Forest Sleeve Tattoo Meaning

The forest symbolizes the deep mystery of nature and a connection to the cycles of life that we seem so far removed from in our modern lives.

Others are connected to traits of forest animals, such as wolves and bears so frame their tattoos with the forest around them.

There is great power in unspoiled nature, a harmony of the different creatures and plants playing their roles, that the forest embodies.

We are also connected to the forest through vacations, adventure, animals and plants, and maybe even the picturesque scenery we can view from our homes.

Modern men and women often long for humanity’s hunter-gatherer origins and get forest tattoos to symbolize this yearning. With over half of the world’s 7.8 billion people living in urban environments it’s easy to see why the forest often calls.

Forest Sleeve Tattoo FAQs

What style forest sleeve tattoo should I get?

Sleeve tattoos help create symbolic tattoos to be built in color or classical black and gray – a main theme such as a myth, animal, or person can be supported by the forest landscape.

For others, the key is the landscape itself, with the ink a glimpse into the wilderness – trees, lakes, creature, and mountains forged into one large design.

How do I choose a tattoo sleeve?

When getting a large piece, it’s imperative to map out a plan. Consider:

  • Set your budget
  • Choose a concept and style
  • Choose an artist
  • Work out a price (including tips)
  • Make your booking
  • Collaborate or control the design, but communicate thoroughly
  • Work out a session timeline
What do trees symbolize in forest tattoos?

Forest tattoos include trees, either grouped or individually. Trees are found in nearly every natural landscape across the globe and make exceptional contrasts in tattoos.

In some cases, they’re simply a smudgy part of the wider landscape of the tattoo, while for others, trees have very specific meanings and detail.

What does a wolf tattoo symbolize?

A wolf tattoo is a great way to display strength, familial loyalty and devotion.

Wolves are fierce, naturally loyal creatures that hunt together and rely on each other for survival. They have a clearly defined family structure with clearly articulated roles and responsibilities.

How much does a sleeve tattoo cost?

There is no fixed price for a full sleeve tattoo. Average is about $150p/h, depending on the skill and tenure of the artist, design complexity and time taken to execute the artwork.

A full sleeve tattoo may take at least 10-15 hours and could cost from $1,500 to $2,000 before tips at a minimum.
