majorpenalty Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 i like the design but i'm not really sure what it means, honesty? Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/3292-shaking-hands-design/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Flores Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 You mean the friendship hands? Honestly I don't think meanings of tattoos are really that important unless you that is something that you are into. Meaning I don't think you have to worry about someone diving to deep into your imagery on a traditional tattoo or challenging it's application to your life. On the other hand I can see how it's fun to dig into the history and see how stuff originated. slayer9019, MadeIndelible and hogg 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/3292-shaking-hands-design/#findComment-56651 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delicious Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I was interested by this design too, also the hand with the letter. I didnt want to get it tattooed without understanding it, so I put it off. Not that it had to have a special meaning, but still a little background on an image is helpful Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/3292-shaking-hands-design/#findComment-56652 Share on other sites More sharing options...

CABS Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 To my understanding, the handshake is about brotherhood, loyalty, honesty, camaraderie, friendship, etc. I could be wrong. The hand with the letter is a Dear John design. It's signifies a big break up. Usually people get that tattooed after they've been dumped. Or so I'm told. I wouldn't want that tattooed on me though. I don't need a reminder on my skin that I just got dumped. cltattooing, Avery Taylor, hogg and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/3292-shaking-hands-design/#findComment-56672 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAllen Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 It's used in some fraternal organizations as one of the symbols of an aspect of their teachings. Sometimes old flash contained masonic and ioof symbols.

MadeIndelible Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Always loved the shaking hands tattoo. Will probably get one as filler once my legs fill up.

OrlandoFerron Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 ive always had the same curiosity, im sure theres a really logical symbolisim to the tattoo but Ive spent some time in SLC and when walking around the mormon temple theres tons of masonic symbols all over that building and one of them is the shaking hands, for all we know they shake hands before they put on their goat pants and howl at the moon in secret societies vegdad 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/3292-shaking-hands-design/#findComment-65717 Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbhikes Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I didn't know the hand (or bird) with the letter was a Dear John letter. I always thought it was a love letter.
