Gun tattoos are designs that are surfacing more and more often these days. But, the bearers of gun tattoos, especially celebrities, are often the target for criticism. Let’s face facts. Guns are a subkect that many people agree to disagree on. They have even become taboo in many different parts of society. And that’s not surprising considering the fact that a lot of people are killed by hand guns each and evey day.
So, before you head out and get a gun tattoo you should keep in mind the fact that a lot of people will be offended by it or even judge you for it. If this still doesn’t dissuade you from getting a gun tattoo inked on your skin then take a look at the picture and get a rough idea what gun tattoos look like. This tattoo is your run of the mill six shooter, used by cowboys both on the big screen and off. It’s a lot less offensive then some of the 9mm or .45 caliber gun tattoos that I have seen recently. In fact, I think it represents more of a nostalgia for the old west then a nod to violence.
Here we have a guy with one of those gun tattoos. He’s got a revolver and a nautical star just off to the side of his left hip. But I am not at all certain he meant this to have the meaning of a nautical start and a gun. The first thing that comes to my mind is that of just a star and a gun. Like the star of a lawman. As in, I’m the boss here so don’t do anything wrong or I’m going to straighten things out. At least that what it says to me.
But what it says to me doesn’t hardly matter. What matters is what it says to the man who is wearing the tattoo. Regardless of what the meaning behind this one is, as far as gun tattoos goes, it is an interesting one just the same. The gun itself is very cool with its spider web type of handle including a skull and cross bones and its detail on the rest of the weapon is nice too. If I were to get one of these gun tattoos this might be one that I would consider because I like it a lot. It’s cool man. |
