Tattoo Placement, Color, and Style<\/h2>\n
![\"Placement,](\"https:\/\/www.saved-tattoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Placement-Color-and-Style.jpg\" "\\"\\"")
Saved Tattoo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n Before we dig into our very <\/em>long list of popular tattoos and their meanings, you need to know some other important factors that matter:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Placement<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 where the tattoo is on the body has significant meaning, especially if it\u2019s placed somewhere symbolic like over the heart, behind the ear, or in a private area of the body.<\/li>\n
- Color<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 with symbols and flowers especially, the color of the tattoo can completely change the meaning. A red rose symbolizes romantic love and passion, for example, while a blue rose is often used to symbolize unattainable love.<\/li>\n
- Style <\/strong><\/a>\u2013 certain tattoo styles carry further meaning. A black panther could represent a connection to nature and prowess when inked in the American Traditional style\u2026 or it could just be a homage to Marvel\u2019s Black Panther movie! The style is a good indicator of meaning here.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
You can\u2019t always guess what a tattoo means just by looking at it. To ask someone what their tattoo means, first try to start a conversation about their tattoos in general. \u201cHey man, awesome tattoos!\u201d<\/p>\n
If they respond positively, go ahead and ask about the meaning behind their ink. If they don\u2019t seem interested in talking about their tatts, don\u2019t push any further. Some tattoos can hold very deep, profound, and even painful meanings and memories that people prefer to keep private. It\u2019s just tattoo etiquette<\/a>!<\/p>\n
