Conceptually speaking, the term “suggestivism” refers to the ability of an individual to pursue their purpose with an amplified understanding and sensitivity. The artists involved represent precisely this – a wave of purpose, working within the more fluid aspects of narrative or figurative arenas. Through thower of suggestion, the magic is transferred from one to another, engaging the world at large from the most vivid and evocative of visual realms.

Devil Tattoos natural
of manipulation; he often causes people to commit the gravest of sins by using his charms alone. Since then, many people have created Devil tattoos to portray this kitschy imagery.
An extension of this variety of artwork is often seen with a female Devil. She is usually seen in the pin-up style, and is often displayed alongside an angel figure to show the contrast of good and evil.
Although it is natural for Devil tattoos to take on a sinister quality, many people opt to make it light hearted. Some figures assume a decidedly child-like quality. Rather than bearing a baleful image, they appear more like a chubby, red and mischievous toddler, much akin to the image of Cupid. These images will depict this small, naughty creature with a pointed tail and horns.
Many people choose Devil tattoos that are significant to them. For instance, in classic art, the Devil was shown playing the violin. A musician may find that this fits not only with their work, but their image of themselves.
Classical art is often used for tattoo designs. The Devil has appeared in many famous paintings, and the depth and detail of these works can be beautifully replicated onto skin. Considering that these paintings were meant to tell a story, it can create a picture that holds much meaning to the wearer of this art.
A lot of people decide to create their own designs for Devil tattoos. Some will use the literal figures, both archaic and modern, while others will pick only the pieces that are most appropriate to them. Some will choose to backdrop their picture of the Devil with the classic fire and brimstone perception of Hell, and others yet will show the Devil walking amongst us.
It is undecided whether the existence of the Devil is real, or simply a metaphor to explain why humans behave the way they do. Whatever your belief may be, using this symbol for your tattoo may likely be a metaphor for the way you behave.
