Deciding on which Lock and Keys tattoo you should get
There are many different kinds of tattoos nowadays and there are even some which have evolved over time. No matter what the new types of tattoos are, what stays with a person is a tattoo that has the most meaning to them. Which is why before you decide on a tattoo you should first learn what it is about and what the various meanings that the tattoo holds.
The meaning of the Lock and Keys tattoo design
Lock and key tattoo designs hold deep and interesting meanings. They are more often than not perceived to hold mysterious, valuable, serious and even funny meanings. A lot of times also the lock and key tattoos are accounted for holding something dear to the bearer of tattoos or a promise that is being kept.
Contrary to the lock image, these tattoo designs can also represent freedom from a bond or a trap which the wearer has previously suffered. They can also be mysterious when the tattoo is visible since whenever someone sees it they will wonder what is there that you are keeping locked or have locked away.
Basically the lock and key tattoos are mainly there to represent something in your life wherein you felt that you didn’t have the freedom that you have always wanted. When you want to highlight the fact that there was a dark moment in your life that you felt trapped but have survived it then the lock with the key is the best combination to go with.
There are many variations of the key and lock tattoos and there are even different designs for men and women. This is why it would help more if you are aware of the differences and which one fits you best.
If you are a guy and you want a lock and key tattoo then you should go with a simple and rather minimal designed lock. Lesser decorations and more sheer finish would be suitable. Then you can go all out with the design of the key. You can go with how much elaborate you would want it to be.
If you are a girl who wants a lock and key tattoo then almost the same principle applies with the male. However instead of the simple and minimalist approach on the design, you can go for a Victorian era style lock. It’s not too flashy but it isn’t too boring either. It is just enough to distinguish your key from the ones for guys. Go elaborate with the key design as well.
For couples, the perfect matching tattoo would be the mysterious key and locks. One wears the lock and one wears the key tattoo. It would depend if you both would want the tattoo to be seen or to be hidden. What you should decide on is the design since you would want the key and lock to match so that theirs will know you are a pair and can only be locked or unlocked when you are together. There are a lot of hidden and deep meanings that a couple’s lock and key tattoo could convey. You may want to tell the world that somebody holds the key to your heart or you want the public to know that your love is already locked on to someone. Of course the meaning would highly depend on where you will place the tattoos and if you keep them visible or not.
Funny Lock and Keys tattoo designs
Other than the emotional meanings of the lock and key tattoo designs there are also funny lock and key designs. Don’t you think this is possible? It is actually and you can find a lot of risky yet clever looking designs for the lock and key. They can be placed in funny positions on the body such as on your hips just above your low rise jeans as well as tattoos on the lower back. A lot of these funny designs are also in trend these days because of how unique they look. You can even design the lock as the top part of your pants holding it in lock with the keyhole to signify looking for someone who can hold the key. Your possible pair would be the one wearing the key to complete the image.
Making your Lock and Keys tattoo perfect
To make your lock and key tattoo interesting to look at you will need to choose good colors and a good place where you will be putting it. For the colors you can choose from silver, gray, gold, blue or even black. It depends on your taste as well as the color that you would like it to be. You can even ask the tattoo artist which color suits the design you have chosen if you are unsure.
Choosing the location of the tattoo is also important. You would want it to be somewhere that you can always find it. Of course you want to be reminded of what the tattoo means so it should be somewhere you feel convenient to look at. However you can also make your lock and key tattoo hidden from the view of others.
