Why People Choose 自由 as a Tattoo

Philosophical meaning — In Daoist thought, true freedom flows from harmony with self and nature.
Universal appeal — Like "freedom" or "liberation," 自由 speaks to the human desire to choose one’s path and stay true to oneself.
Modern relevance — Many choose 自由 to mark a personal transformation — breaking free from limitations, or embracing a new chapter in life.

Just as wings or open skies symbolize freedom in Western art, 自由 captures that same spirit through Chinese artistry - a statement of strength, peace, and self-sovereignty.
