Flame Tattoos

Flame represents light and hope. Ever since the dawn of human civilization Man had gone to seek the precious fire. Earlier the cave dwellers brought these fires from the remnants of something that had been consumed by fire. It could have been preserved after a forest fire, a burnt piece of wood after a lightning had struck, a smoking object which later kindled into a large fire or a fire stolen from other forest tribes. Later several fights or naked battles were fought for this sacred flame. Mind you, this happened millions of years when Man was almost in his ape like characteristics and had not shunned his wild habits. Then over the course of time, he found the crude methods of making his own fire, a great and revolutionary achievement in itself that paved way for Man to make that single and foremost giant stride from that of a wild animal towards the first steps of civilization. Fire or rather flame became his symbol of accomplishment, change, passion, a beacon of light & knowledge, a process of transformation, potency, and also that of destruction and warning to his own specie and other wild creatures.
