My First Tattoo!
 
Hey guys!

I am looking into getting my first tattoo. I want it to be something small, but still meaningful.

I love LOVE. I love being in a relationship, falling in love and out of love, the thing I want most out of life is love, I am living for love.

So obviously, I want to get a tattoo that will symbolize this. I have looked online for some ideas and what people have gotten, but I thought maybe you guys might have some suggestions, ideas, pictures, etc.

Anything is greatly appreciated! :D

Hey Cassie, that's a very deep and complex idea to get a tattoo of... Love can be represented SO many ways.

First of all, I highly highly suggest not getting something like a little heart. It's been done countless times and, in my opinion, isn't all that interesting.
Are there any other languages that you speak? Maybe get the word, "love" in beautiful letters in another language. I also know that there are some old runes for "love" that are incredible to look at.
Think about symbols or languages that mean a lot to you and express love.

Hey, here is a list of ideas that i found that can be used to symbolise love, some seemed abit random but if you look them up it explains why!

Hearts
cupid
roses
doves
apples
harp
swans
shells

Also there is always the option of just getting the word love done in nice lettering. Where are you thinking about having it?

Why not get love in chinese language on you?

If you google it, it is really nice, an ex of mine got it on his back, and it looked well nice.

Eh, it does look nice, but it's as over used as just using a plain heart. Though I've seen someone get a tattoo in braille once, that could be pretty cool.

I have "love" in cursive tattooed on my hip for mainly the same reasons. I honestly think that is the best to have done. I also like it written in just plain simple lettering.

Thanks for the suggestions guys!! I know a heart is overused therefore I am trying to think of other ways.

Yen - What do you mean by old runes? I have never heard of this before. Can you explain or do you have pictures?

Fairy Dust - I have never heard of some of those symbols for love before, I will definitely look it up and check into it!

BabyIndia - I thought of that, although I haven't looked up what it actually looks like yet, so I will do that, it seems like it would be nice.

Donnie - I have never seen it done in braille before, so I am going to try and google images of it!

Briana - Thanks for the suggestion. I have thought of doing the exact same thing although I am not sure where yet exactly!

:)
