The meaning of pin and hairpin tattoos. Pin Tattoo in which style to choose

Good afternoon, readers of the Desire blog. Today I continue the topic of simple amulets and talismans against the evil eye, damage and misfortune, which are easy to make yourself. And we will talk about the pin - the most controversial symbol of all known.

Why controversial? Because pins are used equally in amulets for protection and in rituals for cursing. This is due to their dual structure. A pin, no matter what type it is, has one end sharp and the other blunt. And as one fictional character from a non-existent book once said:

“It is not enough just to know which side to grip the sword with. It’s important to understand which end to stick it into the enemy.”

In skillful hands, a pin can become an excellent protective amulet or home talisman, and in even more skillful hands, a means of targeting for damage and all sorts of other nasty things. But let's not talk about the bad.
Let's talk about how to use a pin - a talisman as an amulet for protection. Roughly speaking, there are two types of pins: safety pins, the ones we are used to, having a fastener on one side; and ordinary, essentially the same needles, only with a cap.

Due to their similarity with needles, pins automatically inherit the symbolism of the latter, as well as nails, athames (ritual daggers) and everything that is similar to them in shape and composition (iron). In order to protect yourself from an unkind look or tongue, pins are ideal as the most convenient option for wearing on clothes .

Safety pins as passive protection

Wear a safety pin on the inside of your clothes and no “evil eye” will stick to you. Now it is advised to hook the pin with the point down, that is, in the direction away from yourself, onto others. So that bad energy comes across the sharp protection of this iron amulet. As you know, “iron” is considered a heavenly element and repels all “evil spirits,” including evil energy. It is also a conductor for energy. The sharp end of a pin acts as an active barrier to everything bad; at a minimum, it distorts and directs energy in the other direction. From you.

To make our protective amulet stronger, you can try one of hundreds spells on pins. For example,

Fire plot

To do this, light a candle made of natural wax and drop pins into your ear, saying:

“The pin is sharp, pierce the evil with a needle, send it away from me. I conjure the word with fire, I fix the word with iron.”

There are a lot of similar conspiracies, but there is no extreme need for them. You only need a simple affirmation that you come up with yourself and say a certain number of times over the pin for it to work. I will say more, you can even do without it. Just find a pin at home and wear it under your clothes. It's simple.

How to protect yourself from the evil eye and damage?

There is another opinion regarding the direction of the point (clasp) of a pin. If you want to protect yourself from an unkind word, wear it with the needle down, and from the evil eye, wear it with the needle up. In general, it’s up to you, but I haven’t yet come across advice to wear a pin horizontally as an amulet to protect against the evil eye. We only carry it vertically.

The peculiarity of a safety pin is in its clasp, and in the fact that it is not entirely straight. That is, in its original form it cannot direct energy, but it can definitely change it and close it within itself thanks to another symbol - the clasp. It certainly still performs its protective functions, but more passively, mainly by bending and absorbing energy. To a large extent, it received its magical protective properties from its ancestor, an ordinary pin in the form of a hairpin.

Classic pins as active protection against the evil eye

Tailor's pins will ideally cope with the evil eye with their more active protection, by partially reflecting and redirecting negative energy back. Sometimes, a classic pin is worn in pairs - pinned crosswise, point down. Here comes the reinforcement of the magic of cold iron with magic. By the way, a silver pin will add strength to your protective talisman. I will definitely write about the meaning and symbolism of silver in future posts.

A significant disadvantage of tailoringPins are not very comfortable to wear on the body; they can easily jump out and hurt you, which is not good. You can lose it, which is also a bad sign.

If you lose a safety pin, it means it's time to put on a new one. The old one has accumulated enough of all sorts of nasty things in herself and has exhausted her capabilities. In this case, protective amulets are usually lost. Yes, talismans have an expiration date. What did you think?

Pins, signs and magic

There is another sign: if you find a pin on the road, lying with its point away from you and pick it up, then you will be lucky. I believe that in our time, pins don’t just lie on the roads. We have all switched to modern analogues - buttons, zippers and hooks. And the pin lying on the road was used for something in any case - either for protection or for attack. So I don’t pick up other people’s pins and I don’t recommend them to you.

Do you want a non-standard and stronger protective amulet? Which will not only protect you from negativity, but will also be able to repel damage or the evil eye back? In the next post I will talk about creating this using the magic of mirrors.

A pin tattoo is an original solution for superstitious people who believe in omens and mysticism. It’s not for nothing that our ancestors paid so much attention to this sharp metal object. What does such a design mean in modern tattoo culture?

Signs about the pin

In ancient times, an analogue of a pin was the thorns of plants and sharp bones, which helped to hold clothes together. In its classical form it appeared in Great Britain in the 15th century, which is why it is still called English. In addition to its main household function, it was considered an unusual decoration and an expensive gift. However, over time, the pin lost its value and became an elementary item that is accessible to everyone.

Since ancient times, there have been many signs and superstitions. For example, accidentally pricking yourself with a pin until it bleeds promises heartache. Giving this item to someone means a quarrel. The pin is also endowed with magical properties and is used as a talisman against the evil eye. To do this, it is pinned to the inside of the clothing with the point down and worn without taking it off. The instrument, located head down at the bottom of the curtain, will protect the house and family members from envy and gossip. In this case, the pin cannot be fastened. A green bead strung on it will protect the child from evil looks and bad people.

Who is a tattoo with a pin suitable for?

A pin tattoo has very different meanings: endurance, strength, courage, wealth. The image of an object inlaid with precious stones speaks of the owner’s material well-being and his satisfaction with life.

Men believe that such a tattoo emphasizes their masculinity and courage, as well as their desire for self-improvement. Such people have good willpower and go ahead towards their goal.

Representatives of the fair sex with a pin tattoo outwardly appear strong, courageous and independent. However, this often hides a desire for stability and confidence in the future. Such women dream of feeling protected, and not always relying on their own strength.

Such a tattoo is often done in memory of a key event in life, usually a sad one. This serves as a reminder to the person of past mistakes and lessons learned. Tattoos with this sharp object are also chosen as a talisman against the evil eye and enemies. Only closed areas of the body are suitable for applying such a tattoo.

Execution technique

Pin tattoos in the style of realism look very impressive, but quite sinister. One of the popular subjects is leather pierced with a needle. A 3D drawing looks as convincing and natural as possible.

New school style will help soften the image and give an ironic touch to the tattoo. The item can be supplemented with an inscription or additional detail. For example, a heart or a flower. Then the tattoo will acquire a special meaning and originality.

A small tattoo will look beautiful on the shoulder, foot, wrist, neck, ankle (see photo in the gallery). The back, arm or leg are more suitable for large and complex compositions.

Now we suggest you understand the meaning of a tattoo with a pin. The pin itself is one of the most ancient household items, as well as a rather popular decoration.

Once upon a time, people used sharply sharpened bones and even thorns of various plants to hold fabric together. After metal processing technology emerged, pins began to be made. For a long time, this item was indispensable in everyday life and was also considered an original decoration. For this purpose, beads and other original details were often strung on it. Pins were often given as gifts.

The pin acquired the form in which we are accustomed to seeing it in the 15th century in Europe. That is why the thing was called a “safety pin”. In those days it was still considered an expensive decoration.

There was a need to create a thing for fastening paper and therefore the pin is widely used. Tailors also needed such stationery. This was the impetus for the production of pins in large quantities.

According to legends, this thing has some kind of magical power. It is often used both for defense and for attack. Thus, the pin can be worn as a talisman against the evil eye, and it is also sometimes used to cause harm to a person.

To protect yourself, it is customary to wear a pin on the inside of your clothing. That way no one can see her. Moreover, it is better if the pin is head down. It is believed that wearing jeans she will not be able to protect the fair sex, since trousers are not an item of women's wardrobe.

If there is such a need to protect your home from bad people and envy, then you can pin a pin at the very bottom of the curtain. Moreover, be sure to end down, and without fastening it. So it’s as if we want to stab the tongues of all those people who want to slander.

According to existing superstitions, a pin, as one of the piercing things, cannot be presented as a gift. This will certainly lead to a quarrel.

If you notice a pin, be sure to look at how it lies. So if the thing is pointed towards you, then this certainly promises bad news. And if you see a pin with the piercing part away from you, then rest assured that luck will not pass you by.

If it happens that you prick yourself with a pin until it bleeds, this will mean heartbreak. To use a pin to protect a child, string a green bead onto it.
