The black rose

If you wanted to get a flower tattoo but wanted to stick with black ink only, then the black rose tattoo could be perfect for you. These floral designs come with a couple of very deep meanings. You can get one of these black tattoos to show that you are trying to do the impossible in your life, or you might get one to show that you are mourning the loss of someone very important to you. Either way, this can be one of the more beautiful black tattoo designs that you can get.

The Japanese lettering

Here’s yet another black tattoo idea that can work well for just about anyone. Most people get their Japanese word tattoos in black ink anyways, so you won’t have to alter this design in any way. The meaning behind your Japanese word tattoo comes down to the words themselves, so it’s a good idea to think of exactly what type of meaning you want to get across and find the symbols that make up that meaning. These black tattoos work well all over the body, including the wrist or even straight down your spine.

The tree

Want a great black tattoo that both looks beautiful and has meanings that just about everyone can use? Then you’ll definitely want to at least look into the tree tattoo. Trees represent life, rejuvenation, and family, among other things. You can go in many different directions with your design, from a very small tree outline on your arm to a very large and detailed black tree on your back.

The skull

Most people get their skull tattoos to show that they have accepted their own mortality and are going to make the most of every day. You might also get it to show that you have no fear of death or that you are honoring all of those who have passed away in your life. Regardless of the meanings that you use, the skull is a classic black tattoo that can go anywhere on your body. Most people prefer to get their skulls as black tats since black is the preferred color to use when doing any type of death tattoo.
