The Yin Yang Tattoos

The Yin Yang tattoo is already a popular tattoo but when worn by twins, it really hits the mark. The yin yang are two halves the come together to complete a whole. Together, they mean something is whole that doesn’t need to change. However, when split up, the equilibrium is upset and the wholeness is no longer in existence. These halves chase after the other seeking balance.

In the case of a twin tattoo, this image represents the wholeness the twins have between each other when they are together. One twin will have the yin tattoo while the other has the yang. Therefore, it represents their connection forever. On the other hand, it might represent the difference between the twins. A duality exists between the two but together they have balance.

DNA Double Helix Tattoos

The DNA strand tattoo or the double helix is also a popular choice amongst twins when getting matching tattoos. It’s understandable why this image is tattooed on so many twins. Identical twins are born from a single fertilized egg that happens to split into two different eggs. In DNA for identical twins, there is a 99.99% similarity between the two. Because the twins are so close to the same DNA, it’s nearly impossible to tell the difference between the two. Therefore, you might see TV shows or stories revolve around this concept or how they can’t be told apart. Therefore, the DNA twin tattoo is a representation of their likeness and how similar they are to one another.

Even in the case of non-identical, or fraternal twins, the DNA will be between 50% and 75% similar. Therefore, fraternal twins have good reason to get the DNA strand tattoo as well.

Dates or Quotes Tattoo

Another tattoo that twins might decide to have inked on their body are dates or quotes. Dates being the obvious choice of tattoo as they were both born on the same date. They might get this tattoo in roman numerals, script or any other font but the point is to honor the other with their date of birth.
