95 realistic (or real) heart tattoos (and their meanings)

The importance of the heart has been present in human history for centuries. Not only from a physical point of view, but also from a symbolic point of view. This is usually associated with love or emotion, but this was not always the case.

In ancient Egypt, it was believed that the heart is the place in our anatomy where the mind and soul are located. During the judgment that people faced after death, their hearts were weighed on scales, and their weight was compared with the weight of the feather of the goddess Maat. A light heart was synonymous with righteous living and righteous actions.
