One of the most timeless tattoo design concepts, the heart most often represents love and affection. The heart in many variations is an enduring tattoo for small designs. 

These days, the heart has expanded beyond expressions of love to incorporate loyalty, friendship, and courage, while a black heart is tied to grief and mourning. 

No matter the placement or style of small tattoo you are looking for, there’s a worthy heart idea you can use as inspiration for your next tattoo.
