They can also be more nuanced tree branch tattoos aimed at associations of mental strength and the overcoming of obstacles. 

Tree branch tattoos offer great versatility, with beautifully delicate images of cherry blossoms as equally likely to be etched as more sparse heavy black ink iterations or strikingly angular slashes of branches. 

The following gallery of top 57+ best tree branch tattoo ideas demonstrate the various types of designs collectors can incorporate with help from the tattoo artist to make a brilliant design idea of branches come to life.

Tree Branch Tattoo FAQs

What does a tree branch tattoo symbolize?

Tree branches are often used in tattoo design to symbolize connection.   

These connections may be positive ones such as links to family and friends or to remember a situation or feeling, while others are more nuanced and linked with mental strength and overcoming an obstacle or challenge. 

What style tree branch tattoo designs are most popular?

There’s great versatility in tree branch tattoo design, although cherry blossoms and simple indeterminate branches of black and gray ink are the most popular. 

Some collectors opt to include script or silhouettes with their tree branch design, while colorful birds, owls, and butterflies are also expressed in these types of pieces. 

The most variety comes in the patterns of the branches themselves, with realistic variations often intertwined with more innovative artistic interpretations. 

What does a cherry blossom branch tattoo symbolize? 

The most popular type of tree branch tattoo, cherry blossom ideas can be done in black and gray or utilize the beautiful pink colors of the ‘sakura’ bloom. 

In traditional Japanese tattooing (Irezumi) sakura were depicted as a secondary (keshoubori) motif to signify the short life of samurai, or as a symbol of feminine beauty evening up a hyper masculine design, such as a tiger, dragon, or the fierce Hannya Mask. 

Where should I place my tree branch tattoo?

Tree branch designs are useful because they can look effective in a range of locations.  

They are often best place in areas that utilize a narrow stretch of skin, such as the inner forearm, along the shoulder cap or blade, near the collar bone, or stretching from the shoulder to pectoral/breast. 

How much do tree branch tattoos cost?

It costs on average $150-$200 per hour for an experienced professional, while small simple branch designs can be as little as $100 if etched with just linework and single color. 

You’ll find that elegant branch tattoos requiring painstaking detail are the most expensive –in black and gray or color.  

The rawer depictions of black linework can be quite large in comparison. 

It’s best to communicate clearly with your chosen artist on the framework for pricing prior to sitting, to prevent any misunderstanding on price.
