One of the interesting tattoo designs that you can come up with is
one featuring the umbrella. It is one design element that the whole
world is familiar with. The umbrella is the symbol for protection
against the elements of nature like rain and sunshine. The word umbrella
is also used to depict other forms of protection in terms of insurance
and other benefits. This tattoo is popular with both the genders and has
a lot of interesting design possibilities.
Since the umbrella is
one thing that travels with us and also used in locations like the beach
or the poolside as something permanent, it comes in many colors, sizes
and shapes. You will find that with the wide variety of shapes, hues and
sizes there is a huge array of designs that you can pick from.
In
nature when the rains are pouring down the umbrella is the first thing
we reach out to help protect us, thereby an umbrella is also seen
symbolically something that protects us. Many women in the past use to
carry decorative umbrellas also called parasols that used to protect
their delicate skin from the wrath of the sun. In places like England
where rain is a constant then umbrella is something that both men and
women are never without. It is almost like an accessory to the rest of
their attire.
When
it comes to the tattoo design featuring umbrellas it ranges from the
colorful and picturesque to the downright fanciful. The umbrella can be
shown with the element of nature like hail, sunshine and rains that it
protects us from. But it can also be shown with geishas, fairies,
pixies, stars, birds and other elements. Some like to show the umbrella
with an eye. Though really simple the umbrella design can be made
colorful and lovely by playing around with hues and other added elements
Some
show the umbrella in a fanciful way as being a shield against many
things. Some might prefer to show the beach umbrella bringing back
memories of the beach, the sun, the sea and the sands. We can also take a
page from the past and show the umbrella as ornate and decorated when
it was part of elaborate ceremonies as it was carried to protect the
deity or the royals when they were part of the procession.
As far
as the symbolism of this tattoo design is concerned it simply means
cover and protection, shade from the rays of the sun, sheltering from
harm, travelling, wealth and also sometimes a regal lineage.
With
umbrella design you can go wild by using your imagination. You can go
with realistic elements or go completely fanciful and show things that
are only part of the imaginary world. Or if you want to go with a
emotional theme you can show the protection that a parent or parents
afford to a child with the help of a simple umbrella. Or you can kindle
the inspiration of a different world by showing umbrellas that are not
run of the mill. Or you can have a quotation or a name put of the
umbrella design to show your dedication to this maxim or the person
whose name you have inscribed. Some even use the umbrella as a means of
showing family solidarity.
As
with any tattoo do give due consideration to the expense, the time
spent and the future consequences elements of getting a tattoo. If you
are sure and fully committed and convinced on all these counts, then it
is a matter of finalizing the design and the artist you will work with.
