Tattoo "Save and Preserve"

During their travels around the world, sailors encountered an unknown tradition of applying underwear designs among the aborigines in order to protect the wearer of the tattoo from diseases and misfortunes. The sailors adopted this custom, only this time with Christian symbols.

For example, the inscription “Save and Save” on the back served as protection against possible corporal punishment, which was common in the navy.

The history of tattooing began from time immemorial, so the exact place where they originated is almost impossible to determine. However, the opinions of scientists agree on one thing - the wearable drawings originally carried a magical character, were associated with various rituals and rituals, acted as a talisman, and were also a sign for determining social status in society. The latter has survived in India to this day, where tattoos are applied in order to determine which caste a particular person belongs to.

In modern society, the presence of a tattoo on the body will not surprise anyone. Moreover, many people fill themselves with tattoos even in adolescence, because at this time young blood boils and requires rebellion. The variety of tattoos has no limits, everything is limited only by the artist's imagination. Someone puts a special meaning in the tattoos, which they put on their body, and someone just fills the picture they like.

There are also traditional images that carry a certain meaning. These include the inscription "Save and Preserve." Initially, the image on the body of this inscription was inherent in representatives of the underworld and related to prison symbols.However, now many tattoos from the criminal environment have smoothly flowed into everyday life, radically changing their meaning.

A sketch of a tattoo with the inscription "Save and Preserve" is used not only by purely religious people. The wearer of this kind of tattoo can put his own meaning into it, which is understandable to him alone. Moreover, the age contingent can be very diverse - from a teenage guy to an already established man.

Most people choose a sketch of a tattoo in order to protect the soul and body from troubles and misfortunes. In addition, such an inscription can mean the following:

• manifestation of faith in the Almighty and the need for his protection;

• achieving spiritual purity;

• assistance in making the right life decisions;

• the lifeblood for doing righteousness.

The paradox of a tattoo in the form of a Christian inscription "Save and Preserve" lies in the fact that the Orthodox Church itself has a negative attitude towards any wearable drawings, since it is considered unacceptable to "spoil" the body created by the Almighty with tattoos. And in order to protect themselves from the evil eye and disease, the clergy urge to wear an ordinary pectoral cross, on which this inscription is engraved.

There are a large number of options for a tattoo with the words "Save and Preserve". Such a sketch of a tattoo is purely masculine, it can be performed in a pure version, or supplemented with various elements:

• hands folded in prayer.

Basically, the inscription is made in Russian. However, there are sketches in Latin, in English and in Old Church Slavonic. In each language, the inscription looks beautiful in its own way. Now tattoos for men in Latin are becoming more and more popular.

The place where the tattoo will be placed should also be chosen wisely. Think about whether you want others to immediately notice your tattoo, or if it is important for you to hide it from prying eyes. And also consider whether it is permissible in your field of work for body drawings to be visible, or they still need to be hidden. Therefore, carefully consider the part of the body on which you want to place the cherished inscription.
