Biker tattoos are unique, particularly appreciated by a certain group of people, known precisely as “bikers”. Beyond the obviousness of its appearance, they have particular symbolic meanings that we will know below.
But what do these designs symbolize or represent? The tattoos usually worn by bikers are often confused with those of gang members in prisons because they are so similar in terms of drawings and meaning. They often represent skulls, llamas, and skeletons.
Therefore, it is not strange that most people think of these drawings and interpret them with a negative connotation, linking them to a dark and violent world. The biker group known as the Angels of Hell sports skull tattoos, a symbol usually linked to death, which is why many people think they have a negative meaning and feel scared. But these tattoos can have a very different meaning for those who wear them. They can be used to symbolize their total commitment to the motorcycle lifestyle, but also to highlight the honor, character, courage and bravery that these gangs have for their members.
There is no denying a reality as there are those who make these designs to demonstrate that they belong to a certain gang. The tattoo is a symbol of brotherhood and therefore it is very common that most of the new gang members get one of these tattoos as a rite of passage. In addition, for bikers, the road is a symbol of liberation and free spirit, so these tattoos can also be a message to the outside world to demonstrate the importance of these values in their lives. They are also sometimes used to commemorate the death of a biker. This particular type of tattoo is usually represented by the band emblem and the name of the deceased partner.
The most tattooed areas of the body in this style are usually the back, arms, neck, chest or wrist. It is frequent to see bikers with large and muscular arms that adorn them with a good number of them. And also those who have a fairly developed neck often use it as a canvas for their tattoos. Bikers often choose areas of the body that are easy to see because they want to display them with pride. However, it is important that they look good, so if you have small arms it is preferable to avoid a tattoo in this area and choose a less visible one such as chest or back.
