The image of Saint Nicholas has undergone a number of transformations over the years, but the message behind his likeness remains unwavering.
In his red robes and white beard, gift sack slung over his shoulder and kindness twinkling in his eyes, Saint Nicholas and his modern day counterpart Santa Claus are the ultimate holiday superstars.
As a child you probably heard that Santa Claus was coming to town, that you’d better brush up your behavior and give thanks for what you have. Perhaps you set a glass of milk and plate of cookies out each year (with carrots for the reindeer of course), and never forgot the excitement of trying to go to sleep when you just knew Santa Claus was around the corner.
Those sensations needn’t fizzle out with adulthood, and the Santa Claus tattoo is proof that a man may grow up, but he never grows out of waiting for Saint Nick. Whether it’s the slender Victorian figure or round, jovial persona of today, the Santa Claus you ultimately ink on your skin reflects the man you will forever associate with glad tidings and delicious abundance.
We may have abandoned some of our childish traditions and beliefs throughout the years, but that doesn’t mean we can’t honor their spirit and origin.
These Santa Claus tattoo design ideas are more than just a nod to an iconic holiday hero, but lasting commitments to carrying out his gregarious generosity for one and all.
