Couple Tattoos: A Symbolic Promise
Dreaming of a small token to represent your connection? A couple’s tattoo is more than just ink—it's a quiet promise, etched onto skin. I often find inspiration in the ancient stories of my culture, where bonds with nature and loved ones are deeply valued.
Drawing from Aboriginal Art
Traditional Aboriginal art beautifully uses dots to depict landscapes, animals, and ancestral beings. Each dot isn't just a mark; it carries meaning, representing a piece of the larger story. This approach lends itself wonderfully to couple’s tattoos.
Symbolic Designs for Your Journey
We can translate this concept into symbols that reflect your shared journey. Imagine two intertwined figures rendered in simple dot work, or perhaps representations of animals significant to your dreamtime stories. The emu, for example, embodies nurturing qualities, while the kangaroo symbolizes strength and partnership.
Keeping it Small & Meaningful
A smaller design allows us to really focus on that symbolic meaning—it’s about the story, not intricate details.
Earthy Tones & Inspiration
Consider earthy tones – ochre, red earth, and deep blues—to evoke the feeling of the Australian landscape. These colours add another layer of depth to your tattoo.
