Devil tattoos can be an actual
picture of the presumed medieval representation that are represented by a horn beast with a sharp goatee and a forked tail or than can have symbolism that links them to pagan worship of both ancient and modern times. Remember a pagan is not a Satanist, but one who does not participate in
Christian service or practice. To many times a pagan symbol such as a devil tattoo or a
Celtic tattoo or
Deemed evil because of the word pagan being confused with Satan.
Devil tattoos are
tattoos of
satan or one of his minions and have come under a lot of fire recently from fundamentalist Christians and Christian groups that do not have a clear understanding of the meaning of the tattoos. Articles are appearing on the web that denounce
Devil tattoos and make outrageous claims that the devil tattoo is the mark of Satan and you advocate his following by having his image on your body. They are clearly ignorant of the tradition of body art and the decisions made by the body art enthusiast. The devil tattoo can have many ramifications and meanings, but only a small part of the population of tattooed people use them as a symbol of evil or benevolence.
The true symbol for
Satan is the goat head with horns. This is the satanic representation of the
Dark lord. The accusation that a picture of a being with horns is a direct sign of Satan represented in a devil tattoo is ludicrous. Even Dirt Devil vacuums have a fork tail instead of a power cord.
