Skyline tattoos are some of the most iconic pieces you can find today. They are immediately recognizable and show the pride you have for your city. If you want to represent a city that you grew up in or a city that you moved to and have fallen in love with, then a skyline tattoo might be the perfect tattoo for you. The reason that most people get an iconic skyline tattoo to represent that city is because most people find skylines to be very identifiable. This doesn’t mean that you have to be from that city but usually when you see a skyline tattoo, it means that the person has some sort of roots there. Even people who grew up in the surrounding area of a major downtown will get that skyline because it shows everyone you are from around that area. This can be the case with skylines such as Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, Miami, San Diego and Seattle. These are all skylines we have seen in movies or in millions of paintings and drawings all around the world.

A skyline tattoo consists of beautiful skyscrapers along with quintessential and sometimes historic landmarks. These skyscrapers and stunning landmarks display a location that a person wanting to get a skyline tattoo wants to proudly claim as their home or favorite place to visit.For example,if you see the Chrysler Tower and Empire State building in a skyline tattoo, you can probably assume that the wearer is from New York or at least has some roots there. If you see a massive needle piercing the sky from an odd looking floating UFO as part of a skyline tattoo, then it would be safe to say that the wearer hails from Seattle.

Another reason people choose to get skyline tattoos is to represent their favorite vacation spot ro destination that is significant to them. If you like to take yearly trips to Boston for St Paddy’s day,then maybe you will choose to get the Boston City Skyline as a forearm tattoo. Then everytime you look down, you remember how much you love that city and can’t wait to return.
