A tattoo depicting a ballerina is most popular in Western countries. Despite the fact that the symbol itself is less than 100 years old (which is relatively young for symbolism), many people adorn their bodies with a pattern of a graceful dancer.

Symbol meaning

The complexity of the profession and the specifics of work in the theater determine the meaning of the symbol "ballerina". A light, gentle, “fluttering” ballerina across the stage is what the viewer sees.
Daily workouts, sprains, injuries and behind-the-scenes intrigues are what remain outside the scene.
The tattoo shows belonging to the world of dance art, culture. The main meaning of the symbol: readiness for hard, exhausting work for the sake of art.
Such a tattoo is suitable for a person with a firm, unbending character. A person who does not succumb to intrigues and "under the carpet" struggle. A person who firmly decided to go towards his goal, improving day by day.
Also, the "ballerina" is a symbol of grace, fragility and grace.

A tattoo depicting a ballerina can be made as a separate small drawing. For such a tattoo, it is better to choose small areas of the body. For example, the wrist, feet or shin of the legs.
If you decide on a large tattoo, you should not limit your imagination. Together with an experienced master, you will be able to come up with a unique tattoo sketch that will reflect the essence of the meaning that you put in.

The art of ballet originated in Western Europe in the 16th century. Initially, ballets were staged at royal theaters and at the courts of wealthy aristocrats. Since the 19th century ballet acquired the status of an independent art and took pride of place in the productions of drama theaters.

Interesting. It is no secret that the leading role in ballet is occupied by female images. The beauty, fragility and gracefulness of ballerinas inspired many male artists, among whom the most famous French painter Edgar Degas, who created a whole series of canvases dedicated to ballerinas.

Ballerina tattoo meanings

For many modern people, the ballerina is a symbol of femininity and grace. But, watching the smooth, perfected movements of the dancer, not everyone thinks about how much daily effort the ballerina took in order to achieve the desired result.

Ballerina tattoo options

In the image of a ballerina, an important role is played by the pose of the dancer, her costume and the color scheme of the picture. The tattoo can be made in the form of a contour or be a three-dimensional image, reminiscent of a painting by Edgar Degas. The most common sketches are:

1. Spinning ballerina. To express the idea of ​​rotation, drawings of ribbons flying in a circle, birds, flowers are used. In such drawings, it is as if a moment of a dance that lasts in time is fixed, the image seems to say Stop, moment, you are beautiful! Such tattoos are made by romantics, people who admire natural beauty, those who can watch the sunset for hours or watch the play of sea waves.
2. Ballerina in a jump. Such a tattoo symbolizes lightness, romance, subtlety. The drawing shows a dancer who, as it were, soared above the ground, overcame the gravity of gravity and rushed up. Sometimes thin threads and butterflies are added to the ballerina's arms and legs, which seem to carry the girl to heaven. Such images are applied to themselves by people who believe that art and beauty give us the opportunity to touch the eternal, that which lives outside of time and space.
3. A ballerina standing on the ground. Similar drawings show the dancer at the final moment of the dance, when she freezes in the last graceful movement. The ballerina seems to be telling the viewer: You have touched the beautiful, but everything in this world comes to an end, the performance is over and the beauty of my dance will dissolve into space with the last note fading.

In addition to sketches depicting a beautiful young girl, sometimes there are tattoos that make a mixed impression on the viewer. For example, drawings of fat ballerinas or a ballerina cutting off her leg with a saw. Men sometimes put on the body an image of a ballerina's skeleton, but such tattoos are rather an exception and are quite rare.

Advice. The size of a ballerina tattoo, the sketches of which can be chosen from a fairly large number of options, is determined taking into account the wishes of the future owner of the image, but nevertheless, most often such tattoos are made small. Too large sketches cause a feeling of heaviness and heaviness.

Ballerina tattoos are more common in European tattoo culture. This tattoo is quite new, a hundred years ago such tattoos were practically not done. Ballerina tattoos are often chosen by women, thereby emphasizing their grace, grace and fragility.

Therefore, the meaning of a ballerina tattoo is endowed with the following meanings. Firstly, it is belonging to the world of art and dance, to the world of culture. Secondly, a sign that diligence and perseverance are hidden behind grace.
