On the goods of any supermarket, you can find a barcode, which is a set of vertical strips of different length and width, often with numbers below. It encodes a set of information that characterizes the subject by different parameters, it is read by a special scanner.
More recently, the popularity of tattoo barcode, both among men and women. As a rule, it is stuffed on the neck, just below it, and also on the hands. It is noteworthy that the true meaning of this tattoo is known only to its owner.
Tattoo in the form of a barcode on the neck
After the release of the movie "On the Game", where the main character was filled with the image on the neck (from the side), the bar code began to be ordered in tattoo parlors more and more often.
Over time, not the classic black permanent drawings became popular, but also colored tattoos. In addition, the masters perfected the usual barcode - added to it other images and symbols, creating a unique design of the tattoo in a single copy. You can also change the style of the drawing, instead of direct, clear lines, give them a curvature. On many sketches there is a technique of transition, assuming a smooth "flow" of one picture into another. In the case of a bar code, vertical lines turn into drops, the roots of a tree, the interlacing of branches.
Tattoo barcode on the wrist and other parts of the hand
Perhaps, on the wrist tattoos are found most often. This is due to the fact that this area is usually open, and the drawing is always well marked. At the same time, it's easy to hide by wearing long-sleeved clothes, a wristband or a wide bracelet.
It is worth noting that the ability to read the barcode, even if it is a tattoo, suggests its application on the wrist, which is convenient to bring to the scanner.
Other areas on which you can fill the described image - near the elbow, both from the inside and from the outside, the forearm.
What does a bar code tattoo mean?
In most cases, this kind of tattoo is perceived as a simple decoration of the body. The figure looks neat and even exquisite due to the straight lines, it has a small size.
But you can also assign a special value to the tattoo in the form of a barcode:
- Memorable sign. The letters or figures added from below allow to capture on the body an important date (births, weddings, family replenishments), an event, a word that has a personal meaning for the owner of the tattoo (name, vow, life motto, goal).
- Information. Initially, the barcode was intended for encoding information, so many people use such a permanent drawing for similar purposes. In the tattoo, you can encrypt any desired data, albeit in a small amount, which are easily read by an ordinary scanner.
- Belonging to society. Sometimes a deeper meaning is embedded in the bar code on the body, the recognition that all people are equal, because they are representatives of the same species.
- Transience of being. As you know, each product has a shelf life, information about which is often contained in the barcode. The performance of such a tattoo serves as a reminder that human life, unfortunately, is not eternal, and one should cherish every second of it, try not to waste time.
- Protest, challenge to society and government. The barcode has a rebellious meaning. To fill this permanent pattern in such cases means to challenge the modern value system that promotes the "dissolution" of individuality, personality in the same type of biomass, humiliation of a person to the level of a commodity, the subject of trade.
