Symbolism

If you decide to get the biohazard tattoo, there may be a number of different reasons as to why you decide on this particular piece. For one, it is a neat design, something about it just shouts out ‘danger’. It also looks as if it could be a tribal tattoo as well. If you have any tribal tattoos, this symbol accompanying the tribal designs blends in great.

The band known as ‘Biohazard’ may be another reason why you get this tattoo. Biohazard, the band, was formed in the late 1980’s in New York, they would use the classic biohazard symbol as a logo for the band. Many hardcore Biohazard band fanatics have gotten the symbol of biohazard inked somewhere on their body. This graphic is perfect for the band that is known for being loud, heavy, and thought provoking. It is also a great conversation starter amongst peers. When you go to a Biohazard concert, you will be sure to see a crowd of people sporting this tattoo.

The main idea of the biohazard design is to warn others of infectious diseases or chemicals that are harmful to humans. If you have a dark sense of humor and enjoy getting shock value out of others, this is a design that may amuse you. This warning sign that is labeled on toxic materials and waste bins tells others to be careful approaching said items. This tattoo can tell others that you are not to be approached, to proceed with caution because you are such a wild card, there’s never knowing what you may do. However, this reason for the tattoo is for pure fun.

Although this is not a normal, a rather peculiar reason so to say, to get this as a tattoo, it is said that individuals with life threatening illnesses and disease that can be spread have gotten this tattoo in a way of telling others. More than often, these diseases would be sexually transmitted, getting the biohazard tattoo on you can signify to others that you have an STD you must warn them about. It is a cautionary sign to let others know, especially those with HIV and AIDS, that you are carrying this disease and you are infectious. This may be an odd way of going about telling people about your personal life, but it has been proven to work.
