Why did Andrew Tate allegedly tattoo ‘every woman he owned’ in Romania? Exploring meaning behind his chest ink
BUCHAREST, ROMANIA: Despite being a misogynistic influencer, the outspoken Andrew Tate also known as the 'Top G,' has managed to amass a massive fan following, particularly among Gen Z. Tate first gained fame after a short-lived appearance on 'Big Brother.' However, what is evident from his strong online presence is that Tate is a tattoo enthusiast.
Not only this but reports by the Daily Mail suggested that women who went to work for Andrew Tate in Romania were tattooed with the words 'owned by Tate.'
'Owned by Tate'
Andrew Tate was accused of tattooing the cam girls who worked for him in his Romanian compound with the branding ‘owned by Tate’. The women in question, during the time when Tate was accused of human trafficking and rape, were reportedly who walked around with this branding. He has even been recorded making similar claims in conversations with publications like Barstool Sports. During that time, he was quoted saying, "It's not about being property, it's about she belongs to him," and "because they're in a relationship." The same does not, in Tate's opinion, apply to male equivalents since, in his opinion, "the woman belongs(s) to the man" and has "a stake in those pasts," but not the reverse.
Tate's chest Tattoo
At first glance, the tattoo inked on Tate's chest appears to be a mix of an Oni mask and a snake-like design. There is more to it than what actually seems even though the execution might not be the best. Tate claims that the tattoo is an image of the devil's face and a snake, signifying his ongoing struggle with the devil. He believes that God sent him to Earth, and this tattoo symbolizes ongoing conflict with evil.
It's interesting to note that Andrew's tattoo on his chest wasn't his first. He had a butterfly tattooed on his arm before the devil and snake. He didn't like how it turned out, though, and thought it didn't accurately reflect him. He didn't believe the butterfly fit him because he considered himself a "Cobra Tate." However, even this ink was a coverup for a previous tattoo Andrew had on his chest.
