Значение татуировки

The dagger, historically a symbol of courage, protection, and sacrifice, carries a potent duality. In traditional tattoo imagery, it often represents overcoming adversity or a willingness to defend one's beliefs. The 'ember vein' within the blade suggests passion, resilience, and a burning inner spirit – a reminder of the fire within that fuels determination and the ability to cut through obstacles. This tattoo speaks to a character who is both strong and sensitive, capable of both defense and deep feeling.
