Tattoos on the shoulders and elbows are an excellent way to showcase boldness and femininity simultaneously. Line designs work particularly well due to the negative space, which lengthens their outline.
Knight’s Armor: Symbol of Protection and Strength
A suit of armor represents protection and strength. It comprises various parts such as breastplates, pauldrons, vambraces, gauntlets, and faulds. Knights donned helmets with distinctive crests and chain mail coats called coifs. Dreams featuring armor may be a sign to stand up for yourself or defend your beliefs.
The Solar System: Exploring Our Observable Universe
The Solar System is the collective of objects orbiting around the Sun, comprising its core (the Sun), seven planets, asteroids, gas giants, comets, and other icy bodies. It was created 13.7 billion years ago during the Big Bang and has since grown into our observable universe.
Bird: Symbol of Freedom and Spirituality
Birds have long been symbols of freedom, healing, and spirituality. They can also represent loved ones who have passed or guardian angels. Shoulder Tattoos with birds allow for intricate designs, such as geometric patterns or representations of maritime adventures.
Tulip: Symbol of Faith, Love, and Respect
Tulips symbolize faith, love, hope, and respect. Red tulips, in particular, symbolize true or perfect love. They can be gifted to romantic partners, used as anniversary presents, or offered appreciation tokens for friends. White tulips may be used to pay respect to someone who has passed.
Floral Wreath: Adding Delicacy to a Bold Design
An elegant wreath can add a delicate element to an otherwise bold tattoo design, providing a softer aesthetic. Wreaths have long been used as symbols of mourning, representing life’s cycle and the continuation of souls after physical death.
Kite: Symbol of Change and Freedom of Spirit
A kite is an iconic symbol of change and transformation, representing freedom of spirit and taking risks. Kite tattoos can serve as reminders of faith or as memorials for loved ones who have passed. They can beautifully balance out an arm when tattooed on the shoulder bone.
Rose: Creative Expression on a Larger Canvas
Shoulders offer a large canvas for tattoo designs, from delicate line art to bold and impactful statements. Angel Tattoos are a popular choice for shoulder tattoos, representing religious or secular meanings, such as the loss of a loved one or the concept of a guardian angel. Snakeskin or octopus Tattoos can also embody strength and power.
Word or Phrase: Adding Meaning and Value
Word Tattoos are a popular way to add meaning and value to an art piece. They can include quotes, mantras, song lyrics, or symbols representing goals. Removable word Tattoos offer a striking statement about our identities, especially when cleverly placed. For example, Ghinko’s “pray” design uses its words in an eye-catching flower illustration for added interest and privacy.
