The significance of tattooed snakes

Snakes symbolize longevity, reproduction and wealth. In the traditional culture of China, snakes and turtles are symbols of longevity. Yoga practitioners believe that snakes can live for 500 years, and there is a kind of "force" coiled like a snake in the human body, called "snake force". With proper practice, this power can be released. Snakes are also a symbol of wealth. According to folklore, snakes have their own underground kingdom, which contains countless treasures, so people who want to get rich must go to the snake temple to pray. As tattoos are more and more accepted by people, snake patterns are also the patterns chosen by more fans.
