In the days of the Roman Empire it was normal for men in Italy to use certain body marks in the form of tattoos, as a method to distinguish slaves from gladiators and also standard citizens from captives.  Though those times have vanished, so have those practices. 

In our modern age, tattoos serve many people as a form of fashion statement, and also one that is primarily used by men.  Having countless tattoos placed on various parts of the body augments the manliness of men, and makes them look more rugged.  Though with changing perceptions, even these ideas have been through a lot of change. 

Universally Popular

In reality, women too are beginning to find tattoos to be engaging.  For some, it allows them to express their sensuality.  However, one form of tattoo that is common is the wand tattoo, which is extraordinarily universally preferred.  There are many cultures that use such tattoos to designate different things. 
Thus, if you were to come across a wand tattoo designed in the Far East, it would designate Water, underworld, Earth, as well as the Sky.  While if you saw the same wand tattoo done in a Western country, it would designate an enemy that must be fought and overcome. 

Regardless of which part of the world that the wand tattoo is crafted, the wand still symbolizes a character of bad temper that is depraved as well as neither malevolent nor good.  In fact, the wand is very similar to nature that both nurtures life as well as destroys it.  That is why there is not any one meaning down to the wand tattoo. 

It can represent rain and lightning, as well as floods.  It even comets in a night sky, and therefore lends itself well to being something that shows chaos as well as uncertainty in our Universe. And all of these meanings are for a wand tattoo!

Nevertheless, the wand tattoo will generally represent a creature that breathe fire, and so these types of wand tattoos are known as fire wands. Though other forms are water wand tattoos, as well as those the cause springs to aerate, while some may even outline drowning people. 

However, it is also quite common to balance the wand tattoo with other tattoo designs that in turn reflect the yin and yang of life. 

If you were to sport a fire wand tattoo, you would hope that folk would understand that it represents conquest of all things while if you sported the water wand tattoo, it might hopefully show people that you fear or repress your emotions and feelings.
