What starts out small, and takes a few decades to grow into their fullest form? We’ll give you a hint; they can provide a day’s supply of oxygen for four people. If you’re still clueless, we’re talkin’ about our planet’s wonderful trees! Since there is an insane amount of different types out there, we won’t be able to provide you with tattoo meanings for each. However, feel free to hit up this link for an article that goes into depth about the religious and cultural ties to tree tattoos, a breakdown of components included in tree tattoos and various types of trees with their corresponding meanings! With summer coming to an end and fall approaching, the trees around will soon be putting on a show with their beautiful multi-coloured, changing leaves! That’s of course unless you’re lucky enough to live in a climate that is warm all year round. Check out our fave tree inkbox designs that will help get you in touch with your roots.
Fir
In Celtic culture, Fir trees symbolize honesty, truth, and forthrightness due to how it grows in a straight and narrow fashion.
Elma
Although we do enjoy the changing leave colours during fall, we also wouldn’t be opposed to living somewhere nice and warm to see these beauties around. Nothing screams tropical vibes more than palm trees.
Fargesia
Fargesia is a species of bamboo, it holds the title of “gentleman” among other plants. It is a symbol of virtue and is always closely related to people with positive spirits.
Orotund
Similar to the Fir design we featured earlier, but on a larger scale! For those looking for the same simplistic design but for a larger space. Orotund is a word to express something full, strong, round, and imposing.
Willow
Willow trees are known to encapsulate freedom, healing, and love lost. They also have mystical meanings and symbolism behind them. Which reminds us, does anyone remember Weeping Willow from Harry Potter?! One magical tree we definitely would not want to mess with.
Kirchhoff
For all you tech-savvy peeps out there, this one's for you! A cool circuit inspired tree if you’re looking for an alternative take on nature. This design was named after Gustav Kirchoff, a German physicist who contributed to the understanding of electoral circuits, spectroscopy, and the emission of black-body radiation.
Gallivant
Travelers are dreamers who make their desire for adventure a reality.
Gold Coast
Part of our exclusive collection with Alli Simpson, this cute lil palm tree would be perfect to sport on your next tropical getaway!
Gondor
In Tolkien’s high fantasy universe of Middle-earth, the White Tree of Gondor stood as a symbol of Gondor in the Court of the Fountain in Minas Tirith.
Hornbeam
“If you look closely at a tree you’ll notice it’s knots and dead branches, just like our bodies. What we learn is that beauty and imperfection go together wonderfully.” - Matthew Fox
