Poker tattoos. Gambling Lovers' Tattoos Favorite Card Hand

Today we are going to take a look at tattoos that truly passionate people, players and poker lovers make for themselves.

Tattoos "for good luck"

Luck in poker is essential. Therefore, in order to more often attract fortune to their side, players make tattoos with the image ace of spades(spades are considered lucky), horseshoes, the word "Luck", dice... As for the dice, it is desirable that they show the number 7 on the tattoo, which in itself is lucky.

Favorite card hand

Very often, poker players choose winning card combinations for tattoos (full house, flush, etc.).

Apparently, they would not mind getting such combinations during the game. In addition, these poker tattoos are a demonstration of past victories and attract new ones. Sometimes players get tattoos with lucky pocket cards.

Inscriptions.

The lettering is very popular. Usually these are English-language “Lucky”, “The Winner Takes It All”, “Fortune Favors the Bold”, “Life Is a Game We Play” ( “Life is a game we play”).

Joker.

This tattoo can have several meanings, and each owner puts something important into it just for himself. A joker tattoo can mean an irresistible desire to gamble or indicate that its owner is a gambling professional, perhaps even a cheat. If a joker girl is tattooed, then this may mean the impermanence of the player's fortune, which is thus associated with the female character. However, the whims of luck can also be expressed by an ordinary joker.

There were some pretty funny situations with tattoos in poker:

For example, one online casino organized a kind of auction, as a result of which a girl voluntarily got a tattoo with a logo on her forehead for only $ 10,000. Thus, the administration of the gambling house advertised its establishment and attracted new players.

And in 2010, Jeff Madsen, Joe Sebok, and Gavin Smith played in the WPT L.A. Main Event. Poker Classic. According to the terms of their dispute, the first to drop out of the tournament was to get tattoos depicting the other two remaining participants. The second dropout had to fill only one tattoo depicting the winner of the bet.

Sebok was the first to leave the tournament, then Madsen, and Gavin Smith was the winner)

Casino and poker tournaments have long ceased to be an elite entertainment. There is no special dress code or specific behavioral rules among today's card players. Many stars at major tournaments are dressed in casual style, play to far from classical music, and, like Dan Bilzerian, shock the audience with non-gentlemanly behavior at tournaments and on social networks.

Among modern players, tattoos are becoming more and more fashionable and even begin to acquire a cult significance: the players endow the images on their bodies with a special meaning. One of professional players world-famous Daniel Negreanu is so charismatic and loved by fans that some of them even began to turn the idol's autographs on their bodies into tattoos. So, in 2014, a fan made a tattoo on the lower back in the form of Negreanu's signature. Two years later, a Norwegian fan of the player also got an autographed tattoo on his left leg. At first, only the Negreanu painting adorned the leg, but then the composition also included a gold WSOP bracelet and a dozen clubs with a seven of spades.

At first glance, it looks like the act of a fanatic. On the other hand, Ten of Clubs and Seven of Spades is the hand with which Negreanu won the decisive hand at the 2006 WSOP and which the player says is his favorite pair of cards. Thus, it is quite possible that the fan made the composition on the left foot in the hope that the autograph of the successful player along with the lucky card combination will bring him good luck in the game.

Poker tattoo meanings

Indeed, among poker players, it is believed that if a player gets a tattoo, then the reason is not only aesthetic. Thanks to the placement of certain symbols on the body, card players try to attract good luck, since the overwhelming majority of them are extremely superstitious. Tattoos are widespread among players with symbols such as a horseshoe, dice giving the number 7, a four-petal clover, and three sevens.

The tattoo can also include several "lucky" symbols, but the symbols should not be from different games of chance.
As in the case of the Norwegian fan, winning card combinations such as full house are especially popular.

Joker

A distinctive feature of "gambling" tattoos is their polysemy. Several semantic meanings can be embedded in the same picture. Therefore, before making a tattoo of this type, we strongly recommend that you thoroughly study its semantic meaning so that it is correctly understood and interpreted by others.

The Joker belongs to the controversial tattoos. Its first meaning is an irresistible craving for the game. The second meaning indicates that the owner of the tattoo is a professional card player - a master of his craft. But the joker can also mean cheating. If the tattoo depicts a joker - a woman, then in this case the owner of the tattoo is sure that fortune is changeable like a woman's inconstancy.

Bones

A dice tattoo does not mean that its owner is addicted to the game. The generally accepted meaning of this tattoo is that the player relies more on luck than on skill. Dice can also express the unpredictability of the game.

The cards are on fire

The tattoo depicting cards in flames is not very common among poker players. But if it comes across, then most likely its owner is a fan of taking risks during the game. The second meaning of this tattoo is game addiction.

Location of the tattoo

Most often, "gambling" tattoos that bring good luck are on the hands. It is the hands of the players that are most involved in the game - they shuffle cards, take chips, count the winnings, so, according to tradition, luck should be drawn to the hands.
