A great way to make your cherry design a little bit different to the standard designs is to transform you cherries into hearts. Cherries can be easily adapted into hearts and this can add a romantic or feminine touch to the design. Try keeping the stalk and any leaves the same so that the cherry hearts stand out.
Adding a banner around the cherries can be a good way to bring the design alive or it can add a more personal meaning to the design. Choose a pair of words or a short phrase that suits your design. Keep the text to a minimum to make sure that you don’t overcrowd the design.
As cherries are small and simple to tattoo they can be easily incorporated into a larger design. Try having a Swallow hold them, or work them into a tattoo of a female figure for a classic nautical design.
You may want to increase the size of your design, however, if the scale of the cherries is increased too much they can look odd. A good way to build up your design is to add simple stars or even a floral pattern around your cherries to make the design look more interesting.
For the best effect, use color. Cherries are bright and this feature works well when implemented into a tattoo design. Utilize shades of red and green to make your design aesthetically pleasing. You may use a black and white design, however, this can make your design look flat or dull, so it would be a good idea to make use of color.
