70+ Timeless Infinity Tattoo Designs for a Lifetime of Significance

Besides portraits, illustrations, and patterns, there is a type of tattoo that is loved by many people – symbols. Because they are not as literal as other styles, these tattoos are more for the “insiders” – knowing the meaning indicates a connection with the wearers.

The infinity symbol is no exception. Looking like a sideway figure 8, the mathematical symbol has been increasingly popular for the past few years, and rightfully so.

In terms of meaning, infinity tattoos can represent eternity, which is its original definition. But they can also symbolize one’s unlimited potential, never-ending love, and a core value you stand by for life. Paring the motif with other elements like the bird, flowers, and words gives more depth to its symbolism.

Design-wise, the infinity symbol is among the simplest tattoo motifs. But that doesn’t mean infinity tattoos are boring. Simplicity actually provides more possibilities in terms of sizes, colors, and designs.

So if you are searching for meaningful tattoo ideas, you are at the right place. From small to big, simple to intricate, these infinity tattoos will inspire your next ink.
