The olive branch also represents clarity, so anyone that has an easy time simplifying things in their minds are great candidates for these tattoos. This is a skill that should be celebrated, so people often put these olive branch tattoos where everyone can see them. What’s great about this “clarity” meaning is that it is attached to the tattoo itself, so you can even look at your design whenever you need clarity.

The olive branch tattoo is also sometimes used as a matching tattoo. When two people get olive branches, it shows that they have love between them and that their special bond cannot be broken. Unlike many matching tattoos, the olive branch is not split up between the two designs, but instead is matched lined for line on both bodies. You can even shrink these designs down to get matching tattoos on your fingers!

There are a lot of symbols of purity and chastity, but the olive branch gives people a unique way to show their pride in those qualities. This is often meant to be a personal meaning, so we recommend only getting your olive branch tattoo on a visible part of your body with this meaning attached if you also happen to use other meanings. Of course, if you are very proud of these meanings, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with showing that pride by putting your olive branch design on your arm or anywhere else that everyone can see it.

Many of those olive branch tattoo meanings are quite different than the others, but you don’t have to worry about that. You can use one, two, or as many of the meanings as you want to. The key is to find at least one meaning that truly defines who you are as a person and is something that you are proud to call a personal trait. If you do find more than one olive branch meaning that makes sense for you, then this is definitely a tattoo that you should get.
