The Tree of Life holds a lot of symbolism in almost all cultures. It shows how the earth is linked to heaven and hell.
There are many meanings and interpretations. The Tree of Life can be "a feminine symbol, bearing sustenance, and a masculine, visibly phallic symbol - another union."
The trees that have no leaves or only some, illustrate your resurrection. The tree also bears fruit or seeds, which alludes to immortality because of the constant cycle of production. The Tree of Life also gives gifts and wisdom of spirituality.
The Tree of Life also can represent our nervous systems when it is inverted. The roots represent the nerves in our brain and the branches spread throughout the body.
If you want to learn more about the symbolism behind the Trees of Life in different cultures, look here.
The Tree of Life used as a tattoo has many different meanings. It can represent the foundations of the world, immortality, and renewal.
You need to research the meanings behind the Tree of Life tattoos so that you can pick the one that means the most to you. There are Celtic meanings, Biblical Meanings, and many more. Once you have picked the type of tree, you can personalize it to fit who you are.
And don't forget to decide if you want it black and white or in color. If you choose the latter, you need to pick the colors you want and the effect they will have, whether it be watercolor backgrounds, colorful leaves, etc.
If you include birds, it means sustenance, wealth, and prosperity. If you put a Sun and/or a Moon, it represents the passage of time and the connection we have to the heavens. If they are a backdrop to the tree, it represents renewal. But most of all, the tree means immortality and that wife will go on for eternity.
