About Flower Tattoos
Flowers are beautiful! They connect us to nature and fill us with wonder and delight! Due to our long-running obsession with flowers, nearly every flower is endowed with a symbolic meaning or aligned with a personality characteristic!
There are flowers for Nations, States, Cities, and birth months. Flowers can seem tempestuous, alluring, exotic, humble, pure, chaste, bold, or tenacious! Roses imply romantic love. The lotus can be a symbol of divine purity or spiritual enlightenment. The white lily is a sign of resurrection. Flowers speak their own language!
Individual blooms can be used on the shoulder, ankle or arm. Series of blossoms can be stunning as large works on a back or side. Flowers can link together like daisy chains into armbands, bracelets, or anklets; a mass of flowers can create striking tattoo sleeves!
Flowers can be used in compositions that wrap around the top and side of the foot. A single flower or chain of flowers can be placed along the curve of a rib. Flowers combine naturally with vines that can extend along any length of the body!
Whichever type of flower you choose can be rendered in a realistic style, outlined, or created into a pattern. The Tribal, Celtic, Japanese, or Aztec styles could be used to depict your flower. Your flower can be large or small (or tiny!). You could choose a Hawaiian, Samoan, Filipino, or Korean flower, if you have a personal connection to a distant land!
The design of your flower (or flowers) can include any number of additional themes—anything that appeals to you! Crosses, dragons, butterflies, stars, skulls, tigers, dragonflies, fairies, and koi are just a few examples. Try a hibiscus flower for a vintage tropical feel, or a cluster of cherry blossoms mixed with kanji to capture Japanese elegance!
