 Lucky Tattoo Designs -
One of the principal attributes of tattoos down through the ages -
and in almost all cultures that have practiced body art - has been
the belief that tattoos serve as powerful amulets and talismans of
protection, that they may ward off evil spirits and that they may
act as charms or good luck for the wearer.

The ankh and the
Eye of Hourus were seen as lucky symbols among the
Egyptians.
Borneo's
Dayak women tattoo scorpions and centipedes on their forearms for
luck and to ward off evil spirits.
Many Christians get tattoos of
angels and
crosses for luck, and
pilgrims of many faiths get tattoos to show they have successfully
completed a Holy pilgrimage. See also,
Religious Tattoos. |
 We traditionally think of tattoos of
horseshoes,
four-leaf clovers
and rabbit's feet as lucky. Sailors tattooed
pigs and
roosters on
themselves for good luck - and to keep from drowning - and inscribed
the words "HOLD" and "FAST" on their fingers to insure a good grip
high in a ship's rigging. A
nautical star was a common tattoo for
good luck in being safely guided back to one's home port.
In the many cultures that play games of chance and gamble on the
outcome, tattoo designs of good luck are common. These can include
winning hands at playing cards, or
dice numbers.
