30 alpha and omega tattoos (and what they mean)

The Greek alphabet has a great influence on our culture, our religion and our language, but it also has a very important symbolic character that goes back centuries. The letters Alpha and Omega are the most important in this alphabet, not only because they are the first and last respectively, but also because they are closely related to the biblical elements. These are not just two simple symbols of the Greek alphabet used in certain scientific terminologies in other languages; they represent the reality that you can paint on your skin. Although this is a simple and easy drawing, it hides the meaning that you should know if you are learning Greek.

The meaning of these drawings

Alpha and Omega are letters that respectively start and mark the end of the Greek alphabet. That is why in the Bible the Lord three times calls himself Alpha and Omega, that is, the beginning and the end, the first and the last of this world. There is nothing before or after (Revelation 21: 6).

Alpha and Omega are what opens and what closes. Only God is the first in the universe, and he will be the last. This is the reason why Christianity uses these letters as an emblem representing our Lord.

If you are a religious person and think that this is preventing you from getting a tattoo, you are wrong. With this tattoo, which is absolutely not scandalous, you can show everyone that God is your Alpha and your Omega.

The letters Alpha and Omega are also widely used to create terminology in science, mathematics, medicine, etc. If you want to get away from religious or scientific, this tattoo might work for you as well.

Ideas for the next tattoo

Alpha and Omega are not very complex constructs that do not require a lot of additions. Just draw these letters artistically positioning them. You can wear them naked or next to each other.

They look great in any color. You can, for example, tattoo them in yellow and give them a shimmery golden effect.

You can also combine them with sky elements such as clouds on an azure blue background.

If you want a more scientific style, you can tattoo simple letters on your arm or shoulder.

And if you want them to have a more religious connotation, accompany them with crosses, sacred plants, or Bible verses related to Alpha and Omega.
