this is called a Mati....which is greek. It symbolizes the eyes of god watching out for you.

Yes i is a beautiful tat!! But actually it has nothing to do with god! It does protect from evil, jelousy, ill will someone might wish upon you. And Alot of cultures believe in it.. Italians (like me), Greeks, Turks, Arabs. And there are more.

actually this is an evil eye bead and it is Turkish.. it drives away the bad spirits and bad luck.. it has no meaning about the god.. it is much more energy thing.. it is hard to explain but for example when someone looks to a beautiful glass vase and gets jealous, he sends a bad energy to the vase and it breaks soon.. it is the same for people and houses and everything.. the evil eye bead keeps the bad energy away.. i hope the owner of the tattoo knows the real meaning.. by the way.. THIS IS THE MOST AMAZING COLORS I'VE EVER SEEN..!!!

Simply fantastic this tattooing. It would like to make a Greek eye but it wanted to make something lesser. You have some suggestion?

Yo I had this exact idea for an evil eye tattoo, but want it for my upper bicep. Where are you located?
