Pineapple tattoo signifies, joy, freedom, and sometimes relaxation.
It is usually done for aesthetical purposes, but I've done the tropical fruit tattoo for people to represent some quite deep meanings. A client requested the pineapple tattoo with a name written on it to represent a lost loved one that brought him so much joy. The pineapple tattoo with a skull is usually done by youngsters to signify the desire for freedom and adventure forever.
Pineapple tattoos are not just fun, they can signify lots of other things too. That is why this article with the best collection of designs is created to give you just another reason to get a pineapple tattoo done.
Fruit tattoos are fun tattoo that helps to portray warmth and a welcoming personality. Since pineapples are sweet, people spotted rocking a pineapple tattoo are automatically seen as fun and easygoing.
Pineapples have a tough exterior. This makes the pineapple tattoos associated with people who are tough outside but are angels when you finally crack open that hard exterior and get to know them in depth. So if you've got that kind of personality or it takes a bit of time for you to get comfortable with new people, getting a pineapple tattoo is a good way to show that.
The pineapple tattoo is also associated with freedom and relaxation. This is because tropical fruit is perfect to enjoy while relaxing and bathing in the sunlight on summer holidays.
This is one of the most ancient meanings behind the pineapple tattoo. People who get the pineapple tattoo with the 'prosperity meaning' in mind usually have financial goals that they would love to achieve.
Recently, the fun pineapple tattoo design has been adopted by swingers as a secret sign of identification. Swingers get the upside-down pineapple tattoo done to help them recognize each other easily to avoid approaching a non-swinger. The pineapple tattoo signifies your interest in swinging, and also makes inviting people to the swinger party easy.
The beauty of the pineapple tattoo design can be made to look even better by adding flowers to the body art. It is the perfect symbol to show that you are a sweet person with an amazing personality. The flower can also serve as a welcome symbol to avert people from the strong exterior of the pineapple.
There are lots of ways you can style pineapple tattoos with flowers. You can decide to replace the pineapple's body with flowers. All you need to do is draw the circular shape of the pineapple and place the flower tattoos within the circle.
Or you can go for the more simple designs of placing the flowers under or on top of the pineapple tattoo. Most pineapple lovers get the tattoo done in amazing colors, but if minimal designs resonate better with your personality, you can get the black or grey pineapple tattoo.
