Have you seen the unique tattoo with four black bars? This type of tattoo is known as the Black Flag and has recently become an important part of popular culture with its origins dating back to the 1980s with the rise of the punk music scene.
The black flag tattoo remains a popular ink design throughout the United States and possibly the world.
It’s not just a tribute to a famous punk band that rose to fame during a time when punk was an underground scene. You are either a part of it completely and wholeheartedly or not.
The Black Flag Band represents protest, anarchy and rebellion. These ideas are one reason why many people have inked their skin with a tattoo design that seems simple and uncomplicated, but in reality, it is a bold statement against authority and any which tries to impose control.
The impact of black flag tattoos in the 80s was because punk music wasn’t what the popular kids listened to – it was music for outsiders, which is one reason why black flag tattoos were so bold and Iconic.
The black flag design might be important to you, whether you are a punk fan or not. It might be a statement for you if you’re an activist, someone who fights for what you believe in, or just a full-blown anarchist. “If a white flag means surrender, then a black flag represents anarchy.” – Raymond Pettibon.
