Cagtegory - Heraldry
Heraldry tattoos are deeply rooted in historical and cultural symbolism, representing family heritage, achievements, or societal status. Originating in medieval Europe, heraldry was a system of identification in battles and tournaments, with elaborate designs to distinguish knights. These tattoos often feature shields, crests, helmets, animals, and other elements from a family's coat of arms or personal emblems. Each component of a heraldic tattoo holds a specific meaning, such as courage (lion), loyalty (dog), or wisdom (owl). People choose heraldry tattoos to honor their ancestry, showcase pride in their cultural heritage, or embody the values and virtues associated with their personal or family crest.
