Devil Tattos

It’s bad enough that people get tattoos.  The body wasn’t meant to be a platform for graffiti.  Then there are devil tattoos that show people have gone to the extreme.  Don’t worry, these don’t have to be evil.

The Devil is the ultimate evil.  It’s a concept common to many of the west’s religions.  Many people don’t know that even the Muslim faith has its own version of the Devil.  The devil is known by other names such as Beelzebub and Satan. Strictly speaking these are names for individual demons.  Not all of them are bad.  They’re each often depicted in tattoos.

This is the story of the Christian devil.  Lucifer was an Archangel second only to God in all the universe.  All angels were considered equal but Lucifer was considered the best among equals.  Lucifer began to believe he was greater than God.  He wanted to rule over all of creation.  He formed a group of angels loyal to him and revolted against God.  God, Michael, and the other Archangels and Angels still loyal to God defeated Lucifer and his forces.  Lucifer and all those who remained loyal to him were cast down from heaven.  This myth is a popular subject for devil tattoos.

Devil Tattoos

Devil tattoos derive their name from old English.  More specifically it’s the word devil.  The old English word was deofol, which itself came from the Latin word the diabolus.  That came from the Greek diabolos.  The word means to slander across or to hurl slander.  Many other English words related to hell or the devil derive from that – such as diabolic.  Outside of English the word devil comes from words meaning angel.  But the devil is no angel.    This gives a lot more fodder for Devil tattoos.

Devil tattoos have specific meanings.  Someone who wears them is generally a little evil, or maybe even a lot evil.  There could also be lewd behavior and mischief .  It’s not necessarily the mark of a criminal.  Generally it takes a certain kind of person to wear one.

Sometimes devil tattoos can carry a negative image.  Sometimes people see them as a devil mark.  In other words, someone with such a tattoo is a servant of the devil.  That’s not the case.
