Ivy Tattoo Photo #4386

Ivy is one of the most enduring plants in nature: evergreen, climbing, and nearly impossible to stop once it takes hold. As a tattoo subject, ivy carries meanings of immortality, loyalty, friendship, and quiet persistence.

Minimalist tattoos use clean lines and open space to convey meaning with as few elements as possible. The restrained approach keeps the focus on shape and composition rather than detail.

The inner arm offers a soft, relatively flat surface that suits detailed and sensitive designs. It's a semi-private placement, visible only when the arm is turned or raised.
