Okay, so I’ve been thinking about getting a tattoo for a while now, and I’ve always been drawn to the idea of a money bag. It’s just so…loaded, you know? Like, it’s not just about money, but what it represents – ambition, success, grinding to get what you want. So I started digging into what these money bag tattoos actually mean.

First, I just googled “money bag tattoo meaning” to see what the internet had to say. I went through a bunch of random articles and stuff and then I did some image searches to see different designs. I even checked out some tattoo artists’ portfolios online, just browsing through their work to see if anything sparked inspiration.
Then I started thinking about my own relationship with money. What does it mean to me? It’s not just about being rich, it’s about security, freedom, being able to provide for my family. I started jotting down some ideas in my notes app, trying to put these feelings into words.
Diving Deeper
After that, I decided to get a bit more serious. I started looking into the history of money bags – like, how they were used back in the day, what they symbolized in different cultures. I read somewhere that in some traditions, money bags are seen as a sign of good luck and prosperity. Pretty cool, right?
Then I thought about what kind of style I wanted. Realistic? Old school? Something more abstract? I made a few rough sketches, playing around with different ideas. I even tried to visualize where on my body I’d want it. Arm? Leg? Back? It’s a big decision!
- Design: I spent some time doodling different designs. I played with the idea of a simple, classic drawstring bag, but also considered something more elaborate, maybe with dollar signs or even some coins spilling out.
- Placement: I used a pen to mark potential spots on my body, trying to get a feel for what looked best. It’s tough because different placements convey different vibes, you know?
I also thought about color versus black and gray. It’s a tough choice, but I think this will ultimately come down to the specific design I end up with. And I gotta consider the size, too. Do I want something small and discreet, or a bigger piece that really makes a statement?

Finally, I started reaching out to some tattoo artists whose work I liked. I sent them messages, explaining my idea and asking for their input. A good artist can really help you refine your vision and make sure you end up with something you love. I also checked out some reviews of the artists online. It’s important to make sure you’re going to someone reputable, someone who’s clean and professional, and can give you what you want, of course.
So, that’s where I’m at now. Still figuring things out, but I’m getting closer to making a decision. Getting a tattoo is a big deal, and I want to make sure I do it right. It’s not just about the design itself, but the whole process, the meaning behind it, and finding the right artist to bring it to life. It’s a journey, and I’m kind of enjoying it, to be honest.
I’m still in the research phase, but I’ve already learned so much. It’s cool to see how this simple image can have so many different layers of meaning. I think I’ve finally settled on a design I really like and I’ve narrowed it down to two tattoo artists in my area. I’m going to schedule consultations with both of them next week. Wish me luck!
