#CLASSIC SNAKE TATTOO FULL#

Don’t Tread on Me TattoosĬhances are you’ve seen the yellow Gadsden flag with a black snake on it, especially recently when it’s been questionably waved about during a period of political, social, and racial unrest in the USA. The ouroboros represented the transmigration of the soul and symbolized the human experience extending beyond the physical world into the next plane.

First appearing in ancient Egyptian iconography, the image of a snake (or dragon) eating its own tail made its way into the Western traditions via Greece, and eventually became a key image and concept in Alchemy.

The ouroboros is an interesting design that symbolizes infinity, regeneration and the interconnected nature of the universe. The hero Perseus (son of Zeus) eventually got around her defences with some crafty shield work and beheaded Medusa, then used her vision to turn Atlas of Mauretania into stone for previously refusing him hospitality. Her gaze that not only disgusted, but also mesmerized any onlooker who regarded her, turning them to stone (this would be great on public transport). Medusa was once betrothed to Poseidon, but after forgetting her vows, she was dealt the brutal punishment of having a venomous snake nest instead of hair. From realistic snake tattoo to more classical Greco-Roman style body art, the evil Gorgon sister can be portrayed in many interesting styles. I really enjoy how Medusa snake tattoos can slither in different directions.
