The tradition of paired tattoos has existed for as long as the art of tattooing itself. The original drawing is divided into two (or more) fragments and applied to different parts of the body, or even each of the fragments is intended for different people...

Such tattoos are made either for fun (encrypted messages on the knuckles, two-faced characters), or out of love for art. At the same time, they often symbolize the ambiguity of human existence, its complexity and connection with other people. Paired tattoos are often done symmetrically on the limbs, for example, on the palms, forearms, feet, shins or thighs, but artists working with tattoos designed for optical effects have also succeeded in using the whole body as canvases for their drawings.

"Double tattoos" can also be a very bold step in expressing your own devotion to relationships, both family or friendly, and romantic. It may not be the best idea to share a pair of tattoos with someone if you start to quarrel even over which movie to watch... However, if you are sure of your feelings and that it will last for a long time , what could be more romantic than a tattoo that finds its meaning only if you are together? German tattoo artist Little Swastika has gained some fame thanks to his tattoos, shared by more than two people.
