The Devil is the ultimate evil. It’s a concept common to many of the west’s religions. Even the Muslims have a devil. The devil has other names such as Satan, Lucifer, Beelzebub, and Mephistopheles. Strictly speaking these are names for individual demons. They aren’t all evil. All of these are featured in various devil tattoos.

Here is the story of the devil in the Christian tradition. Lucifer was an Archangel second only to God in all the universe. No other was his equal. Lucifer wanted God’s position. Lucifer thought he should rule in heaven. He began a revolt, recruiting many angels to his cause. God, Michael, and the other Archangels and Angels still loyal to God defeated Lucifer and his forces. Lucifer and all his followers were kicked out of heaven. Sometimes devil tattoos show this story.

Devil tattoos trace the root of their name back to Old and Middle English. So does the devil’s name. The old English word was deofol, which itself came from the Latin word the diabolus. That word was derived from the Greek word diabolos. That word is roughly translated as to slander across or to hurl the slander. It now means the ruler of hell. In some languages the word for angel eventually became their word for devil. But they hold quite a different regard for an angel and a devil. Devil tattoos take their inspiration from all of these elements.

Devil tattoos carry a specific reputation with them. Someone who wears them is generally a little evil, or maybe even a lot evil. It could also mean mischief, or lewd behavior . But not everyone who wears them is a criminal. But it tells you something about their own self image and about what to expect from them.

Devil tattoos carry an bad reputation. Some people believe they are the symbol of the beast. The devil marks his servants with this mark. But it’s not true.
