The symbolic heart tattoo
The best known variant is the simple red heart, it is usually engraved with a black outline. This symbol stands for love and affection in general.
It gets more personal if, for example, a band with names is added in the old-school tattoo style. This fall, the heart should express love for this person.
Couples like to have their partner's name or both of their names operated on into a heart to show their connection.
If everyone wears a different half of the heart tattoos that belong together to another, this can symbolize, for example, a distant one. Half the heart stands for the longing for the row, the same distance, everyone who always belongs to one part of the other. A popular spot for a new tattoo is the forearm.

In general, the flames represent the intense heat of passion of a particular devoted love. The fire shows particularly intense feelings. But here the deeper meaning changes with the design:
- Heart tattoo with flame up
This symbol stands for the positive power of love, for a life together and the hope that love will last forever.

It is a very old symbol and comes from seafaring. It stands for faith in God (cross) and the hope that he will hold the ship back safely in the harbor (anchor), where the beloved can embrace after a long and determined journey (heart).
- Heart tattoo with lock
The locked heart tattoo basically has a positive meaning. The lock is certain that the wearer will only open his heart to a specific person. Once he has found it, it has so decidedly the key to his heart.
But if, for example, a thick iron chain is wrapped around the heart, it means that the wearer has closed his heart after a great disappointment and lets it close for fear of renewed restriction. Here the lock stands for the hope that there is after all someone who he trusts enough to open his heart again.
