Intimate and erotic activities are frequently depicted in images of lips, particularly females, in a color or pattern associated with passion. Wherever the lip tattoo is placed, it will usually appear as if someone has just kissed the owner’s body.

It is not unusual to have these tattoos placed on the back of the neck or the bicep, but this design can be used almost anywhere on the body.

Take a look at our collection of creative lip tattoo designs and ideas.

Lips Tattoo Meaning

It is possible to use the image of lips as a metaphor for verbal communication that goes beyond sexual encounters. A proper communication or an inability is conveyed by the image of closed lips. The lips tattoo can be used as a reminder to open up to others if you’re having a hard time communicating with others. Someone who gets a lips tattoo may be trying to send a message to those who approach them that they prefer not to engage in conversation with them.

Kiss Lips Tattoo Designs

When red lips are placed in an intimate area like the hips, neck, abdomen, etc., they are usually meant to convey attraction and kissing.

Because these are often deeply symbolic tattoos, their owners may choose to conceal them.
