Hearts mean love, wisdom and life. Heart tattoos represent the particular symbol of love. The heart tattoos have been made very popular by sailors in the early twentieth century . At that time when sailors left home, they would get a heart tattoo with the word "mom" inside the heart to show their love for their mothers. So the meaning behind heart tattoos is obvious, love.
An arrow through the heart means struck by cupid's bow. So many couples will both get a heart tattoo design in similar locations on their bodies with each others names in the center of the heart to show their love.
What's more, a heart with wings can mean "love lifts me up" or "love has flown away." A double heart or heart with a key can be worn by lovers.
