John Wick Tattoos: All The Hidden Meanings Behind The Ink

For an action franchise, the John Wick films are rife with symbolism and the John Wick tattoo meanings are significant too. Not only do the names of the John Wick characters echo Greek and Roman mythology, but the narrative structure is almost Shakespearean, and the action sequences are often balletic. For films that began with a hitman pulled out of retirement to avenge the death of his dog, they are surprisingly elegant. Their main protagonist, a man of economic word choice and surly charisma, also sports a fair amount of tattoos, and in fact, ink is on display a lot throughout the films.
