39 Inspiring Anatomical Heart Tattoos

Disgusting for some, appealing for others, anatomical heart tattoos are in trend nowadays. An exposed organ does not please everyone and only daring people will choose such a tattoo design.

Unlike the simple heart shape which is a symbol of love and adoration, admired by the vast majority, an anatomical heart is a more rough design referring primarily to its biological role: the maintaining of life.

Anatomical heart tattoos are designed in a more realistic way and seem detached from the scientific books, symbolizing your interest in anatomy or various feelings in a more metaphorical and darker style.
