Basta Tattoo on Arms

On the hands, or rather on the forearms, two inscriptions were originally stuffed:

• On the left hand "Go with God", which in Spanish means "to walk with God."
• On the right hand Quien si no mi, which translates as "who if not me."

These inscriptions indicate that their owner puts high moral values, and wants to go through his life doing everything possible, but not step over other people.

Later, drawings of armor appeared around these inscriptions, similar bracers were worn by gladiators and other warriors in the old days. The armor tattoo is always interpreted as militancy, the ability to defend oneself, stand up for oneself, one's principles and interests. The ability to defend one's position in the modern world is no less important than the ability to wield weapons in antiquity.
