BEST IDEAS FOR A GREAT 555 TATTOO

There is nothing wrong with making a small and intimate 555 tattoo. But you may also consider incorporating your angel number 555 into a symbolic design.

It’s a great way to make the meaning of your 555 tattoo more personal.

Let’s have a look at the different symbols of change and transformation you can use to design your tattoo!

And don’t worry! I listed for you the best symbols, animals, flowers, quotes, and colors!

Symbols that represent change and transformation

• Janus was the Roman god of new beginnings and transition. The start of the calendarial month, year, and day were often dedicated to him. The month of January is also named after him. He was invoked during wars as he symbolized the end of the war and the beginning of peace. He is usually represented with two faces, one for the past and one for the future.

• The Planet Uranus is also a symbol of transformation and change. In astrology, the study of Uranus in a person’s natal chart shows which parts of life a person may encounter significant changes.

Animals that represent change and transformation

• The Butterfly is the most known symbol of change and transformation due to its metamorphosis from a wormy caterpillar to a beautiful insect with vivid colors. The butterfly is a perfect design idea for your 555 tattoo specially for a woman.

• The bear appears each spring with the change of the season. That’s why in the Native American cultures, it represents change.

• The swan is a very beautiful animal but it was not born like that. Through its growth, he becomes graceful, elegant, and peaceful. That’s why the swan perfectly symbolizes transformation and personal growth.

• The Snakes renew their skin several times in a year, and for this reason, snakes may be a symbol of renewal, rebirth, and transformation.

• The chameleon symbolizes well a willingness to change. It can change out of fear, but it also can change to impress. The chameleon is a gentle reminder we should embrace change and transformation because of wanting instead of fear.

• The frog symbolizes change because of the way it grows. Firstly an egg, then a tadpole, then a tail grows. It becomes a froglet and then a frog. Like the frog, people change in stages.

• The Phoenix is a mythical creature that lives between 500 and 1,000 years. At the end of its life, the bird builds a nest around itself and ignites into flames upon its death. It burns until ashes. Then, from the ashes, a new young phoenix rises to live another life. The phoenix’s cycle can symbolize the end of a cycle and the start of another one.

Flowers that represent change and transformation

• The Sunflowers represent positivity, change, and growth. They face the sun and can reach great heights. That’s a perfect symbol of positive growth!

• The dahlia represents change and transition and a difference from the norm. It is recommended to offer dahlias to someone who is going through a big life change or going to the next level in a relationship.

• The Scarlet Pimpernel is well-known for its meaning of big changes in someone’s life. This flower helps farmers and shepherds to predict upcoming and current weather conditions, as it will bloom only if the sun is out, even if there is currently overcast weather.

• The Lilac is another flower that represents change. In Greek mythology, Pan, the God of forests, fell in love with the nymph Syringa, who later turned herself into a lilac shrub as Pan attempted to pursue her romantically.

• The Iris is seen as a sign of change, as it is blooming during the first signs of spring, helping to mark the end of the winter season. The name Iris comes from the Goddess of the rainbow in Greek mythology.

• The snapdragon comes from the word ‘Antirrhinum’, a Greek word for “dragon flower”. Its petals are unique and bulky, growing vertically in vibrant colors such as pink. Most often, the Snapdragon represents positivity, warding off evil, and symbolizing a positive and hopeful change.

BEST TATTOO STYLES FOR YOUR 555 TATTOO

You have a choice between so many different styles of tattoos. Pick a tattoo style that represents well the meaning of your 555 tattoo.

In my opinion, you need a style that will illustrate the idea of change and transformation. You need a modern and artistic style.

I would recommend these 6 tattoo styles: 

• Neo-traditional tattoo style: Inspired by traditional tattoos with more true lifelines and colors. Looks Old school with a feeling of new.
  
  
• Watercolor tattoo style: Delicate and beautiful looking. Very popular among women.
  
  
• Geometric tattoo style: Focus on lines and shapes (Simple or elaborate).
  
  
• Sketch tattoo style: Gives a very authentic look to the tattoo.
  
  
• Realism tattoo style: Looks exactly like reality.
  
  
• Small tattoo style: Can be very small and intimate. Perfect if you still want to keep your tattoo simple, using only the number 555, or maybe also adding a quote to it.

Here are other tattoo styles you can also choose for your 555 tattoo:

• Traditional and Old School tattoo style: Classic American tattoo. It is the kind of tattoo your Grandpa got when he was in the navy!
  
  
• Anime tattoo style: Inspired by animes, TV shows, and comics.

• Fine line tattoo style: Delicate tattoos, aesthetically pleasing to watch.
  
  
• Portrait tattoo style: Must be done by a high-skilled tattoo artist.

• Aesthetic tattoo style: Can be almost anything. Focus on beauty pleasure. 
  
  
• Ignorant tattoo style: Looks like a kid’s drawing.

BEST PLACEMENTS FOR YOUR 555 TATTOO

Like other tattoos, your body is your limit! 

You can make a tattoo everywhere you want on your body (I don’t recommend the face for obvious reasons).

It’s better to choose a place that matches the meaning of change and transformation.

In this case, you have a wide range of choices. 

If your change or transformation is relative to love and relationship, you might consider some areas close to your heart. For example the chest, ribs, inner biceps, or inner forearms.

If your change or transformation is relative to work and personal growth, you may be proud to expose it to anyone. In this case, I would go for the outer arms, shoulders, or upper back.

I usually do some simulations of tattoos to get an idea of the final result. For this, I print a design I like and fix it with adhesive on different places on my body.

You will understand quickly which part of your body is the best for your angel number tattoo.

Where you get your tattoo is ultimately up to you, but keep in mind that some places are more painful than others.

I experienced different levels of pain for each of my tattoos. It depends on the area of the body, the thickness of the lines of the draw, and the filling (or not) of these areas by colors.
