Fine Line Heart Tattoo Artist Vancouver BC

Aside from the anatomical variety (although that can work too), a heart tattoo typically symbolizes affection and love for a person, place, or thing, and/or life in general. It can also represent altruism which is why you see it used by a number of charities and movements to support important causes.

Interestingly, the stylized heart shape that everyone knows (which is obviously not anatomically correct) first appeared in the 1250s in a French manuscript called Le Roman de la Poire (translates to Romance of the Pear). The symbolic shape was used to depict a lover giving his heart away to another. In the 13th century it was “repurposed” as a symbol of charity (circling back to what we stated above) among various religious sects. It was elevated once again as a representation of love in the 15th century by artisans who integrated the heart-shape into various works to convey romantic and amorous themes.
