If Somebody Has A Red String Tattoo, THIS Is What It Means

Tattoos are everywhere these days, and they come in all shapes and sizes. They’re seldom just a fashion statement though; few people would get ink permanently etched into their skin without some profound, personal meaning behind it. 

Often the most personal tattoos are small. They’re not intended to be shown off as much as they’re a personal reminder.

There’s one small tattoo that’s becoming a trend: a red string tied in a bow around the pinky finger. You’d have to look hard to even notice it. But it holds powerful meaning and comes from a time-honored East Asian legend.
