Tree Tattoo Designs

A tree has a symbolic and rich historical significance in many cultures. Trees have been mentioned in myths and revered in many religions. They symbolize life and the cycle of life with the withering of leaves in the winter and the rejuvenation of flowers and leaves in the Spring. In Celtic tradition it is said that trees were the ancestors of mankind, had spirits and were living beings. They are symbols of ancient wisdom and connections to the other world too. Hence getting a tree tattoo would have various meanings and look great on any part of the body. Many trees like the cherry blossom, Bodhi, etc have a cultural influence and can be made into great tattoo designs. Take a look at some extraordinary tree tattoo designs mentioned below.

Family Tree Tattoo Designs

Families are important to each one of us. Some people like to get them engraved on their bodies as a tribute to their loved ones. Such tattoo designs can be called family tree tattoos as they have either the names or the faces of family members drawn with a tree in the background. Such tattoos are a challenge for the tattooers as they are very difficult and complicated. Tree tattoo designs with names can be a simple task but it gets harder with the sketches of the faces.

A family tree can have a tribal tree in the background and the faces or the names of your family inscribed on it. A completely black tree would look more attractive than a colored one but the colored takes a lot of art and skill so if you really want to show your family how much you love them, go ahead and get one of these. Family tree tattoos can also be accompanied with other exotic designs like birds or fruits around the tree.

Palm Tree Tattoo Designs

Though the palm tree has no cultural significance as such, it makes a great tree tattoo design. You can have a palm tree on an island, with a dolphin jumping out of the water and the sun setting over the sea as a unique tattoo design. A palm tree with the sun hiding behind its leaves and the seashore beside it can also look beautiful yet simple. If you like having a Gothic tattoo and want it to be one of a kind, you can go for a palm tree in black with birds flying out from the branches while a setting sun in the back.
