The Warrior Within – Semicolon Tattoo Ideas For 2024

To help you with your research for your next tattoo design, we went on a hunt through Instagram to find the best semicolon tattoo ideas.

Take a look below to check them out all:

Butterfly’s main meaning is one of transformation, and coming out of your cocoon to become the new, beautiful and free you.

This beautiful insect that can come in incredible color patterns is also aesthetically pleasing, which makes it a great option for a tattoo.

You can form your unique butterfly semicolon tattoo either by having the semicolon in the wing, as a part of the wing design. It can also be done in a way where the butterfly is the full stop with the coma below.

Many people do not want explicit expression of what they’ve been through in their tattoos.

If you would like to be the only one knowing what the deeper meaning of your tattoo is, you can go for a hidden semicolon tattoo.

Can you try and figure out where the semicolon is in the examples below?

The love for others and for oneself needed to get out of a depressive episode cannot be stressed enough.

Being able to accept that love, internalize it and use it to get better is critical to getting better.

For this reason, many use a heart semicolon tattoo to hint at their struggle and what helped them out of it.

Sunflowers serve as a symbol of hope for the hundreds of millions around the world that struggle with their mental health, 50% of them untreated.

For this reason, many use sunflower tattoos as the symbol of finally getting on the sunny side after a very dark time.

The cat semicolon tattoo can have a layered meaning.

If done without color, it implies that the animal in the tattoo is a black cat – often associated with transformation and change.

Additionally, it can imply that the person got their greatest emotional support and a reason to live in their pet, the cat.

As much as it doesn’t seem so while we’re going through a hard time, there is beauty in darkness.

And a flower semicolon tattoo can symbolize exactly this sentiment.

A beautiful flower accompanying the semicolon can imply the beauty and graciousness of the person that we’ve become after surviving.

You can add another layer of meaning by using your birth month flower or of the loved one that has helped you in your struggle.

Dragonflies are beautiful insects with intricate meanings, very close to the topic of mental health.

Symbolizing change and new beginnings, dragonfly semicolon tattoo is very explicit in what it wants to say.

It also means growth and wisdom that one would achieve after living fully and gaining life experience, which can also imply having a dark time in your life that you’ve overcome.

The oldest non human, non animal body part symbol out there is an arrow and it represents survival.

It also points straight, showing direction in which you want to go in.

After a very hard episode in life, you only want to move forward, no matter how small the steps are.

Adding a semicolon in your arrow tattoo shows exactly towards what you want to go without a doubt – into a new, happier life.

If you rely on faith and Christianity to help you go through the hard times in live, you probably already relate to the cross symbol.

But, if your faith is what helped you in the darkest moments, helping you start again when you reached the bottom, you might want to combine the cross and semicolon to memorize this moment of strength.
