Devil Tattoos

In fact, many people get Devil tattoos to show their ties with the pagan worship of both modern and ancient times. These tattoos often depict the Devil in one of his earliest artistic incarnations. During medieval times, the Devil was pictured as cloven hoofed, with horns, a goatee and forked tail. Another reason a person would get such a tattoo is simple: rebellion. The Devil is a symbol of chaos and an uncontrolled spirit.

In the 50’s, the Devil was often portrayed in artwork as a charismatic figure, talented in the art of manipulation; he often causes people to commit the gravest of sins by using his charms alone. Since then, many people have created Devil tattoos to portray this kitschy imagery.

An extension of this variety of artwork is often seen with a female Devil. She is usually seen in the pin-up style, and is often displayed alongside an angel figure to show the contrast of good and evil.
