Maybe it seems unusual as a tattoo at first, but the lantern tattoo is a very common design in the tattoo world. It has this amazing vintage look which is very attractive to look at and it can be combined with other elements to look even more beautiful. The symbolism connected to the lantern is very obvious. Inside of it, there is a light and for a very long period, it was the only lighting source that people used. It has several meanings that can be easily connected with any person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It has a protective enclosure which guards the candle or oil to not burn out quickly. You may already associate a particular symbolism by reading only this, but let’s explain its meanings separately and why you should consider it as a tattoo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before electricity, the lantern was the only source of light in people\u2019s homes. Many tattoos artists say that people who ink this tattoo fought with darkness. They had a personal experience that is related to the lantern viewed as a shield that safely keeps their inner flame. In some meditations, the whole focus is placed on that flame that we keep in our hearts and which we need to spread throughout the universe. From here, we can define the lantern as a light in the dark, good over evil or as a light within. There are lantern tattoos combined with vintage orders on which there is a saying or a prayer connected with the person who has it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Besides being a light in the dark, the lantern is also connected with knowledge and understanding. The longer the flame lasts, the bigger the knowledge. Knowledge is something that must be repeated to master the learned and only then we can get enlightenment. As for understanding, the lantern is related to care. If we do not care about it, whether there is enough oil or how long the candle will last, it can go out. This is again related to the human inner flame. We must constantly take care of the internal flame because if we act irresponsible about it, we will end up in darkness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It also represents hope. There are amazing lantern tattoos with this meaning which are often decorated with beautiful flowers, stars, and hearts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are different types, and each of them has its meaning. The famous Jack O Lantern, the amazing Victorian style lanterns carved with flowers, mostly inked by women, the Japanese\/Chinese lantern tattoo, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
