Everyone has probably heard of a mermaid. Be it in the fairy tale of Hans Christian Andersen, in the Disney Film Arielle or in another fantasy book or movie. The myth around the mermaids was created by seafarers who have supposedly seen sunny women on cliffs and rocks.

Nix & Sirens

Nix and sirens are often equated with mermaids today, but had originally a different, very negative meaning. So sirens were in Greek mythology as death demons, which wanted to lure the seafarers through their vocals and their erotic stimuli in the crazy and so into ruin. Nix also stood for danger and death and had the goal of pulling people on the seabed. In this context, the mermaid tattoo can also mean the following:

• Danger
• Threat
• Death
• Mischief
• Hoister
• Lying
• Seduction
• Influence

In order to find out the meaning of mermaids, we only need to recall the just mentioned fairy tales. The mermaid is a being that is dissatisfied with her situation and wants to be redeemed by this. To be happy, she is looking for the true love. Mermaid, on the other hand, are seductive water systems that can also have a threatening charisma. Often, in stories sailors from the siren singing are led to the mistake, so that their ship is running on ground.

Although it says in most, fairy tales and films also male mermaids, the so-called seamen, the motive of the mermaid is also represented at the tattoos more often. Since there is the mermaids in a variety of colors, your tattoo can also have a colorful design.

The upper body of mermaid designs is often left naked in men tattoos. However, designs are also possible where the upper body is skilfully covered with the hair or shell bikini. Likewise, mermaids tattoos can be supplemented with small fishing, waves, bubbles, shells, anchors and much more.
