After filing for divorce, many spouses commemorate the event by getting tattoos. It’s a fashion trend for some and a sign of liberation for others. Here are a few reasons why you’re seeing divorce tattoos on beaches and in business offices more often.  

What Makes Divorce Tattoos Popular?

Part of the Healing Process

Going through a divorce may generate emotional pain. Many individuals find that getting these tattoos has a healing effect. Their image and word choices help express a release from a toxic or stifling relationship and instill newfound strength and self-confidence.

A Way of Getting Attention

Some divorcing spouses didn’t receive the kind of attention they wanted from their mates. A striking and publicly visible tattoo attracts more than a glance from people passing by. A clever phrase or thoughtful image could be the conversation starter that leads to a new and more satisfying relationship.  

Social Media Inspiration

Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest, and tattoo magazines are major sources of inspiration for newly single people seeking self-expression through body ink. Popular choices include a phoenix, a feather, butterflies, or roses in bloom. Such images symbolize new beginnings and freedom, while words and phrases often express self-awareness and self-celebration.
