The fate of the symbolism of an apple tattoo is rather interesting. Nearly the first association emerging when most of the people hear the word “apple” is an “apple of discord”. This came to us from the Greek mythology, where the ripe apple represented princess Diana. However, modern apple tattoo can contain other different elements and symbols, all in bright colors they look just incredible.

If there is a tiny worm coming out of the fruit in the apple, consider this the confession of the tattoo owner, that he is not such a good person as he can seem. Or he had already been punished for his romances and cheating. A bitten apple tattoo can serve as a symbol of the fall of the man, inability to resist temptations of sins especially the sexual attraction of different sex. Such treatment to the symbol had formed due to the legend of Adam and Eve from the Bible.

With growing number of an iPhone admirers, the meaning of an apple tattoo had shifted. Bitten apple as a logo of the same name corporation is an embodiment of this huge love to brand and a device in possession. That’s why there are a lot of cases when people make Apple logo tattoo on their shoulders ans wrists.

If there are apples hanging on the tree in the tattoo design, such tattoo can represent fertility. And an apple tree in bloom is considered to be a symbol of pure love. That’s why making an apple tree tattoo with a name of your beloved on the bark of a bright stripe around its trunk is a great way to show your feelings.

Anyway, it is possible to create an amazing composition around this fruit. An apple tattoo will look great on any part of the body – a shoulder, shin, thigh, chest or shoulder blade.
