If you think about the symbolism of vines, then you know they represent power, strength, authority, femininity, fertility, determination, everlasting, love, friendship, loyalty, Christianity, good luck, devotion and commitment.

They are plants that survive, which is a trait found in many of us. So, don’t be afraid to ink your skin with meaning and beauty!
Types of Vine Tattoo Designs
Vine tattoo designs are decorative and often part of a bigger tattoo. They are seldom chosen as stand-alone designs because they tend to merge two or more elements together like a charm. Most of the designs containing vine and ivy patterns are located on women’s feet and ribs. Some of them fit perfectly on wrists as inked bracelets, while others are part of sleeves. While these are the most popular body parts embellished with vines, you have the freedom to choose whichever place suits you better.
Pain Expectancy vs. Your Personal Tolerance
Since there isn’t a particular body part where you can get a vine tattoo, the pain level differs. What’s good to know is that vines are often thin, so the tattoo artist that you choose will have to use the liner. The liner is a needle made of 3 smaller needles used to ink thin lines on skin. Now, the difference between a liner and a shader is the intensity of pain. Liners tend to create the feeling similar to a sting. Even so, vines aren’t usually wide, so most people can tolerate the pain.
Take the Aftercare Stage Seriously
Just like any other types of tattoos, vine tattoos need proper care. If you are willing to pay a little extra, you can use tattoo sheets that are waterproof, anti-bacterial and made of breathable materials. Basically, you put these on your fresh tattoo and you take them off several days after. This means you don’t have to wash it 2-3 times per day and apply cream on it. In addition, you avoid lots of others problems, such as rubbing clothes and other external factors.
Break Your Piggy Bank for a Tattoo
The quality of a tattoo is not based on its price, but don’t expect wonderful tattoos for $20. You have to consider the fact that all the consumables cost a lot of money, not to mention the artist’s fee and the gain of the tattoo parlor. Since a tattoo will last a lifetime, saving money for it is always a good idea. Usually they charge people by the hour and there is a minimum fee for a tattoo, regardless of how small it is.
