Fruit is nature's miracle, the botanical ovary, the vessel that holds the seeds to future life. Little surprise, then, that fruit often serves as a prominent symbol of abundance, fertility and prosperity. Think no further than a Cornucopia, or Horn of Plenty. Potent symbols of an abundant Harvest. In Greek mythology, the Cornucopia, or Horn of Plenty is the horn of the goat that suckled Zeus, the supreme Greek deity, which broke off and became filled, indeed, overflowed with copious amounts of fruit.

Full of goodness, sweetness and healing, fruit in mythology is naturally associated with the goddesses of plenty, harvest bounty, and earthly pleasures -- but occasionally it's a symbol of temptation and gluttony.

Different cultures have elevated some fruits to royal or divine status - the pomegranate and blueberry for example. The former due is to its garnet colour and gemlike seeds, and the blueberry because of its purple-blue hue, favoured by royalty. A fruit may be the emblem of a state, province or country -- the plum in Serbia, the mango in Pakistan. As a tattoo motif, there are many designs to choose from. A favourite is the cherry, symbol of fertility or beauty and modesty. The peach symbolizes immortality. Apple, twin pears, clusters of grapes -- take your pick.
