The Heartagram was originally created as a logo by the self described "Love Metal" band HIM. It combines a heart with a pentagram, and according to band members, represents the juxtaposition of love and hate/anger, or life and death. The symbol is sported as a tattoo by many HIM fans, including professional skater and "Jackass" stuntman Bam Margera. Although people have seen this as a satanic symbol meaning "love for satan", Valo has said that "the heartagram stands for HIM as a band, as an entity, and for 'love metal' in general." and not as a satanic reference.
