Trees are often very large, so to get the best effect from one of these tattoos - it's good to set aside a large area for one. For example, having a tree tattoo along your leg, arm, or better still - across your entire back, is often the best way to get the true power and artistic effect of these designs.
So what kinds of designs are available? Some of the most beautiful tree designs are influenced by Japanese culture. Cherry trees and blossoms feature prominently in these tattoos, and they have a very peaceful and serene feel to them. These designs are also packed with meaning, such as the cycle of life, regeneration, and even enlightenment.
Celtic tree tattoos are also popular in this category. These designs are full of Celtic symbolism. The trees in these designs tend to have a more spiritual feel. Perhaps this is because the Celts believed that the trees had spirits of their own, and were genuine living beings themselves.
If you want a smaller tree tattoo, then a good location is to have one of the back of the neck. This is a nice focal point for a small tattoo like this. Alternatively, you can choose the side of your body, or a forearm. The cherry blossom trees in particular can look very good in this location. Alice Farrell
