If i get a tattoo with the Anarchy symbol in it do i have to embrace the whole theory of Anarchism or can i just get it to express the fact i believe in freedom and living by your own set of rules?

Answer 1

Having tattoos myself I can relate to this very easily. Although it seems like a good idea to show a symbol that means freedom and living by your own rules. This tattoo and the meaning behind it is not necessarily a good meaning. Especially when most of the people who use it, graffiti it on walls in riots. Also know although it tries to promote a "family" type of life. They still will use extreme and aggressive tactics to enforce their ways. I suggest if you get this tattoo that you try to understand it both positively and negatively. This will be on your skin forever...so for example will you still have this same train of though 5 years from now? With any tattoo always understand the full meaning of it and how it impacts your life. Whatever your decision maybe, it is for you and yourself and no one else to decide or judge upon you. Best of luck to ya!
