The cherry tattoo is a bona fide sexy symbol in body art linked to sexuality, sensuality, and desire. They are most often colorful yet simple designs, with cherry tattoo ideas made for positivity.

Cherry fruit tattoos look great as standalone pieces but can combine with other images or utilize a range of innovative ideas to add further meaning. They are great companion pieces for other tattoo designs. 

When co-opted into designs with skulls, their positive meaning of sensuality, health, and happiness is replaced by the element of duality.

For those looking to create a contrast from the established sexy, sunny summer fruit, a more brooding connotation can be created through using elements such as skulls, eyeballs, and more macabre imagery to create a different themed yet no less entrancing symbolic design.

Check out this cool collection of top 27 cherry tattoo ideas that can create inspiration for your own design.
