Other Common Omega Tattoo Meanings

People who are fans of the number 24 will sometimes get the omega tattoo since it is the 24th letter in the Greek alphabet. These types of tattoos are very popular amongst athletes because they like to get tats of the numbers they wear on their jerseys. It could also be a pretty good idea for people born on the 24th or those who find the number to be special in some other way.

Another pretty unique reason for getting the Omega tattoo is if your first, middle or last name starts with an O since Omega literally translates to “great O.” Some will get the Omega along with other letters from the Greek alphabet to spell out their name or for an initials tattoo.

The lowercase Omega looks like a W, so it is sometimes used in place of the W when people use it in text tattoos. This is a good idea if you want to get a text tattoo that looks different while also adding in even more meanings. You don’t even have to add in other Greek letters; you can just use the Omega and then keep the rest of the text in your native language.

Fans of the game Metroid II will sometimes get the character Omega tattooed on their skin. Omega was the final boss in that game and was very tough to defeat, so fans of the game will often get Omega to show that they both love the game and respect the challenge the boss offered.

Omega is often combined with other symbol tattoos to give a fuller representation of who the owner is as a person. This is easier with letters from the Greek alphabet because there are a lot of one-word meanings attached to them and you can easily get a bunch of true meanings in three or four symbols in a single design.

Omega Tattoo Designs and Placements

The design of the uppercase and lowercase Omegas are pretty much set in stone, but that doesn’t mean you can tweak them a bit to give them a unique look. Of course, some people do like the classic look of the Omega and will choose to get it designed the way it looked almost three thousand years ago.
