Heart and Sword Tattoo

The heart and sword tattoo is almost the same things thing as the heart and dagger, but the dagger might be a little longer. The idea is the same and doesn’t detract from the meaning of the tattoo, but it gives it a different look. Someone with this tattoo might be a fan of the era of royalty with knights and horses. The image could refer to the Middle Ages or it might just be a different look.

Traditional Heart and Dagger Tattoo

The traditional heart and dagger tattoo is what you will most likely see when coming upon this tattoo. This version seems to be the most popular way to get the tattoo and it most likely correlates with how far the back the symbol goes and how far back American traditional tattooing goes. If you want a solid version of this tattoo, go with the traditional version.

Realistic Heart and Dagger Tattoo

However, if you want to get a little more creative with your choice, go with a realistic version of the heart and dagger tattoo. If you find the right artist, this image can be a bit jarring, but you will really show others that your heartbreak or feelings on the subject are strong and as graphic as the image on your body. Make sure you find an artist that is able to handle realism and you will have yourself a unique heart and dagger tattoo.

On the other hand, many of us don’t really know what we want. We might know the image, but the exact details might be hazy. In this case, sit down with your artist and have a consultation about your options and what they are comfortable doing. If you have trouble finding an artist in your area, we would be more than happy to give you a recommendation.
