Pondering on what to get at your next inking appointment? Check these stronger tattoo designs, and you might just find a winner.
Tattoos are a medium to express oneself.
When it comes to the journey of getting stronger, each human has gone through it, albeit with their unique experiences.
Strength is a word that can have many different connotations. Strength does not necessarily need to imply physical strength. It can also be about the inner strength of an individual. Similarly, getting stronger is not always about building up your body muscles; it also has to do with working on your brain muscles. It is a continuous process of making mistakes and learning from them, and getting better one day at a time. Since the concept of strength is open to interpretation, so will the tattoo design. Therefore, there is a lot of room to personalize these tattoo ideas so you can show who you are through a visual representation.
Stronger Together Tattoo
This is a tattoo idea with a very powerful meaning. There are two hands inked on the arm. Each hand appears to hold tight to the other to not let go. The image is very realistic, with the deft usage of shading to make the tattoo look life-like. The piece is compact and detailed, which is a tougher task to handle. Hence, get the best tattoo artist you can find to nail the piece to perfection.
The two hands represent the bond between two people, or in other words, the family bonds. The hands are holding with all their might show how familial bonds are stronger than any other. It also sends the message that people can be stronger in the company of each other. Therefore, this piece can also be inked as a pair of matching tattoos.
Strength Symbol Tattoo
If you like subtle suggestions more, then this tattoo is created just for you. The symbol inked is a Celtic one. It is called ‘Amor incondicional’. Those words translate to unconditional love. There are three loops divided along a cross, with an open circular shape on the bottom left corner. Two extra lines crossing each other are present in the middle of the symbol, which is usually absent. These indicate the four cardinal points present in a compass, with the ‘N’ hinting at the North direction.
The Celtic sign stands for beautiful symbolism. It looks at the power of love as the greatest strength. It is a good reminder of how love can overpower everything and unite the world indicated by the cardinal points of the compass. Besides, since the symbol is simple, it can be completed in a quick session, making this if you are on a time crunch.
It Is Not Over Yet Tattoo
The tattoo may look simple at first glance, but it carries heavy implications. There is a semicolon followed by the word ‘stronger’ written on it. The tiny tattoo is present on the inner wrist. The area closest to the palm is particularly sensitive. Hence, if you have low pain tolerance, you should change the placement of the tattoo.
A semicolon in the literature indicates the sentence is not yet over. Keeping that in mind, a semicolon on the wrist is the mark of a survivor who has dealt with suicide, depression, or other mental illnesses. It stands for their struggle and final triumph, where they refused to give up. The word stronger under the semicolon further drives the message home. It hints at how the person has found the courage to fight to become mentally stronger every day constantly.
Resilience As Lotus Tattoo
This back tattoo commands both power and elegance at the same time. There is a neat outline of the lotus flower with some details in the petals. The stem winds down with leaves until we find a word lettered at the end. It reads ‘strength’. At the top of the flower, parts of the stem are seen growing, reaching for the sky.
For women looking for delicate tattoo ideas, this feminine piece is bound to get your attention. Lotus is a symbol of strength in Buddhism. This is because it shows sheer perseverance by surviving against terrible living conditions in muddy water. The person with this tattoo tries to tell how they have conquered all fear and kept their faith to keep moving forward and getting stronger until they could also grow into a beautiful lotus.
Lion Family Tattoo
On this amazing tattoo, there is a male lion present at the back. Only the face of the animal is visible at the top of his cub. A little cub stares as it places its paw on the huge pawprint of a lion. The work spreads from the wrist to the elbow. It is finished with realistic details, which make it seem as though both are going to jump and come out of the picture at any moment. No doubt, you need the support of an experienced tattoo artist to get this piece right.
Lion is an animal long associated with courage and power. The picture suggests a parent’s hope for their child to grow stronger in wisdom and strength, just like the cub is ready to follow in the pawprints of his father.
Tribal Bracelet Tattoo
If you were looking for an ornamental tattoo to wear, this is one way to go about it. Man or woman, this ornament can be spotted by anybody. The inspiration for this tattoo is from traditional Polynesian tattoos. Against the background of a black strip, lines have been drawn in a zigzag pattern making triangular incisions. The bold play of black and white on this pattern makes this tattoo stand out. This is a pair for a father and son duo, a perfect way to symbolize their bond with their heritage.
The pattern is a symbol of the mountains. On the other hand, Maoris also believed it represented the ascent of Tāwhaki to heaven. Mountains are like a symbol of utter power in nature. The ascent, on the other hand, stood for similar values since the semi-supernatural being a hard time finishing the journey. So, this pair of tattoos is to inspire both son and father to stay strong always and reach for the stars.
Personal Strength Quote Tattoo
On the inner arm of the body, a quote is inked, which looks as though someone scribbled it with a pencil. The touch of a casual font adds to the charm of this tattoo. The quote tattoo reads, ‘I am the master of my mind’. Even though the tattoo may look easy, lettering takes great skill. Hence, look for artists with good years on them for a picture-perfect job.
The quote holds a deep meaning. Being strong mentally is a greater strength than any. Any past mental hurt takes much longer to heal. Hence, the tattoo is like a reminder to the individual who has won the mental battle many times to never give up no matter what obstacles lay in their path and to keep getting stronger each day at a time.
Infinity Symbol With Quote Tattoo
Ankle tattoos will always be sexy. This dainty piece exudes elegance. An infinity sign is present on the skin, with something written within it. When you move closer, you can read the word ‘stronger’ etched with black ink. The ankle is an extremely sensitive spot and therefore hurts more than usual. So, if you want to avoid the pain, you can get it inked elsewhere as well.
The message sent by this quote tattoo is beautiful. Getting strong is not a one-time process. With each new challenge, an individual can get stronger, both mentally and physically. That is the drive that the tattoo hints at. That an individual needs to constantly work hard to get stronger without accepting defeat.
Eagle For Power Tattoo
For this tattoo, we have a regal creature like an eagle. The one tattooed appears to be chasing after prey. Its claws are in the front as though it is about to pick something from the ground. The details on the body of the bird are impeccable.
When it comes to an animal, the lion is a symbol of bravery and strength. Similarly, eagles represent strength among birds. With its sharp eyes, it can see far better than most creatures, adding to its power. The individual with the tattoo also wishes to be like the king of the skies. The tattoo is a reminder that at times when you are alone, you have to get stronger for yourself.
Upside Down Quote Tattoo
This is an interesting tattoo that makes you look twice. The quote tattoo has stronger written on it capitalized. However, it is written upside down. This is a tattoo truly meant for the wearer. Since the tattoo is compact, it is great for people who are getting inked for the first time.
Since the lettering is all on the opposite side, it can be easily read by the wearer. This is the exact intention of the tattoo. It is to remind the one with the tattoo that they are a strong person. Hence, it is inked from a perspective so they can read it clearly rather than anybody else. So, if you tend to forget occasionally how much you are capable of as well, this tattoo is just perfect for you.
Cool tattoo ideas can be a vehicle to tell your story to the world. We are sure you can also find something from this all-encompassing tattoo theme of being a strong individual.
