About This Design

A cuckold symbol tattoo typically features a pair of horns, often worn by a man, and is a form of self-identification or ironic expression. The symbol is derived from medieval folklore, where a cuckold was a man whose wife was unfaithful, and the horns signified his shame and humiliation. Today, the tattoo has evolved to represent a range of meanings, including irony, humor, and even a badge of honor, as some individuals choose to reclaim and redefine the symbol as a form of self-empowerment or satire.
