Tattoos that show the pine tree with its roots represent the individual person being supported by her family (whether it be the family of one’s birth or a “found family” of friends and loved ones).
A pine tree with a strong, thick trunk represents hardiness and a strong instinct to survive no matter the circumstances.
White pine trees symbolize serenity. In the Shinto religion of Japan, pine trees are said to be a way to ascend to heaven.
Pine trees can also be incorporated into a mourning tattoo or tattoo in memoriam of a lost loved one. Mourning tattoos usually represent the pine tree as being bare, without its evergreen pine needles.
However, a pine tree without needles may also represent youth or growth. Pine cones can also be used to symbolize new life, a new beginning or the idea of regeneration.
A pine tree tattoo can easily be incorporated with a wide variety of other symbols, especially symbols from nature. Pine tree tattoo designs can include the sun or moon, birds, wolves, deer, mountains or other outdoor imagery.
A woman’s pine tree tattoo can be a meaningful symbol of her connection to nature and the natural world. Pine trees can also be a symbol of giving life, since trees create the oxygen we need to live.
The long, thin outline of the pine tree lends itself easily to tattooing on many different parts of the body. A tall pine tree could be made into a side tattoo, or a smaller pine tree could be the beginning of a forearm tattoo sleeve.
