A heart outline tattoo – in either the positive (love and friendship) or negative (loss and grief) – is the exact minimalist idea simple ink employs to convey a strong message with little fuss.

In general, outline heart tattoos are quickly etched and deftly executed, although some add a few flourishes to broaden the theme or intensify the message as required.

Development in tattoo artist skillsets and machine/ink innovation has also helped these simple designs go beyond the rudimentary to become quality applications across a range of styles.
