Live Laugh Love Tattoo On Hand

If you live life on a high, then the words “live laugh love” have a profound emotional connection to your life. More than just a phrase to motivate and bring positive vibes in life, these three words strung together can be symbolism for you choosing what Frost describes as the ‘road not taken.’ The flying black seeds of the dandelion flower is a bonus as they are said to carry wishes for new beginnings and prosperity with them as they are carried away by the wind. Dandelions are often viewed as symbols of resilience and hope and, coupled with live laugh love tattoo ideas, can be a representation of a free-spirited soul full of playfulness and innocence.

The Last Laugh Tattoo Design

Well, if we are talking about tattoos based on a laugh, then one iconic laugh is sure to pop on everyone’s mind – the manic laughter of Joker. The popular Joker body art involving Joker’s infamous laughter ‘HA HA HA!’ is positively one of the most chilling minimal tattoo designs you can be wearing. Get this piece of art in its original crooked comic font to have the desiring effect and make a stylish statement like no other.

Minimal Live Laugh Love Tattoo

While the appeal of large and complex body art is easily understandable, they require a lot of time, skin space, money, and commitment which might prove a bit too overwhelming for those getting inked for the first time. Minimal tattoo designs have been trending for a while now as they pack the same fashion statement without requiring much of the aforementioned things. This minimal live laugh love tattoo on the shoulder is small, compact, and a great way to flaunt the mantra of your life. Owing to the small size of this live laugh love tattoo design, you can also get it done on the back of your neck, wrist, or any other place where it would be hard to miss.

Laugh Now Cry Later Tattoo Girl

The ‘laugh now, cry later’ or the ‘smile now, cry later’ design showcases a pair of theatre masks – one smiling or laughing, the other weeping. While this design has been usually paired with theatre and drama, this specific design also has a definite political statement attached to it. Freddy Negrete first inked this ‘laugh now, cry later’ design to show solidarity to the Mexicans facing a tough time in America, which went on to become an international design and symbol of solidarity. The design specifically showed the obligation to hide vulnerability and weakness from enemies on the street and is a quintessential Chicano tattoo design. It can also be a symbolism of the ups and downs we face in life but the need to hold onto our strength and emotions in overcoming them. This striking piece of body art shows a girl wearing makeup and holding one of these theatrical masks in her hands.

Japanese Live Laugh Love Tattoo

Well, you hardly need to be a Sherlock Holmes to notice that this is the third variant of the live laugh love tattoo on this list. Yes, that is exactly how popular the live laugh love tattoo design is and, judging by the current trends, will remain so in the distant future. This live laugh love tattoo lends an Asian touch as the famous mantra is inscribed in Japanese letters, adding a whole new sense of aesthetics to the design. Go for this one if you are living life on the edge and want to pay homage to your Japanese roots.

Traditional Cry Later Laugh Now Tattoo

Tribal tattoos have a common form and theme that helps them to be distinguished from other designs. They usually have a wider range of colour palettes, bright and vibrant hues, and a bold stroke to draw outlines. The use of natural elements such as flowers, animals, or birds is also often found in tribal tattoos. The ‘laugh now, cry later’ design is a common enough tattoo idea in the world of drama and theatre and is also used to make a political statement. This specific piece of art combines all those elements of traditional tattoos to draw the popular theatrical symbol and can prove to be a perfect addition to your arsenal of body tattoos.

The Creepy Joker Laugh Tattoo

Joker remains one of the most famous villains of the comic universe and has been revived by DC every few years with a new franchise. Portrayed by various talented and accomplished actors, this psychopathic criminal mastermind with a sadistic sense of humour has inspired thousands of tattoo designs that touch upon a wide range of issues – from mental health to political issues. This striking body art showcases an outline of the Joker laughing manically with the ‘HA HA HA!’ printed beside the outline. The extensive use of shadow techniques and black and grey ink colours add a chilling touch to the whole piece.

Sock Puppet Themed Laugh Tattoo Design

We have all put our hands in socks sometimes as a kid and made a sock puppet that moved its mouth when we flapped our fingers. With some imagination, creativity, and a little touch of ventriloquy, we can easily make a talking sock puppet which could be a great way to keep kids entertained. The exact amount of fun and creativity goes into making these sock puppet-themed laugh tattoo designs, which can be a fabulous way to re-live our childhood nostalgia. Go for these fun and simple designs that celebrate life the way it should be – with a laugh and loads of love.

Cartoon Themed Laugh Hand Tattoo

One of our firm beliefs is that not all tattoos need to be concerned about aesthetics, complex designs, or some statement to make. Some tattoos can simply be done for fun, to bring out the child within you. And what brings it out better than a cartoon themed design? This nonsensical piece of body art is a great way to remind you of those lazy afternoons spent watching cartoons. The googly eyes and ‘HA HA HA!’ imprinted in comic font add a certain sense of silliness and absurdity to the whole design.

Love Themed Laugh Ear Tattoo

While most of the laugh tattoos on this list are that of popular comic characters, traditional imageries, or famous life catchphrases, this minimal design talks about the laughter of the person you love or may have loved. The two words imprinted behind the ear remind you of the moments of laughter you might have shared with your partner, or how attracted you are to their laugh. This piece of minimal body art is a great tribute to pay to your partner or flaunt your love to the whole world.
