These images are affiliated with white witchcraft likewise better-known as the viking runes, wicca, the tarot, and other magic prophesy and craft. Images like the 'athame' (a double-edged blade employed for white witchcraft), the 'pentacle' (the five-pointed star), and images linked to the four elements (fire, earth, water, and air) fall under the wicca tattoos. Many think these occult Gothic tattoos to be sinister, but upon deeper scrutiny, you will see that this often is not true.
