To many, the Devil — or Satan — is a direct symbol of evil and wickedness. But it is not understood that only a small number of people get Devil tattoos to symbolize evil.
In fact, many people get Devil tattoos to show their ties with the pagan worship of both modern and ancient times. These tattoos often depict the Devil in one of his earliest artistic incarnations. During medieval times, the Devil was pictured as cloven hoofed, with horns, a goatee and forked tail. Another reason a person would get such a tattoo is simple: rebellion. The Devil is a symbol of chaos and an uncontrolled spirit.
