Tattoos
telling of one person's love for another have transcended the test of time, and
over the centuries, and across continents men and women have gotten tattoos to
express their love for someone. These tattoos come in many forms that include
the loved one's name surrounded by hearts, Celtic love knots, or tribal designs
that tell the story of the affection that was - or may have been but tragedy
intervened. There are so many symbols of this feeling around the world, and
there are 10 reasons to get love tattoos to show your affection for someone (or
something else).
Reasons and Symbols
- Roman mythology's Cupid was
known as the love god since ancient Roman times. Having the cupid tattoo
design along with the name of the beloved says that they are the love for
all times that always continues. For those hit by Cupid's arrow, love is
consuming and unrelenting and people who love mythology find this one of
the greatest designs.
- The Heart shape has been a
symbol of love across all continents, and identifies the passion that one
soul has for another that endures. Getting a heart with the loved one's
name says the power of the love is like the heart beating every day,
strong and steady and constant.
- Sometimes getting a love tattoo
represents someone who has left this life, a parent, sibling, spouse, and
child - someone who has meant a great deal to the person and needs to be
remembered every day. Encircling their name in a design that's meaningful
to the person helps keep their memory alive.
- Another great symbol that is
used in love tattoos is a dove. Doves represent nurturing, devotion,
peace, and a promise of hope that resonates with many people regarding the
person they love. Doves are often said to be messengers from God, and what
better way to show a deep and abiding love of someone than to embrace
their name with a dove.
- Aphrodite was the embodiment of
the mother of love, and one of the great symbols to put with a name of
someone truly beloved, and what greater person to symbolize undying love
for another.
- Some people get Love tattoos of
a beloved pet that has meant so much to them. Just about everyone has had
a pet they truly bonded with, and feel they will never love another as
much as that one angel they were blessed to love. For some having the
tattoo of that pet makes them feel that strong bond long after the beloved
pet is gone.
- For others, getting a custom
tattoo design of a great love means, they will also feel that special
feeling about the other person, and have a way to tell the world.
- Celtic love knots have some of
the most beautifully intricate patterns that tell the world the love for
that person can never be unraveled.
- Tribal love tattoos are
elaborate in design and tell of the enduring love for the other.
- Finally, others get a love
tattoo just because they are simply beautiful and irresistible.
