has its own interpretation.

Often, a lotus flower, yin and yang symbols, various hieroglyphs and inscriptions are introduced into a composition where a panda is present. Such a wearable image usually indicates that a person is fond of the culture of Eastern countries or seeks to know himself, conducts spiritual searches. However, we note that before applying this or that hieroglyph to your body, you need to find out about its meaning, otherwise there is a risk of getting into an awkward situation if the hieroglyph in translation means something stupid or uncivilized.

Besides, The underwear image of a panda is sometimes decorated with different patterns. Such patterns can be applied purely for aesthetic reasons, or they can carry a certain meaning - it only depends on the person who wants to wear such an image on his body.

A panda tattoo is allowed to be applied to any part of the body. In many ways, the scale of the image, as well as the preferences of a person, play a decisive role in choosing a place.

Most often, large body designs are depicted on the back, shoulder, forearm or chest. Often it can be a whole sleeve with a specific plot. If the tattoo is small, then it can be placed on the neck, wrist, leg (ankle, calf, thigh), on the arm, ribs. Anywhere the tattoo will look beautiful and appropriate if a good and talented master has worked on it.
