Wave Tattoo

Water can be calm, or it can be angry. When getting a tattoo of a wave crashing down, you might be dealing with overwhelming emotions that might drown you if you don’t deal with it. However, the wave isn’t always a thing to worry about for the wearer of this tattoo. The wave tattoo can also represent a specific moment or place in your life. It might also symbolize a love for the water or surfing. The idea of the wave tattoo is to represent the power of water.

Waterfall Tattoo

Like most forms of water, the waterfall can be peaceful and calming or almighty and powerful. It shows you the ebbs and flows of life. You can either be showing signs of beauty as the waterfall is a sight to see or, you might be representing an inner power that is as strong as a waterfall.

Waterfalls tend to be carved out of mountains so when you see one, you know it has been there for a long time. Therefore, the waterfall tattoo can represent wisdom. If you stand under a waterfall, you might be able to hear whispers from ancient voices.

River Tattoo

The river, like many water themed tattoos, shows us the power of water. It also shows us the flow of the river and the way the water follows that path and moves around anything in it’s path. A river tattoo is a great way to represent the idea of moving forward. It also represents “going with the flow”. There are many transitions in life and you shouldn’t run from these. You were meant to go through them, so the river tattoo is a great reminder to just go with the current and if you do, you are bound to come out the other side a changed person.

Whatever water themed tattoo you want to get, know that you are getting a symbol inked on your body that has a great deal of symbolism. Decide on what design works best for you and if you need to find an artist and you aren’t sure on how to do it, let us know.
