What Does Sempiternal Tattoo Mean?
If you are a fan of the band Bring Me the Horizon, chances are you have heard of their album Sempiternal. If you haven’t, well the symbol on the front of that album is quite popular with fans of the rock band and is seen in many tattoos across the world. Unlike many other band tattoos, though, the Sempiternal tattoo can have more than just one meaning, and most of the meanings associated with this tattoo are pretty interesting.
The shape used for the Sempiternal album cover is a version of The Flower of Life, which is one of the seven “divine elements of sacred geometry.” The shape has many interwoven circles that create a large hexagon. There is a gold lace surrounding the large shape and the entire cover is done in gold and black.
As we pointed out before, there are quite a few reasons why people decide to get their Sempiternal tattoos. Below you will find some of the most popular meanings that can be used with these tattoos as well as a couple of ways that you might get one designed if you end up deciding to get one.
Commonly Used Sempiternal Tattoo Meanings
Probably the most common reason why people choose to get the Sempiternal tattoo is because they love the Sempiternal album. This meaning won’t be clear to people who have never heard of the band and/or seen the cover, but that’s not necessarily a problem, especially to those who want to keep it as a bit of a mystery.
Another pretty common meaning attached to the Sempiternal design is “everlasting life,” since that is what the shape actually represents. That’s a great meaning to use if you believe in the afterlife or if you love the way that things (including music) live on even after we are gone.
The Sempiternal tattoo can also be used as a love tattoo. It can mean eternal love, which is a great meaning to use if you and your significant other both love the band and each other. You could even add in other love designs to make this meaning a bit clearer, such as putting hearts somewhere inside of or outside of the Sempiternal shape.
