The Meaning of the Dice Tattoo
The meaning of the dice tattoo goes back thousands of years, where dice and dice games were very popular among Asian cultures as well as many cultures around the world. On western style dice the dots are positioned on the outside of each side, where on Asian dice the dots are positioned near the center of the side of the dice.
However, just like with gambling in general, the meaning of the dice tattoo has to do with luck. People who are into gambling often get a dice tattoo and the number of eyes on the dice shown in the design give the tattoo its meaning. Two ones, also know as snake eyes, represent bad luck. If the number of eyes on the two dice combined equal seven it means good luck.
In most tattoo designs the dice are combined with other gambling motifs like cards, flames, lady luck, or pinup girls. There are many meanings to the dice tattoo as you can see, and it may have a totally different meaning for you.
