Clover tattoos
A four leaf clover tattoo is a symbol of good luck like other symbols - horse shoes or rabbit’s feet but still a four leaf clover stands special. Typically, connected with Ireland’s rolling hills and legends of leprechauns, the four leaf clover is basically closely related with the shamrock, which is considered a charm against evil. The difference is that a shamrock is quite common and only has three leaves and the fourth leaf is actually caused by a genetic mutation. As a result of this, one leaf is often smaller than the other three, but in media imagery and today’s pop culture all four leaves are of equal size.
Symbolically, one leave stands for hope, one for faith, one for love, and of course the last one for luck. The reason these plants are linked with luck most of all is possibly because of how rare they are. Many people have spent hours crawling through the grassy fields on sunny afternoons and still haven’t found one. Because four leaf clover tattoos are so common, there is a wide array of designs available for them ranging from solid green and plain, to sporting complex shading and texture with adornments like Ireland’s flag, a crown, or a white dove.
