About Heart Tattoos
Love is the greatest theme in human art, and the ever-emblematic heart tattoo takes as many forms as the emotion itself! Hearts can signify endless love, unrequited love, parental love, or lost love.
A heart tattoo can be a powerful symbol of your devotion—an emblem of the timeless permanence of your feelings. To be tattooed together with a loved one or have their name impressed on your body is one of the strongest ways to declare your bond or reinforce your commitment.
Where can you put a heart tattoo? Well, where COULDN’T you put a heart tattoo? It can be made as small as a beauty mark to put on your upper lip or a teardrop to roll down your cheek. Your heart can stretch across your back, spreading life-size wings!
A heart-theme is great for hiding away beneath panties—waiting to surprise and delight! A heart can bleed all over your bicep—crying endlessly in heartache.
Sweetheart themes can have angel wings, butterflies, or flowers. Lovers can consider symbols of unity such as the Celtic knot, hearts entwined, double hearts, flaming hearts, or heart roses. On the flip side, broken hearts, barbed wire, daggers, black hearts, puzzle hearts, heart locks, or torn hearts can chronicle rough roads.
If you have a quirky sense of humor, you might consider a realistic heart—correct anatomical placement could prove useful. The Sacred Heart or cross and heart can be a testament of religious devotion. Maybe you’d like to give your heart to the U.S.M.C. or the Navy? And if sunshine and roses, forever and commitment aren’t your thing, you can always go tongue-in-cheek and give your heart to Mom!
