If you’ve come out of the closet, we’ve got fantastic LGBT Pride Tattoo Ideas that you would love. Don’t miss out!
LGBT pride tattoos are all about self-expression, resilience, and a celebration of identity. And what better way to express yourselves than a sweet ink? These ideas will surely inspire you.
LGBTQ+ Pride Tattoo Symbols and Their Meaning
Rainbow Flag
Let’s start with an easy one. We all know about the pride flag as it is one of the most recognized pride symbols. But did you know it’s been around since 1978? It was designed by Gilbert Baker and had eight colors — hot pink for sex, red for life, orange for healing, yellow for sunlight, green for nature, turquoise for magic/art, indigo for harmony, and violet for spirit.
Pink Triangle
You might also see an upside-down pink triangle. It has a darker history as it was used by Nazis to identify homosexual men in concentration camps, but the LGBTQ+ community has reclaimed this and changed it into a symbol of pride and resilience.
Lesbian Flag
The lesbian flag is another pride ink idea that people get. It’s made up of seven stripes: dark crimson for courage, orange for independence, light orange for community, white for unique relationships with women, pink for love, deep rose for femininity, and dark purple for spirit. Sometimes, it is also depicted in six colors.
But don’t worry, these aren’t the only LGBT pride symbols. Anything that you feel represents you or showcases how you feel can be turned into a trendsetter. Just like the following ideas.
