What does a lightning bolt brand symbolize?

Answer 1

Most people that have one single Lightning Bolt as a tattoo are fans of the National Football League (American football) San Diego Chargers whose team logo is a single lightning bolt.

I agree that the answer about FEAR and strokes is completely inaccurate. While they may be justified answers for some questions it is not for this question

That is complete bull. i have 3 lightning bolt tattoos and they can represent a series of things. mine represents white power and strength as a person but it can also mean any of these things too: -mainly white power. and derogatory racism -it can mean power of the gods -self power, strength, and control -it can also represent the SS symbol used in Nazi Germany. the Nazi SS looks like a lightning bolt if you connect the top and bottom to make one. look up the SS and it will make more sense, that also is where the white power meaning came from because of the racism used in Nazi Germany.... that makes way more sense too.

a lightning bolt represents FEAR. because lightning follows thunder; which is loud and scary. so having a lightning bolt tattoo must symbolize something along the line of one consisting of fear.

The lightening bolt is also a symbol for a Stroke (Strokes, or brain attacks, are a major cause of death and permanent disability. They occur when blood flow to a region of the brain is obstructed and may result in death of brain tissue.)

It is a tough thing for not only the victim but the families and friends of the victims. Sometimes they come out the same, and other times they could have permanent disabilities.

Thunder actually follows lightning because the speed of light is faster than the speed of sound (speed of light being 299,792,458 miles per second, speed of sound being approximately 340.29 miles per second at sea level). However, lightning and thunder are often associated with each other and therefore could potentially still achieve the symbolic connotation of fear.

Double lighting bolts are the symbol of the SS, Hitler's special forces. White supremacist gangs often tattoo this symbol on themselves.

Lightning bolts can symbolize anything from strength to unpredictability.

Lightning actually travels at approx 300,000 km/sec, while sound is 343m/sec. And IMHO Lightning can mean whatever you want it to be as a tattoo. The letter M does not signify Miles, it signifies Metres!
It could symbolize anything, but most recently lightning bolt tattoos have been a tribute to Harry Potter. But remember lightning is also associated with speed ("fast as lightning"), anger, fear, power, nature, electricity (cutesy tattoo for an electrician)...really, anything.
The meaning of a certain tattoo will vary from person to person, there is no definite answer to this question.-Shocker
