Joker Tattoos – Don't Be a Fool!
From Shakespeare's work and the common belief it is but clear: the "Fool" was no fool at all. The court jesters, the very characters that inspired the joker tattoos, used to speak the truth no matter what, hiding behind their apparent mask of foolishness. Yet there are not many people, even among those tattooed with jokers, who know the primary significance of the joker.If there are yet some open doors to a mystic interpretation, the joker still stands for unpredicted and unconventional behavior. To get a joker tattoo can become a tricky business.
In a deck of playing cards the joker is the wild card that can mean the difference between winning and losing. In many card games it can take any value, so it is commonly considered a good luck charm. People getting tattooed with card jokers are gamblers or consider the joker a lucky talisman.
The mystic connotation of the joker relates to the Tarot card representing the Fool – the innocence of the joker rather than his foolishness. Tattoos with this meaning are rare though. The deck of cards meaning of the joker is the more common tattoo design. Tattoos with joker designs speak about people who don't play by the rules, people who cannot be fooled because they already know that things are not always what they seem. A tattooed image of the joker is a statement of free will and free spirit. Such a tattoo can come in different styles – from traditional jokers to tribal ones, from Celtic tattoos to futuristic ones.
The "evil" joker is a model inspired from the Batman comics where the Joker is a villain, Batman's enemy. So what will it be, what is your statement? Are you a good joker or one of the bad jokers? No matter what you decide, there are plenty of resources online where you can find the perfect or you can make a special request to some tattooers for a matchless tattoo to translate your thoughts exactly.
