Historical Origins and Evolution of Albanian Tattoos
The historical significance of Albanian tattoos is deeply rooted in the country's past. The double-headed eagle has been a symbol of Albania since the Middle Ages, associated with the Byzantine Empire and later adopted by the national hero, Skanderbeg, during the 15th century. This emblem became a symbol of resistance and unity against the Ottoman Empire. Over the centuries, it has remained a powerful representation of Albanian identity and pride. Tattoos featuring this symbol serve as a tribute to the resilience and enduring spirit of the Albanian people.
