 Cupid Tattoo Design Meanings
- In Roman mythology, Cupid (Latin cupido) is the
god of erotic love. He is equated with the Greek god Eros, and
another one of his Latin names Amor (cognate with Kama). In popular
culture Cupid is frequently shown shooting his bow to inspire
romantic love, often as an icon of Valentine's Day.

A cherub or cherubim, are angels depicted as infants or young
children, most often boys. Historically, winged figures with a human
form pre-date even the bible, going back to Assyrian myths and
legends. The winged figures were often sent as messengers or guides.
In Hebrew cherubim were supernatural entities mentioned several
times in the Old Testament and the Torah. |
The concept of cherubs as "baby" angels does not emerge in Western
art until the late Renaissance in Italy. Such figures were known as
"putti".
 Cupid is a holiday character and symbol usually
representing Valentines Day and the emotion of love. Cupid is based
on the god of Roman mythology of the same name, but has undergone
many changes. Cupid in this usage is not tied to any religion and is
not generally considered to be a god. Cupid is often used in modern tattoos to commemorate your true love.
