Hydrogen’s name comes from the Greek word “hydro” that means water. The reason for this is hydrogen was experimentally shown to be contained in water by Henry Cavendish in 1766. Since then it was renamed to hydrogen.
What Does Hydrogen tattoo Mean?
Hydrogen tattoo meaning varies depending on the person you ask, but it’s generally agreed to represent purity or air. It symbolizes cleanliness and something that is very simple in structure – for this reason, hydrogen often represents simplicity.
It can also mean lightness due to hydrogen being the first element that ignites when flammable.

With it’s atomic number, hydrogen tattoo meaning is often associated with the elements – but it also represents the universe since hydrogen makes up most of the universe.
The element can be used to symbolize being on top of things or taking control. It might have a negative connotation if affiliated with destructive activity.
Hydrogen tattoo ideas can range from one that represents the element on its own (a simplistic atom), to designs that incorporate its qualities of cleanliness and air into their meanings. For example, if you’re looking for a design that represents purity (and cleanliness), then your choices are an empty gas canister, or a single drop of water.
Hydrogen Tattoo Meanings According to Science
Hydrogen is the first element on the periodic table which means it’s often associated with beginnings – especially when it comes to science. If you’re looking for a tattoo that represents your interest in science, or want a tattoo that’s all about being “the first”, then a hydrogen tattoo might be the choice for you.
In chemistry, hydrogen is regarded as the most fundamental atom and it makes up 75% of everything in this universe (which includes stars and gas giants too). It’s thought that hydrogen was created during the Big Bang during a period called nucleosynthesis where light elements combined to form heavier ones.

It’s also common for hydrogen tattoos to represent the qualities of cleanliness and air because both are relatively easy for people with respiratory conditions (like asthma) to handle – making them very beneficial chemicals in nature.
