In this article, we are going to take a look at some of the different designs and ideas people choose when looking for an Italian themed tattoo. So let’s begin.
Firstly, the colors of the Italian flag, green, white, and red, often play a big part in these designs. Some tattoos can simply be a representation of the flag. Some designs will involve using a shape outline of the country, and the “land” area is filled with the colors of the flag.
Other designs contain a strong religious theme, with plenty of crosses and angels being used in the designs – often with an Italian flag flowing over the cross, to further represent the Italian theme.
It’s also possible to have Italian words or phrases as a tattoo. The language is often associated with romance, and the common phrases which are used for the tattoo designs often reflect this. Some examples of this include:
To amo = I love you.
Ti amo con tutta l’anima = I love you with all my heart (this particular phrase is often used with a loved one’s name).
Tutto รจ permesso in guerra ed in amore = All is fair in love and war.
For a cuter design, you can choose to have a heart outline with the flag colors inside. The outline is often a dark color, and completed with broad strokes.
So if you have a love for Italy, and want to reflect this with your next tattoo – then picking an Italian flag design combined with another graphic such as a heart, a cross or an angel – is a great idea. Alternatively, you can pick an important phrase, which are often romantic in nature, to have as your next tattoo.
