With Meaning Tattoos

Tattoos have become increasingly popular as a way of expressing individuality, for both men and women. Most people choose a tattoo that has some personal significance. As people search for the perfect design, creating tattoos with meaning has become an art form.

There are so many different designs to choose from. Among the most popular for women are the traditional flower or butterfly. These types of tattoos have been around for centuries.

Each flower conveys its' own meaning. Both the rose and carnation symbolize love, as do many other flowers. Beauty is expressed through a tattoo represented by a hibiscus, cherry blossom or sunflower. There are a huge variety of butterfly tattoos and they are often chosen because the person is undergoing a change or transformation in her life.

Popular tattoos for men today include tribal tattoos, dragons and more recently, dolphins. Of course, some men still opt for the more traditional type, such as a girlfriend's name, or an anchor. There is a lot of symbolism associated with the many tribal tattoos. Because of this, tribal tattoos are more often chosen for what they stand for, than for their actual appearance.

Getting a dragon tattoo is a statement of power. Dragons represent both positive and negative elements. With a history of mystery and mysticism, a dragon tattoo can symbolism anything from loyalty to fierceness.

Dolphin tattoos represent a positive outlook on life. Wearers of a dolphin tend to have a happy and fun-loving view of things.

Choosing to get a tattoo is an important decision that should not be taken lightly. After all, you'll be wearing it for the rest of your life. Equally important is the choice of what design is right for you. So don't rush into getting that first tattoo. Taking the time to think carefully will help you choose the perfect tattoo for you.
