Historical Origins and Evolution of Bat Tattoos
Historically, bats have been subjects of fascination and fear. In ancient civilizations, bats were often linked to the underworld and the afterlife due to their nocturnal habits. In medieval Europe, bats were associated with witches and were thought to be familiars or companions of those practicing witchcraft. This historical association with the supernatural has contributed to the bat's enduring presence in folklore and mythology. In contrast, in ancient China, bats were revered as symbols of good fortune and were often depicted in art and architecture to bring prosperity and happiness.
