Custom Chest Heart Zipper Tattoos

The heart shape is beautiful! This feeling is almost unanimous. For centuries, it has been the symbol of love and affection. The heart shape has been tattooed on the human form for a long while. Sailors come to mind when thinking about heart shaped tattoo designs. They were always on the upper arm with a scroll-like ribbon saying something like "Mom" or their loved one.

Where did this shape originate? Well, there is probably more to this design than what you can think. The origin of the heart shape (not the shape of the actual human heart) is not completely identified. We do know that it has it's origins in the ancient times. Some say it resembles the seed of the silphium plant. This plant was said to be an herbal contraceptive. It has been adopted to suit a need for artistically expressing the feeling of love.
