Getting a slot machine tattoo is one of the most unique types of body art and is not for everyone. Intense artistry is required to create a slot machine tattoo, so it is important to seek out a skilled professional. You will want to find an artist with a lot of experience, as these tattoos are not popular. Here are some design ideas:
Minimalistic slot machine tattoo
If you have an affinity for the gambling industry, a minimalist slot machine tattoo can be the perfect fit for you. Often a tattoo design of this type is characterized by fine lines and few colors or shading. A minimalist tattoo design can incorporate the most basic symbols or popular patterns. As a bonus, this style challenges artistic creativity. If you’ve always dreamed of becoming a slot machine king, you’re not alone!
There are several types of slots to choose from, but the most popular choice is a mini version of a slot machine on the forearm. Minimalistic slot machine tattoo designs combine the symbols of a jackpot and a slot machine. A simple version of a slot machine may have three red sevens, a jackpot in the shape of a heart, or the word “favorite” inscribed underneath it. Alternatively, a full-sized version of the machine may feature multiple symbols representing different symbols, such as a single line or a cluster of sevens.
Cherry as a symbol of fertility
The fruit of the cherry tree is one of the world’s oldest cultivated trees. It grows naturally in Eastern Europe and Western Asia, but has since been planted in temperate regions around the world. Historically, the cherry was revered not only for its beautiful blossoms, but for its tasty fruit as well. Aside from the fruit itself, the cherry has symbolism for many other things, including fertility, festivity, and merrymaking. In ancient Greek mythology, the pomegranate was considered a ‘fruit of the dead’, since it was said to have originated from the blood of the lover. In the Bible, the pomegranate is associated with the dead, as it features prominently in the myth of Hades.
In many cultures, the cherry represents fertility. Despite their many other symbolic meanings, the fruit is most often associated with love and fertility. Women are especially drawn to cherry tattoos, which often appear on the hips, inner thighs, and groin area. This is perhaps because the deep red color of the cherry is compared to the color of a woman’s lips and kissing. These erotic associations have drawn many women to get cherry tattoos.
Another example is the mid-fifteenth-century mystery-play cycle, N-Town Plays. In one episode, the Virgin and Joseph travel to Bethlehem. As they travel, Mary sees a cherry tree blooming. In response, Joseph tells her that the cherry blossoms because he made her pregnant. The cherry tree then miraculously bows down to offer its fruits to the couple. Then, she gathered them while Joseph waited around.
The cherry blossom is also a symbol of springtime in many cultures, including Japan. The cherry blossoms in Japan represent spring, and the fruit is often associated with happiness and fertility. In ancient Chinese myth, the cherry is associated with immortality, and the Chinese believed that the fruit of the cherry tree was the source of a mysterious elixir. Likewise, in Chinese myth, the fruit is associated with the magical Phoenix.
In modern popular culture, the cherry has also become a symbol of sex. Similarly, visual representations of the cherry have sexual connotations. For example, the video of Beyonce’s song ‘Blow’ has the singer writhing on all fours while glowing pink neon lights behind the word ‘Cherry.’ And ‘Cherry’ Skittles are a popular erotic treat. In Ibiza, the Pacha nightclub bears the symbol of two ripe Pop-art cherries.
The fruit of the cherry is a sweet and sour tree. Its rind is bitter and therefore is not suitable for humans to eat. Birds, however, find the fruit delicious and enjoy it enough to nest in the branches of the tree. Besides, the fruit is a symbol of fertility for humans and the planet. If you have a child, why not celebrate this symbol by planting a cherry tree in your garden?
Name of a loved one as a winning stop
A slot machine tattoo can have many different meanings, but at its heart, a symbol of love is a great way to remember a loved one. It can represent a jackpot or show the name of a loved one as a winning stop. You can also get a slot machine tattoo depicting your love life, such as when you first met your partner or when you had your first child. It can also show a leap of love.
