Even if the deck is stacked against you, as long as you have one more chip to anti up, you’re not out of the game. A poker chip tattoo represents more than just a love of gambling.

It represents a love of life because that chip is more than just currency for the game.

It represents another chance to win, or something precious that you’ve won already-a sign of victory in the past and more victory to come.

Designs for poker chip tattoos are as varied as the people who wear them. Most have hidden meanings and codes that only they understand. A lucky number, a sign, even an animal totem design in the center all pop up in these classy images. They remind us of what we are living for and the chances that are well worth taking.

Many times, when poker chips pop up in our dreams they are symbolic of the uncertainties of life. They are also a way for our subconscious to tell us that it’s time to take more chances. Of course, this is one of the hardest things to do in life, especially when “the chips are down.”

Will you take that leap of faith? Will you bet your last on an opportunity that is worth having? A poker chip tattoo is a reminder that sometimes it’s worth it to go “all in” when you’ve got your eye on the prize. You will win every time just by living life to the fullest.
