Lock Tattoo Meaning

Security, secrets, protection, and the guarded truth within.

The Lock is the guardian of what must be kept safe — the mechanism that seals a thing away, holding secrets, treasure, or truth secure behind it. To carry the Lock is to carry security, secrets, protection, and the guarded truth within — the firm closure that keeps the precious and the private safe from all but the one who holds the key.
