World's Dove Tattoo

Dove Tattoo Designs have some very profound meanings in the tattoo world. They can be a symbol of Christianity, peace and hope or new life. Alternatively, dove tattoo designs are also associated with the occult and supernatural forces although most people would recognize them as a sign of undying or long lasting love. There are a great number of bird tattoos, such as eagles, swallows etc but none have such significant or varied meanings as the Dove.

Dove tattoos in Chinese culture are used as a symbol of a long and healthy life. The Celts and other ancient people believed that doves as well as other types of birds were messengers bringing omens of good or evil. Dove is also a persons name and in both the Scottish and Irish native language the Boys name "Callum" is a translation of Dove.
