Symbols

Some ideas express themselves better through symbols than in sentences. A star conveys the idea of ambition, the lotus plant the growth experience, and the infinity symbol can denote something that seems infinite. Inkbolt combines these concepts in wearable designs in the form of semi permanent tattoos for those seeking meaningful designs without being bound permanently.

What Are Symbol Tattoos?

Symbol tattoos are simple or elaborate designs that convey a particular idea, feeling, belief, memory, or personal relationship. They differ from traditional text tattoos in having meaning known only to the wearer.

Examples include hearts, stars, moons, arrows, floral designs, zodiac designs, spiritual icons, infinity symbols, eye designs, crown designs, and nature-inspired designs. The smallest tattoo can have significant meaning.

Choose a Symbol That Means Something to You

A good tattoo need not always be the most fashionable one. Consider what you hope your tattoo design would bring to mind.

Looking for an illustration of personal growth? You can consider going for a butterfly, lotus or a rising sun. If you need a representation of guidance, an arrow, a compass or a star will be more suitable. If your tattoo is meant to represent friendship or love, then a heart shape or an infinity symbol will be easy choices.

Alternatively, you may pick an illustration that represents a significant moment in your life, a philosophy that interests you, or something that you just like. Your tattoo does not always have to have some deeper meaning.

Small Designs or Bold Statements?

Your size considerations should take into account both the design and its placement.

Small designs can be placed beautifully on the wrist, fingers, ankles, or behind your ear. It provides a clean look that can easily be incorporated into any jewelry collection or tattoo design.

For detailed designs, however, allow yourself plenty of room. The forearm, upper arm, shoulders and calves are all places that can accommodate a bigger piece.

Try the Idea Before Going Permanent

Getting a permanent tattoo requires careful consideration if you have doubts about the symbol, size, and location of the tattoo. Semi-permanent tattoos provide an easy way to test whether you are ready for a tattoo.

Inkbolt tattoos may last for up to two weeks depending on various factors, including skin type, tattoo location, friction, bathing, and tattoo care. The ink will slowly fade, providing you with a chance to appreciate the design without making a commitment.

It may be helpful before your first permanent tattoo or for temporary tattoos for celebrations or travel.

Think About Location Before Choosing the Symbol

The symbol may change its appearance depending on the location. A small moon may look good on the wrist while a bigger sun or flower may look better on the upper arm.

Consider the level of friction of the chosen location as it might wear out faster.

Make Your Symbol Unique

It is not mandatory to follow everyone else’s trends and fashion styles. Wear your symbol because it is related to you and you like it or because it brings a smile to your face.

With Inkbolt, you can experiment with semi permanent tattoos and try various symbols until you decide which of them should become a permanent part of you. Often, a tiny symbol becomes an embodiment of some big idea.
