The Coat of Arms was born during the Heraldry in ancient Europe, when knights commonly roamed the lands. Back then, it was very hard to distinguish who was your associate and those who were the enemy. If someone was in armor with their helmet, it would be difficult to know who that person was. Also known as the Armorial Achievement, Bearings, or Arms, the Coat of Arms was created. Knights would wear their own personal Coat of Arms, which was often made up of colors and symbols that symbolized the Knight and the kingdom. Once Coat of Arms became commonly used, it was much easier to tell the difference between one kingdom to the next. This was a time when many people couldn't read. With the colors and symbols, many were able to distinguish exactly who was behind the armor and helmet.
In modern times, the Coat of Arms is rarely seen. Today, Coat of Arms tattoo designs are a symbol of your past, future, and yourself. You can still see them throughout Europe and various countries, but nothing compared to the days of the knights. Many colleges and universities have their own Coat of Arms.
