Dove Tattoos - Love

When it comes to symbols of love, the dove is right up there with the image of a rose and a heart. In fact in my humble opinion I would put the dove at the top of the list. The dove is a creature, which through its actions warrants a rightful place as being the ultimate love symbol.

Doves are known for only mating with one dove for the entirely of their life. This puts them in an exclusive club as mating with a single partner is rare throughout the animal kingdom. It is no wonder then why doves are depicted in pairs.

Dove tattoos will stand for an everlasting union of love, faithfulness and unbounded loyalty. Dove tattoos are extremely popular with couples who will each get a tattoo of a dove with the name of their partner inked near it. It ties the couple up in a bond till eternity.


Dove Tattoos - The Perfect Emblem For Family


Dove tattoos are a popular tattoo to honor someone special in your family. Doves are known to be extremely family orientated. Once the young are born, both mother and father will take care of them until they are ready to fly. So not only make the perfect symbol for companionship but are also glorified as having formed deep family connections. I find this so endearing especially given that we as humans, sometimes fail to live up to our responsibilities and these creatures do it so with such resolution.  I have seen many dove tattoos which pay homage to many mothers and fathers.

Dove Tattoos - A Symbol Of Motherhood


The dove Is closely associated with Mother Mary and Venus, both divine mothers of their time.  Doves are known to produce a milk like liquid to feed their young which is an unusual trait and have since been tired with being the sacred symbol for motherhood. In Aztec mythology, Xochiquetzal, who is believed to the be mother of humanity. The dove is known to be her companion. If you are a dedicated mother who is proud of her children then dove tattoos are a lovely way to showcase that love and admiration.

Dove Tattoos - New Beginnings And Hope

In The famous biblical story of Noah; ark, the dove had a pivotal role as the bringer of splendid hope and was shown as creature that speaks of new beginnings. In the esteemed story, during the great flood,  god ordered Noah to build an ark for him and his family as well paired animals to safeguard them from the flood.

When the flood came it destroyed the whole world expect for Noah and his arc. After several weeks Noah ordered a dove to search for any traces of life on land. After several days the dove returned with an olive and its branch clenched in its claw, revealing that the world was coming back to life, Dove tattoos that depict a dove with an olive branch signify hope amidst uncertainty, growth amongst barrenness and the start of something new.

Dove Tattoos - Spirituality And Peace


Doves are believed to be messages of god and have been shown to carry scriptures on their necks, connection man to god. Flocks of doves have been shown to be flowing Jesus in various forms of art and as mentioned before the dove is also seen around mother Mary. The link between doves and such important figures in Christianity have earnt them the reputation of being creatures of purity, the vessels of higher knowing and divine faith.

In Celtic myth the dove appears alongside the Japanese war god, Hachiman, Usually gods of war are associated with fierce dominant animals, but the idea of a dove, a peaceful creature, both in temperament and aesthetic, is almost tempting fate to bring peaceful times after emerging victorious in  battle, If you are on a personal mission which is turbulent and unsettling maybe dove tattoos might help you focus on the light at the end of the tunnel, it may tempt fate to bring you the positive result that you seek.
