Casino Tattoo Trends – Popular Tattoos for Casino Players

Anyone with a desire to educate themselves and use knowledge to move forward and evolve, will be aware of the fact that the human skin is the largest organ of the human body. Instances of body-art can be traced back to the indigenous Aboriginals and Māori civilisations. Therefore, it is a previously used canvas that is open and willing to have upon it, drawn, painted or even merely marked with an independent mind, happy to express and delighted to expose, not only one’s skin, but deep-rooted beliefs or results of over-indulgences, crazy nights and an acknowledgment that one is not alone.

Gambling and tattoos go together like bullets and guns, so it is nowhere near shocking to discover that there exists a myriad of body ink that is primarily linked to the art of the gamble and the roulette table. Those who occupy the mind of the casino-inclined, generally choose specific representations of the gambling variety, to express their passion and worship at the altar of this particular way of life.

Below is a brief and wholly generalised list of the preferred and mostly popular tattoos that are stamped on the skin of the dedicated gambler. Countless though the variations may be, and are, these remain stalwarts of go-to ink jobs. We are what we are, after all. I’ll bet on it.

Lady Luck

This idea, and ultimately tattoo, was borne from ancient mythology. The word, ‘fortune’, is derived from the Romans and their goddess Fortuna. Similarly, the Greeks had Tyche and her Wheel of Fortune. These important deities could and did represent fortunes, both great and terrible. Massive battle losses, as well as famine and floods were attributed to these particular beliefs. The corresponding tattoo can be anything this lady desires. It can range from classical mythology to modern, abstract interpretations.

The Ace of Spades

The mythology associated with the origins of the power behind the Ace of Spades is one not to be delved into here. Suffice to say, the history of this powerful card was considered a harbinger of death, misfortune and bad luck in certain European countries. Asexual communities have adopted this symbol as their representation. Women seem to gravitate towards any representation of this, owing to its elusiveness, in an artistic sense. Beyond all the chatter, a tattoo of the Ace of Spades is meant to signify something, although that something remains a bit of a mystery.

The Joker

That raspy-voiced, and detrimentally wicked prophet of doom has been a long-standing staple of the gambling community. There is an inherent sexual appeal and a fascinated curiosity attached to this seductive character, so much so, that many a lady has opted to have her skin inked with the devilish and dangerous image of the Joker. A monumentally destructive force and terribly insane presence, this guy has brought women to the parlour in order to have his face making a satisfyingly decrepit home on their bodies.

Tumbling Dice

Take the tumble and live with the result. The Rolling Stones have sung about it, and many a life has been destroyed or championed by this simple but life-altering game of pure nerve and blind luck. These traits, that are truly incorrigible, tend to attract and seduce, so much so that an inking of the dice is a charm that represents luck and riches. Roll and let’s see where we’re at.

The Classic Poker Hand

This devil exists. It has the ability to breathe upon and unleash disaster or joy, depending on the feast or famine, before you. This potential display of victory has oft been a go-to tattoo for many a lady, as it represents good luck and a path to riches. Those dreams of fortitude in both financial and psychological matters, will be achieved through these rudimentary tattoos.

The Eight Ball

There exists within the human psyche a wonderment of dancing with the unknown and its terrible gowns, masks and terrifying shadows. There exists also a desire to dive into the blackness, a rudimentary need to not know what the next breath will bring. It is due to these significant facts that we as a species are more than willing to dive into the unknown. Hence the Eight Ball. And hence, women, having bigger balls than men, willing to risk, attempt and enjoy that what we never can know. Therefore, their tattoos will reflect that courage and willingness to walk into the unknown.

There are many more instances of people, particularly women, who are willing to suffer the needle in order to express their love and appreciation of that which brings them joy and happiness. Throughout this wonderful world exist canvases that have been tattooed into masterpieces of individual thoughts, beliefs and desires. The casino lady, whose blood runs deep with the love of taking a chance, has her skin reflecting that same thing. Skin-art should never be the choice and world of the liberal. This is self-expression and, by definition should be for all.
