Illuminati Tattoos Designs, Ideas and Meaning

The Illuminati is a famed secret organization often referred to in various novels, movies, comics, television shows, music videos and video games. Historically, the name was used to describe the Bavarian Illuminati which was an Age of Enlightenment-era secret society. Established in 1776, its main aim was to oppose prejudice, superstition, religious oppression and abuse of state power as well as to support gender equality and women’s education. They were also believed to play an important role in the French Revolution. Although the Illuminati disbanded in 1785, various organizations that claimed or purported to be linked with the original Illuminati surfaced and played central roles in various conspiracy theories. The very mention of Illuminati conjures up ideas of secrecy and mystery. It is for this reason that many people love to get tattoos inspired by Illuminati themes. Illuminati tattoos often feature a pyramid with the all-seeing eye. This can be combined with images of owls, skulls, ravens, or other motifs taken from Egyptian heritage to make the design more interesting.
