If you see someone with this tattoo on their hand, you had better know what it means

When I see many individuals with the same tattoo, it intrigues me more than anything else. In other words, the mere mention of a tattoo immediately piques my interest in learning more about its meaning and the significance the wearer placed on such a permanent mark.

I should mention that I’ve never really considered researching the so-called “red string of fate” until today, even though I’ve seen it several times over the years.

Even while some of our readers would recognize the little red tattoo, many others who have seen it probably don’t know what it means symbolically.

Several others had the tattoo, as I said before. At least enough to see a trend, I’m sure. Even though I didn’t know what it meant, I knew this mark had significance.

Based on my research (thanks, internet), I’ve learned that this particular red string tattoo is called the “red string of fate” in parts of Asia. This tattoo, which is most often seen on women’s pinky fingers and men’s thumbs, resembles a knotted shoelace in its simplicity.
