50 Empowering & Beautifully Meaningful Tattoos
Tattoos can have deep meaning, a permanent reminder of something powerful in life or an experience that cannot and should not be forgotten. Many times, tattoos can give people a feeling of empowerment, a design that inspires and reminds them of something they have overcome. We were very inspired by this gorgeous collection of tattoos, each with a powerful visual that shows strength and beauty.
Sometimes the meaning behind tattoos are very obvious -- we can see the triumph not only in design but the feeling it evokes. Other times, tattoos can be just a design someone loved and thought was beautiful -- there certainly is power in that, too. But many times there are intricate and often delicate stories within the choice. Some feature meaningful symbols or talismans, others contain colors that provoke emotions, and some are so spiritual that the meaning is complex and layered.
