Making a tattoo successfully means thinking through the image, plot, meaning and deciding on the location of the image. Tattoos with demonic images can also have different meanings, execution styles and sizes.

Meaning

Since demons are associated with different cultures and historical eras, the meaning of their image varies:

• Christianity - considers demons as fallen angels, and a person wearing such a tattoo can be associated with dark forces.
• Japan - Japanese culture is replete with various demonic images that inspire fear and are largely associated with the embodiment of nature.
• Ancient Egypt - the demons of Egyptian culture are characterized by almost deification. They have always been associated with higher forces and power.
• Ancient Greece - The Greeks believed that demons determine a person’s destiny, and wearing their image on oneself means attracting good luck.

Nowadays demons are most often associated with power and otherworldly abilities.

Subjects and composition options

Sometimes religious themes are embodied in tattoos, sometimes individual images with symbolic or personal meaning are applied.

Frequent subjects are:

• Gargoyles are a demonic mythological creature that acts as intermediaries between the human world and the other world.
• Balthazar is the embodiment of greed, cunning and cunning.
• Beelzebub is the lord of the flies. The personification of gluttony and gluttony.
• Lilith is Adam's first wife who turned into a demon killing children.
• Azrael is the angel of death (one of the four archangels), who helps ordinary mortals move to another world.
• Succubi are demons who personify lust.
• Tengu are creatures from Japanese mythology who despise arrogance, vanity and help those people they consider worthy.

Styles and combinations with other looks

Demons are most often depicted in black and white outline drawings. Less often - in the form of colored tattoos (for example, Japanese demons are done in color: oni, tengu).

Demon tattoos look best in volume, so the most common style is 3D tattoos with clear outlines.

Twins are often depicted - an angel and a demon, personifying the eternal confrontation between good and evil, as well as the fragile balance between sins and innocence within a person.

Often among the popular sketches in demonic themes you can find a goat skull. It is often associated with evil, cunning, deceit and sins.

Where to get a demon tattoo

The image allows you to scale the image as you wish, but it is better to give the tattoo more space. Compositions are especially demanding in terms of space - tattoo placement on the shoulders , chest, back and legs is suitable.

Among demonic tattoos, small sizes are not common; in small sizes you can depict a gargoyle or a goat skull.

Tattoos with demons are not only for men; many designs are also suitable for girls. Succubi are especially common.

Demons vary greatly across cultures, so there are many variations for tattoos. But the common feature of all images is a reflection of darkness, evil, dark temptations and sins.
