Tree is one of the most popular images used in artistic tattooing. Masters today provide a wide selection of sketches - from miniatures to large-scale drawings on the entire back.

The meaning of the tree tattoo

The image symbolizes life, health and longevity, as well as stability. In the ancient religious beliefs of many peoples, a tree meant a kind of bridge between heaven and earth. Whatever style it is depicted in, the drawing invariably contains a positive context.

What do certain types of trees mean?

The image of a palm tree symbolizes peace, an oak tree - strength and courage, an apple tree - beauty, youth and temptation. Spruce or pine tattooed on the skin is a sign of health and longevity.

Sketches are made in the techniques of graphics, sketching, blackwork, dotwork, and watercolor. Sometimes the drawing is designed in the Polynesian style, which means it serves as a kind of talisman.

The image is presented in both black and white and color.

On what part of the body is it better to get a tree tattoo?

If the drawing is enclosed in a round “frame”, it looks very beautiful on the back. Often, images of trees are emblazoned on the forearms, wrists, ankles, and less often on the ribs.
