What does a tree tattoo symbolize?

Alritey then, tree tattoos are many different things as far as their symbolism goes.......To the ancient pagans and heathens the tree was the symbol of life.....The druids revered the oak tree as a sacred living thing..The ancient Norse [viking] people believed that all life started with the tree yggdragsil upon which ODIN hung for 9 days and nights to gain great wisdom...

Many of the tattoos you see of trees relate to one or more creation stories.....And then, the bearer of such a tattoo might just be a tree hugger......Hope this helps.........TatuBaron
