Tree and tattoo

The tattoo of tree is the symbol of life. With its roots sinking profoundly into the ground, and its branches rising towards the sky, the tree is often used by Niko the tattooer as a link between the Earth and the Sky, that is between the men and the gods.

The sap can be likened to the blood of the men and to the ink of tattoo. We always speak about the “head” and about the ” foot” of the tree “.

It gathers all the elements (water, air, fire), in this that its roots are pushed in the ground, and intended to draw some water (which shows itself in the sap); its) branches rise in the sky; the wood is the fuel par excellence.

Tree
Tattoo symbol

We often find it in the drawings of tattoos as symbol of life in perpetual evolution, the tree connects 3 levels of the cosmos: the underground passage by its roots, the earth by its trunk, the heights by its superior branches and the sky by its top. The reptiles crawl between its roots, birds fly in his its branches: it connects the chthonian world and the ouranian world. All the elements are combined: the water with its sap, the earth becomes integrated into its body by its roots, the air feeds its leaves and the fire springs from its friction. The tree is thus the symbol of the tattoo of relationships between the sky and the earth. Its has a central character. It also evokes all the symbolism of the verticality. It is the upward way by which the creation of the tattooer passes of the visible in the invisible. Gods, spirits, souls, sovereigns and mediators borrow this path between heaven and earth. The tree of Kien-Mou in China, raised in the center of the world, has no shade. It has 9 branches and 9 roots by which it affects 9 heavens and 9 sources.
