Feeling happy
1. Loving Yourself
The Gaara tattoo is Kanji, which is a Chinese symbol that serves as an ideogram. It's a symbol that represents a word and has its own meaning. The symbol is * ("ai", which means love.
More specifically, it means self-love.
People will get this tattoo as a reminder to love themselves.
Why does Gaara have this tattoo? To be detailed, Gaara tattoos the character for
"love" on his forehead to cement what he has already decided: that he only loves himself.
Since he has been shunned and
maligned despite his best efforts to connect with others, Gaara concludes that he is the only one who will ever love or care about himself.
