This section is full of Pictures of hearts for tattoos.
Also
see our
photos of heart tattoos section for many
more pics.
The generally accepted
heart shape or symbol is 2 rounded bumps at the top coming to a point
at the bottom ♥.
It is unclear from where from history this symbol originates one
theory that it is simply the shape of an actual human heart or an
animals heart that would be more readily seen but the similarity is
slight. Another theory is that it is loosely derived from the female
form again controversy surrounds the actual part(s) but it is fairly
obvious which are the contenders. Other possibilities are the seed of
a now extinct contraceptive plant and the shape of the male prostrate
gland.
Design to tattoo
Feel free to print the
design you like and take it to your chosen artist for them to copy.
Typically a trace or outline will be made of the picture which will be
transferred to the place on your body to be used then the outline will
be made permanent and then the color applied if required. For more
information see our advice and after care section from the main
navigation bar above.
