Simple Tattoos

Sometimes, a simple and uncomplicated tattoo can look more appealing or cute than the one with intrinsic designs and patterns. So, let's find out some simple, yet elegant tattoos here.

These are perhaps one of the simplest, yet favorite tattoo designs for both men and women. Star tattoos seem to have a charm of their own, despite the simplicity of their designs.

However, there are many different variations of this tattoo. For example, you can go for the nautical star, or moon star, or the shooting star.

Stars could symbolize different things in different cultures. But the shooting star is usually associated with success, luck, and 'wishes coming true', while the nautical star was once used by the sailors as a symbol of protection and guidance.

You can combine a heart tattoo with red rose, or flames to make it more striking. The cupid heart can also look really adorable.

Apart from these, you can find a number of simple designs created by including a heart. A winged heart, a bleeding heart, a heart with a dagger, or the Celtic heart are some good examples of simple heart tattoos.

Though simple, the butterfly tattoos have a deep symbolic meaning. The way an ugly caterpillar transforms into a beautiful butterfly is seen as a symbol of rebirth and transformation. 

In this regard, such a tattoo can be truly inspirational. Butterflies also stand for freedom and symbolize the soul. In China, two butterflies fluttering together is regarded as a symbol of love.

Butterfly tattoos can look really beautiful, if they are combined with flowers, leaves, and tendrils. However, a simple butterfly tattoo can also look fascinating, especially when it is placed on the ankle or the shoulder.

With increasing popularity of flower symbolism, flower tattoos have become a craze, especially among women who prefer delicate feminine designs.

Some of the most commonly used flowers for making tattoos are roses, lotus, lilies, cherry blossoms, sunflower, peonies, and daisies. Besides their delicate beauty, flowers could mean a lot of things.

For example, roses speak about love and passion, while lotus symbolizes spirituality in both Indian and Chinese culture. Cherry blossoms are usually used in Asian tattoo designs, and they stand for love, beauty, and transitivity of life. Lilies on the other hand, are a symbol of purity.

Flower tattoos can look more adorable when they are combined with vines and tendrils.

These tattoos are mostly preferred by men.

There are many types of crosses, and some of them are religious in nature. For example, the Latin cross is the religious symbol of Christianity, and is perfect for someone wanting to express his or her religious belief. But this is not the only option for a cross tattoo.

Apart from the Latin cross, you can go for the Celtic cross, pre-Christian cross, Gothic cross, and tribal cross tattoos. The cross was the symbol of power in many ancient tribal cultures of the world.

The believers in astrology can find the zodiac tattoos quite simple, yet amazing. 

However, before going for a zodiac tattoo, you may want to have some basic knowledge about the 12 zodiac signs, and the colors and elements associated with them. There are four elements - earth, wind, water, and fire, which are associated with each specific zodiac sign.
