5 Woodland Tattoos to Celebrate Fall Oct 5th 2012, 11:02 As summer turns into fall, your body art can send the message of change. From nature tattoos that depict animals such as the scurrying squirrel, or the nuts that he drops on his way up the tree and into his drey, the following 5 tattoos to celebrate fall prove you don't have to leave the magic of the season behind, or turn back the hands on the clock to return to the beauty that is autumn. 1. Squirrels Courtesy Foxntongue@ Flickr Squirrels are a popular fall theme animal tattoo. Spending their days collecting nuts and acorns for the long and cold winter that lies ahead, a squirrel tattoo can signify preparation and bounty, as well as playfulness for their mere mischief on the branch. A little known fact is that the squirrel only finds roughly 10% of its stored bounty. If you're the forgetful type, a squirrel tattoo may make an appropriate fit for a tattoo design. Write it down. 2. Trees Outcast 104 @Flickr Tree tattoos have plenty of rooted inspiration. From encouraging you to stand tall during the winds of change or to signify the limbs of family or your beloved, a tree tattoo that works into a fall theme can also include varied changing colors and leaves. Or you can always go for the barren and speak of the hope that springs eternally when winter slowly wanes into spring and the blossoms return aplenty. Whatever you do, give your tree some roots and keep yourself planted. 3. Leaves Courtesy Jo Fleet @ Flickr Leaf tattoos are not only a beautiful design for their many shapes and changing colors, leaves can also represent the time of letting go. If you're at a crossroads and seek a tattoo design that represents the bravery to take flight from the branch, get inked in your favorite leaf shape and color and check out the children's book The Little Yellow Leaf by Carin Berger for heartfelt inspiration. Let go and let it be. 4. Clocks Courtesy _April@ Flickr Melting pocket watches are a beloved Salvador Dali tattoo idea, but they don't have to be melting to prove that time is always running and waits for no one. Victorian and steampunk style tattoos illuminate the beauty of mechanical parts and ticking timepieces. Whether it be an old pocket watch or an Aztec sundial, time is ticking, and you shouldn't be late. 5. Acorns and nuts Courtesy Gemsling @ Flickr Representing nature, acorns and nuts are yet another option for incorporating a tattoo that celebrates fall into your body art message. Whether you want to honor the idea that acorns provide nourishment for nature, or adapt your body art into Norse mythology and honor the tale of Thor , who stood under an old oak tree for protection during a thunderstorm, mighty oaks from little acorns grow.
