Salamander
A popular image is the salamander. Tattoos with a picture of this amphibian can often be found in different people. The salamander is portrayed in different versions and styles. The most common amphibian is on fire, and here's why:
- in German mythology, the salamander is the spirit of fire;
- according to Greek traditions, it does not burn in fire;
- but in Christianity this animal is considered the messenger of hell.
Value
So what does the salamander depicted on the body mean? A tattoo with this creature has almost the same meaning as a phoenix tattoo. Only the phoenix, reborn from the ashes, symbolizes the person’s ability to recover from the difficult trials of fate, but the salamander means that he can easily withstand all life's difficulties. After all, this amphibian not only does not burn in the fire, but can even live in it.
Who should use a tattoo?
In the case of a passionate, keen nature, such a tattoo will emphasize personal qualities and tell others about them.
Those born under the "fiery" sign of the zodiac will also need the Salamander tattoo. The tattoo, the photo of which is presented in the article, will protect its owner and will become a kind of mascot. The image of the salamander is especially suitable for Sagittarius. After all, this animal is considered the patron saint of this sign.
Courage and courage
I must say that the salamanders are poisonous, poison is released from their parotid glands when they feel danger. Because of this, in the Middle Ages it was believed that what the salamander touches becomes poisonous and spoiled. They also believed that this is a small dragon that can grow into a huge fire-breathing monster. It was believed that a mysterious creature could destroy entire nations.
Therefore, courage and courage, the ability to stand up for oneself, strength of mind and will - all this also means a salamander. Tattoo will suit men brave, confident in themselves and their abilities. Naturally, in the male version, the image of the salamander should be made more formidable, intimidating, spewing flame or passing through it. Particularly successful is the image of the salamander on the arm, in the bicep area, made in the technique of realism.
What else can the Salamander tattoo mean?
Oddly enough, in Christianity there was a rather ambiguous attitude towards this creature. At one time, the salamander was considered the messenger of hell, at others it was considered a symbol of chastity and true faith. The second symbolic meaning was born from the fact that the salamander was considered asexual beings. And since we know that in the Middle Ages Christianity preached the renunciation of everything carnal, the salamander became a kind of symbol of a true believer.

The tattoo (the photo on the shoulder blade shows it in all its glory) will look especially attractive in this place. Although you can stuff such a tattoo on the arm, shoulder, stomach and other parts of the body. You can arrange it both in black and white, and in color.
