You want a fruit themed tattoo. Whether you are the produce manager at a local grocer, have spent summers working in an orchard, find symbolism in them, or you simply love the taste is beside the point. All that you’re looking for from us, is fruit tattoo ideas that may inspire your next work of body art. Let’s get to it!
Fruit Tattoo Ideas and Themes to Consider
Make It Sexy
Fruit and sex go hand in hand. Pretty much every variety symbolizes either a sexual “organ” or some aspect of the sexual experience. A tattoo of a fruit species on its own can convey the sexual representation, but a tattooist can get more creative with it (like this VERY suggestive peach design) if you desire. Below is a breakdown of what each generally symbolizes:
Apple: Represents the buttocks
Banana: Represents the penis (phallic)
Blueberries: Represents teasing someone sexually without granting “satisfaction”
Cherry: Represents one’s first sexual experience
Eggplant: Nope, we’re not going to explain this one (and yes it’s technically a fruit not a vegetable)
Melon / watermelon: Represents breasts
Raspberry: Represents foreplay
Strawberry: An especially strong appetite for sex
Papaya: Represents the vagina (yonic)
Peach: Represents the buttocks or vagina (yonic)
Pear: Represents an especially rotund rear end
Pineapple: Represents the swinger lifestyle (and an invitation to participate)
Other Forms of Fruit Based Personalities
If “sexy” themes aren’t your cup of tea, you may find other fruit tattoo ideas that merge with your personality in some cheeky way. Both “bad apple” (represented in one of the images below) and “sour grapes” are often used to describe personalities.
Pair it with Other Mother Nature Creations
For added symbolism, pair fruit with creatures from the animal kingdom such as birds, snakes (note the Adam & Eve symbolism), or even a fruit bat (also pictured below).
Get It Done in Illustrative Color
Whatever fruit tattoo idea you decide upon, be sure to get it done in color realism, namely the illustrative style which is a branch of realism. The illustrative style employs techniques such as linework, shading, and more (there are secrets) to create works of body art that resemble illustrations in a storybook or art gallery. Adrenaline VanCity has one of the best “color illustrative” tattoo artists in Vancouver at our downtown location.
