Aztec Tattoos<\/strong> are a complicated matter, this article will clarify some of the Aztec people<\/a>\u2019s culture, what the different aztec symbols mean and help you make decisions about Aztec tattoo designs<\/a> and which is appropriate for you.  There is a difference between Aztec, Mexican and Spanish art.  Prior to the invasion of the Aztec Empire by Spain the Aztecs were building a written language. These are the topics that have been translated for sure; the Aztec numbering system, and the Aztec calendar<\/a> system. However, even some of the calendar uses aren\u2019t completely clear. In addition, the Aztec people had a very complex military system with warrior ranking that is and maybe never will be completely clear to us.  We know that the Jaguar and Eagle<\/a> were considered high ranking among the warriors.<\/p>\n

Back to the calendar; each of the twenty days of the Aztec calendar is assigned to an Aztec god or deity.  Among them are the Jaguar and the Eagle. Beyond this you will need to read on and study additional information about Aztec deities you might want to include in Aztec Tattoos. Last word, we really don\u2019t know if the Aztecs practiced the art of tattooing.  However they were extremely artistic and practiced numerous art forms; many of them centered on decorating themselves and their buildings. They wore costumes and painted on themselves.<\/p>\n
