Dove Tattoo - Universal Identification
Dove Tattoo - Universal Identification
The dove, a beautiful white bird, is the universal symbol for Peace. The foundations for this go back to Biblical days the Bible’s Old Testament. It was in the Old Testament when God had unleashed such torrential rain that the world flooded. Only Noah, his relatives & the creatures & animals on board the Ark they had built survived. After Noah’s ark had been drifting for days Noah sent off some of the birds in search of land & after a few days the Dove returned bringing with it an olive branch in its beak to show that land was nearby. Because of this the dove has since become a universal symbol of hope & later it became the recognized symbol of peace. This image has been known to plenty of people for hundreds of years.
Since those days the dove has become a Christian symbol meaning to ‘Rest in Peace’. It is for this reason that plenty of tattoo wearers have a dove tattoo on their bodies along with the name of anyone close to them who has passed away.
