Flower Tattoos

As with the real thing, flower tattoos are both beautiful and symbolic of many things. A lily alone, for example, means different things in different cultures. For some it is a symbol for purity and for others can represent erotic love.

For Asian cultures, the heavily symbolic lotus flower brings good luck, tranquility and rebirth. Whatever flower you choose to represent on your skin, whether alone or in a bouquet, can make a profound statement about what you identify with.

You even can express entire messages with flower arrangements. If you would like to promise to be faithful to your first love, this can be represented by a lilac surrounded with ivy. Those that view themselves as brave and lucky, or perhaps want to be, can link a chain of delphinium and stephanotis as an armband.

There are a lot of add-ons that you can incorporate in your flower tattoo design. You can choose to add thorns, leaves or even ribbon details. Butterfly and birds designs can blend well with flower tattoos. Fairies can also be added to create a fantasy theme. You can also choose your own concept such as adding words or names.

There are also many ways to enhance flower tattoo designs. You can start with a single flower and then, after sometime when you have decided to have a bigger tattoo, you can choose to add more flowers and have a crawling design or other fancy details. These designs can also be easily customized and the possibilities for color combinations are endless. This shows just how flexible and diverse flower tattoo designs are.

Depending on your personality, you can choose a particular flower tattoo design that suits you. One of the most common is the hibiscus flower design. It presents a summery, Hawaiian theme that is both laid back and relaxed. Hibiscus flowers have a tropical and exotic island flavor and they symbolize an easy-going, fun-filled lifestyle.
