The teapot tattoo design has been used by many from all walks of life and it remains a very popular choice for a body art. The appeal is varied and it can be interpreted in different ways by various people.
For one, the teapot tattoo may mean a certain type of personality – specifically someone who likes to do things his own way without necessarily sticking to the rules. This makes him a perfect example of a free-spirited individual. He’s a person who is not bound by convention and enjoys life on his own terms.

This teapot tattoo design may also have certain spiritual overtones which you can interpret on your own way as well. It’s all up to you anyway.
Another popular use of the teapot tattoo design is that it can represent wisdom which you have acquired through your experiences in life. This interpretation is appropriate because the idea of being able to share knowledge and information with others comes to mind when one thinks about a pot, especially an old tea pot.
We’re not sure about how ancient this symbolism is but it can date back to the days when tea actually meant something. Or, at least, the symbolism was very different from what it has become now.
An old tea pot may have looked so for a good reason – to remind someone of his personal journey through life and all that he has learned along the way.
That’s why tea drinking is said to be relaxing – it helps one de-stress and take a break (read: wisdom break) from everyday life after working hard for long hours, usually at work. That isn’t to say that this particular symbolism originated in Asia because it’s present in many cultures around the world today.
There’s much to learn from the symbols and tattoos we have around us but we must do proper research and not just go for something that looks good in the spur of the moment. After all, getting a tattoo is a serious thing and it should be treated as such by everyone who wants one.
The teapot tattoo meaning is usually one of serenity and peace which, again, is very much in keeping with its Asian origins. The design looks quite serene because it’s not ‘busy‘ like many other body art designs are. It’s simple but eye-catching at the same time because it stands out against your skin and almost always looks good.
This design is also not likely to be offensive to anyone because it’s just a teapot, after all. It doesn’t have too many elements that would make the average untrained eye wonder what it means or say something about its owner that they might regret later on in life.

There are many other possible meanings for this tattoo but it’s best if you interpret the design yourself rather than getting a view from elsewhere. After all, only you know what this tattoo really means to you and how it can be used to your advantage in life.
