Tattoos have long been associated with spiritual significance and cultural ritual—with evidence dating back to ancient tribal communities throughout Asian, Africa, and the Pacific Islands. Today, individuals continue to tattoo their bodies with pictures, words, and symbols that carry specific significance. However, for some collectors, their tattoos have a much more powerful meaning that your average piece of flash.

Take a peek at this powerful display of meaningful tattoos below and let us know in the comments section on Facebook if you left our page with dry eyes.
