Home to a wide variety of animals and trees that can be both friendly and dangerous, the forest abounds with life and color.
If you grew up in the country or just wish you did, a forest tattoo can celebrate your appreciation of nature at large. There are so many forest animals you can also include to complete this theme.
You can utilize friendly animals like deer, rabbits and birds if you want a tattoo that evokes peaceful or lighthearted themes, or you can feature wolves, poison ivy and bears if you want a more dangerous flavor.
The forest is also a symbol of inner reflection, since its dense trees can be a dark, quiet place where one can go to reflect on life. So many elements belong in a forest, such as babbling brooks and fallen branches, and can be included to create a sense of introspection that may be important to you at a certain stage of life.
A forest can also symbolize a journey to find your inner self, which is sometimes laden with creatures and obstacles large and small. A tattoo featuring an outcropping of trees with a path leading into it may be perfect for this particular theme.
Many forests look different during the different seasons, so consider whether you want a barren, wintry scene or the lush, green foliage of springtime.
Your forest tattoo can go everywhere placement-wise, too. An arm or upper thigh could be perfect, though the back works as well.
