 Anarchy Tattoo Meanings
- The usual symbol for anarchy is a stylized "A" within a
letter "O". The "A" stands for anarchy and the "O" stands for order. Together they stand for "Anarchy is Order".
As a tattoo symbol, the anarchy symbol has been very popular with
groups whose members have considered themselves as being on the
fringes of accepted society, either because of their belief systems
or their lifestyle. The anarchy symbol has at various times been
embraced by punks, skin-heads and the gay community. It has also
been used to protest globalism - as in global-capitalism or
industrialization, global-warming and been embraced by environmental
activists. Political anarchists prized the rights of the individual and
minorities over the potential tyranny of the majority.

The Anarchy
symbols first came into use over one hundred and fifty years ago and
was used to protest oppressive governmental regimes, monarchies and
states that outlawed unions. Other symbols of anarchy have been the
extensive use of the colour black, as used in black flags, black
crosses and black cats; a symbol of a raised clenched fist, and a
number of variations on the Jolly Roger or Skull and Crossed Bones,
the chosen flag of pirates who sailed for no nation but themselves. |
