In the early 1900s, horseshoes were commonly hung upside down beside doorways. This was believed to protect the home, since no witch could pass through the doorway when protected by the horseshoe.
Some horseshoes are still found hanging by doorways on homes and buildings in various areas of the world. There are some horseshoe tattoos created with the upside down design to symbolize this type of protection.

The most infamous horseshoe of all time has to be the one Amy Winehouse wore on her left shoulder. She had a large decorative horseshoe turned upward on the top of her shoulder. The words "Daddy's Girl" were tattooed around the horseshoe, with the first word on the top of her shoulder and the second word sitting below the horseshoe on her arm.
This tattoo has become famous and is even sold as a temporary tattoo online today. The singer is no longer alive, but her tattoos continue to make a lasting impression on fans around the world.
