The crown is often a symbol of the monarchy. The crown represents power, leadership, immortality, righteousness, victory, triumph, resurrection, honor and the glory of life afterdeath. A crown of thorns is said to be put on Jesus's head before his crucifixion and has become a symbol of martyrdom. As a tattoo element, the crown isn't necessarily a symbol of the wearer's right to rule others. A crown tattoo symbolizes an individual's sovereignty over their own life, feelings, thoughts and actions. The crown tattoo symbolizes self control and is a reminder to use power and authority wisely and justly.
