Heart Tattoo
Designs
Heart tattoos
come in many shapes, patterns, and sizes.
Traditionally, hearts symbolize love, however, heart tattoos can also
be used
to portray a hard heart, a poisoned heart, a jealous heart, and a
sacred heart.
There are hearts with arrows in them for when we become struck by
Cupid’s arrow
and hearts set aflame to indicate passion. Sometimes the same heart
tattoos can
have two different meanings! A heart with a knife through can mean
betrayal or,
it can symbolize the character and fortitude of the bearer in the face
of
heart-breaking circumstances.
Heart Tattoos For
Romance
The
ideal of
carving a heart with the initials of you and
your beloved on a tree isn’t much different than having
matching heart tattoos.
People generally think twice from adding names to their heart tattoos,
but the
sentiment is still the same. Another motif popular with couples is the
hearts
with a lock on them. One has a lock and another a key. There are still
people
who are so deeply committed to each other that they will put the name
of their
beloved on their heart tattoos.
Heart Tattoos For
Religious Significance
In
other
cultures, hearts are sacred. Many images of Jesus
and Mary are shown with their sacred hearts exposed. This symbolism can
be
carried over into heart tattoos that express an open and compassionate
nature
with high spiritual ideals. They’re typically called sacred
hearts and can
include the image of Jesus and Mary, but don’t require it.
The heart may be
pierced by thorns or have a bright light radiating from it.
Heart Tattoo
Designs In Different Colors
Just
because
Valentine’s hearts are typically red, doesn’t
mean that heart tattoos have to be red. In actuality, they can be any
color you
want. Many people settle for simple black designs that stand out like
embroidery on skin. Others choose to add blue highlights or any other
color
their imagination can envision.

Tattoo Designs
Heart
tattoos
were even worn by sailors who liked to put
the words “Mom” in the middle. Men’s
heart tattoos are typically larger then
women’s heart tattoos. They take on more variation with the
poisoned or thorned
hearts. Hearts set aflame can indicate a very passionate man.
Other Heart Tattoos
Heart
tattoos
are easily combined with many other motifs giving
them deeper meaning. A heart with stars can indicate fame or abundance.
A gold
heart can be a radiantly blissful and spiritual heart. A hearts with
flowers or
entwined with roses is a deep romantic love. You can make up your own
personal
symbolism with heart tattoos. Some people put their beloved birthstone
color
somewhere in the heart tattoo. There are many ways to customize heart
tattoos
and give them additional meaning, but they don’t all have to
mean something.
Other hearts can just be cute and have no deep symbolism at all.
Many
women
get heart tattoos because of the acceptance of
the symbol and it’s meaning is very clear. It’s
less associated with sexuality
than it is with warm qualities of the soul. It is a beautiful symbol
without
requiring a partner or deep statement to wear.
However,
it can be done as a gesture of commitment to a relationship.
It’s certainly a
very romantic overture when matched by their partner’s
willingness to get a
matching or complementary tattoo. For men, heart tattoos have been
classics for
a long time and will continue to be highly popular for a long time.
