summary cherry tattoos by: nie

Cherry Tattoos have been popular among women for decades and still retain this popularity today. The cherry tattoo is considered by many to be the universal symbol of beauty and love and in ancient times, the cherry tree symbolized wealth, happiness, health and fertility. Fruit trees were also seen as symbols of temptation and evil and in western society today the cherry is equated with virginity. Perhaps these concepts of forbidden fruit and fertility have led many women to see cherry tattoos as an expression of sexuality putting them on their hips, inner thigh and groin area.

In addition to cherry tattoos many women are wearing cherry blossom tattoos.. Some women place cherry blossom tattoos in visible areas such as the lower back or their sides while at the same time having a cherry tattoo in a more discreet location.

Wherever you decide to put your cherry tattoo it is very important to consider the safety issues surrounding the creation of a tattoo.
