After reading through everyones comments looks like there's no real "meaning" for the cherry tattoo.
I guess because it just looks sexy and cute.
I for one think it looks sorta like red testicles but that's just me.

Cherry Tattoos

A cherry tattoo can represent different things to each of those displaying the tattoo. Personally, I have a tattoo of some cherries, right below the panty line. It was my personal preference to have the cherries positioned in that location. The cherries have a special meaning to me; a friend drew them for me, it was a birthday gift to myself, yes to represent virginity still maintained. and No, it was NOT my first tattoo. My advice is to ask the wearer of the cherry tattoo what meaning it has to them. But don't get offended if they tell you it is personal!!! Enjoy the art and never mind the meaning!!!

Since biblical times, fruit trees have represented temptation and evil. The forbidden fruit attracts attention, and the temptation people give towards that which is forbidden sparks interest.
In our western culture, cherries are known to be a very sexual fruit, with their color of red and association to blood and to losing one’s sexual innocence. Living in the sex-crazed society that we live in today, the sexual connotations that come along with cherries may very well be the reason why cherry tattoos are common. It may also explain why images of cherries have become common on women’s underwear, pajamas, and jewelry pieces.
The cherry is a sign of the samurai in Japan, as is the cherry blossom. The Japanese hold the cherry blossom’s symbolism to be that of evanescence and transience of life. The flower would be placed on the samurai to demonstrate the possibility of death in the upcoming battle, and their preparedness to face death at any moment.
Universally, the cherry is also said to be the fruit of heaven, and it is often used to symbolize beauty and love. Similarly, the cherry blossom takes on the meaning of spiritual beauty. In ancient stories the cherry tree branch has symbolized fertility, wealth, health, and happiness. All of these are positive characteristics that would enhance a cherry tattoo.

Tattooing goes through a lot of themes. In the 90's it was tribal tattoos, then dragon/butterflies, now cherries. Each has their own implied meeting, but its just a theme. A cherry tattoo does not necesarily indicate virginity, just like cartoon characters or zombies.
