Whether you opt for a the simple outline of a heart, have a stylized version such as a tribal theme, a graphically orientated pixilated design or a luscious red, plump heart, all heart tattoos will point to the same theme- Love!

Many of you may wonder why the heart is associated with feelings and emotions, even though we known that all emotions stem from the brain. Why is the heart shaped symbol the most revered of all love symbols?


Well in ancient times it was thought that the heart was were all emotions and sensations came from. When you are excited, anxious or nervous, the area were you are likely to perceive a strong sensation is inside your chest;  your pounding heart. You don’t feel anything inside your skull. Your brain doesn’t suddenly feel a sudden rush of excitement and anxiety does not create a physical sensation in your head.

Instead when u experience any strong emotion it is the left side of your chest which feels like its going to burst, your pulse which is quickened and your face which turns red, and it is the heart which is responsible for all three sensations! So you see associating the heart with love which is all about feelings and emotions is not a completely inaccurate association!

Couple Heart Tattoos


Heart tattoos for couples,  in the form of a heart shaped sign with a dent at the top has always been a popular trend, where both partners will ink a heart in the same part of their body or will each have half a heart inked on their hands which becomes whole only when  both hands interlock.

Heart shaped signs are seen with wings which symbolizes a heart full of content and light weightiness and represents a love that has set them free. Heart shaped signs with an arrow across symbolizes being love struck and the sweet agony that accompanies it. Double hearts usually represents the two partners in love.

Literal Heart Tattoos

Now although it is the common heart shaped sign with a dent at the top which is most commonly seen as heart tattoos, many people choose to ink literal heart tattoos, and in my opinion are more vivid and a lot weightier in their message. A pounding heart, with all its intricacies, the blood and the veins makes for a breath taking visual.

It sends across a certain depth and a certain rawness, two words that make love more profound.

I have came across literal heart tattoos which have the image of their other half inked inside it and when done properly they are just out of this world.

Heart Beat I’m Alive


Rather than going for a literal heart tattoo or a heart shaped sign many people choose to ink a heartbeat instead. A heartbeat can pertain to love but it can also point towards a zest for life. I once knew a guy who had a heartbeat inked and the quote “life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the moments that take our breath away”. about People who will choose to ink a heartbeat are individuals who want to make each breath count and living life to the fullest.

Heart tattoos although all about love, can be inked to convey different emotions around love. You can create something serious and deep like inking a literal heart tattoo, or you can create something sweet and airy like the outside of a heart shaped sign or a heart with wings. You can go from a red heart symbolizing love, a multicolored heart conveying a love and zest for life or even a black heart denoting the idea of loss in love and a lack of feeling.  Hopefully the latter will not appeal to you all that much!
