The meaning of the plague doctor tattoo relates to the Black plague of Italy in the 16th century. The masks worn by the Italian physicians back in 13 48 was a horrific depiction of the way they saw the world at that time. Their medieval masks were full of spices, herbs and dried flowers as they were stuffed with powders, herbs and leaves to battle the imaginary fear that you might catch the plague from the air. The physicians thought that the dead would be eaten up by other wild animals so that they would not get contaminated. It was a time when real doctors were not in great demand and this became a popular profession for those in the tattoo business. Some of the designs for this type of mask include the doctor holding a cross, the wings of an eagle and the face of a devil.
Another style of these blackwork plague doctor tattoos are the ones that portray the colors black, green and red. The colors used on this type of mask are usually more dark than the colors used for the traditional Italian doctor’s masks. The type of ink that is used is often a darker black or darker green color. They are then sewn onto colored cloth, leather or a soft fabric like cotton.
You must keep in mind that the location of the tattoo really does make a difference to its look. The location of the tattoo can make a difference to the level of pain that one feels. The location of the tattoo will also depend on how visible it is. Placement of a plague doctor tattoo on your arm would be extremely visible to others around you unless of course you choose to have a more private placement. Placement of the tattoo on your leg would be less visible and therefore more painful if your leg is exposed to the public.
In the old days, the most popular form of these plague doctor tattoos were those that depicted birds. There were a number of birds that were used as plague doctors. These birds were either real, painted or plastic painted birds. These birds masks used various colors and patterns. Some of these patterns and colors included eagles, swallows, crows, owls and bats.
Some of these birds represented death and the darkness of the world while other birds symbolized life and light. There were also a variety of other designs that were used to represent the other traits of the plague doctors. For example, there were cross bird masks that had a cross upon the bird’s mask as well as the name of the doctor along with some sort of message. Some of these masks had teeth. Some of these masks had features that looked like the grim reaper or what some people felt was a depiction of a frightening situation.
