We have spoken on other occasions about the tattoo tree of Life with initials and without and their multiple meanings. In addition, trees are a very rich reason when opting for a tattoo.
Today we will talk about this type of tattoos and how to take advantage of them if we want to add initials or any other piece of text. Keep reading to know more!
The meaning of the tree of life with text

If we add any text to a tree of life tattoo, the meaning of this design changes slightly. As you already know, by itself this tree, although present in many cultures (it will depend on the style of the design so that it is related to one or the other) has a very similar meaning. The tree of life, as its name suggests, is a metaphor for life itself, with death and rebirth.
If we add some initials or any type of text, as is evident, the meaning of this tattoo will change slightly and this fragment will be related to the idea of change, of life, that the tree has.
How to integrate the initials in the tattoo

When it comes to getting a tree of life tattoo with initials, we must also take into account how and where we are going to put the text. We have two great options: first, put the text aside. We can put it above, below or around the tree (this last option is especially useful to highlight the circular nature of life: everything that is born dies to infinity). Choose a font that matches the style of the tree so it doesn't clash.
The other option, especially useful if we have some initials that we want to add to the design (which are shorter than a word) is to integrate them into the tree itself. They can appear on the trunk, for example, or between the roots or branches, taking advantage of their design to create the shape of the letters.
A tree of life with initials is a very pretty design with an interesting twist. Tell us if you have a design like this in the comments!
