Repentance

The corpus has no enrichment row for this concept (symbols), so it carries its label, description, aliases and provenance and nothing further. No visual traits or cautions are recorded — not because they failed to load, but because that data does not exist in the corpus.

  Maggie Whales, Tattoo Life

  Tattoo magazine feature. Verbatim: "One of the most common subject in tattooing is certainly the occult eye, the one that sees all and is associated with Freemasonry." (the singular 'subject' is the source's own); "But even earlier the eye was present in Christian iconography, placed within the triangle with reference to the Holy Trinity."; "With a tear, it is very commonly used in the Chicano style to indicate repentance."; and "In some Neo Traditional interpretations, the eye loses all human connotations and becomes a door to alien souls, devoid of feeling." It also states the plurality principle outright: the eye "can be depicted in many different and personal ways, depending on the style of the artist and on the will and meaning that the wearer wishes to give it." For the face it records that "in a realistic portrait, it is the face element that has to convey all the expressiveness of the person being portrayed".
