Vine tattoos are a great design that anybody can have because it can be the main focus of the tattoo or as an enhancement on another design. They can be drawn with great detail on the stems and leaves or as a line that connects leaves and other items. You can get a vine tattoo so small that it fits on your pinky toe or so large that it covers your entire body.
A great use for the vine tattoo is to string together more than one item, such as hearts or flowers. Rose vine tattoos are a good example of this. Roses can have different meanings depending on the color, generally red for love, black for death, yellow for friendship or happiness, etc. The vine in the tattoo design can mean strength and durability as no matter how many times it is cut down, it grows right back.
Another variation is the grape vine tattoo. While the grape may not be the most popular of tattoo designs, it does have some Greek myth to it that means “In wine there is wisdom.” The wine from grapes was considered to be the nectar of the Gods and was seen as the purest essence of godliness. The grape is also seen in Christian drawings to represent the blood of Christ.
Vine tattoo designs can also mean commitment as they connect other things together. Vines are also everlasting, as mentioned above they must be completely destroyed to prevent them from growing back, and even that is no guarantee. Vine tattoos make a great addition to almost any tattoo as they can be incorporated into the design fairly easy. They can also be a masterpiece of their own, twining and twirling all over a specified body part. From connecting hearts to roses to grapes to names, if you are debating your next tattoo design, think about using a vine in some way.
