It says that you are beautiful and strong inside and out with a depth that others can only guess at.
The tree of life image has appeared in paintings, jewelry and yes body art for hundreds of years. In Norse mythology it is called the world tree, or Yggdrasil, and all of life is derived from it. Some Celtic lore also believes that we are descended from the tree of life and that it singlehandedly keeps the world in balance.
When fitted into a circular shape, this design can be inked almost anywhere on the body. Alternately, if you’re wanting to cover a big space like your back, then you can let the tree spread its branches. You can even grow and add to it over time. Since trees represent a long life and bright future, it only makes sense that your own tree tattoo has the potential to evolve.
