When someone gets a Native American version of the three arrows tattoo, it will almost always have classic arrows with feathers on the ends. It can have classic meanings having to do with hunting and providing, or the tattoo can have a much more personal meaning. When used as a Native American symbol, the three arrows tattoo can have quite a few different meanings. Sometimes these tattoos have the arrows point up and one of the arrows will be bolder than the others to show who the oldest, middle, and youngest siblings are.

The three arrows tattoo design works well as a friendship or group tattoo to be shared by friends or family.

The triangle, made of three points and representative of the shape of the arrow, is an innate shape within nature and symbolizes life itself. The significance of three is the foundation that it represents. Each arrow could also symbolize a family unit to convey a larger family without having to include more than three arrows so that the number three is incorporated into the design. The object holding the arrows together represents a bond and connection while the arrows represent each member with the relationship. When the arrows are tied together with rope or placed in a quiver it symbolizes family or friendship.
