Flower Tattoo Designs

Flowers are usually considered to be feminine.  They are delicate, fragile, and beautiful, so flower tattoos are typically chosen by women rather than men.  All varieties of flowers are translated into tattoo designs.  Different species of flowers and different flower colors can have different meanings and symbolize different things.  Sometimes specific flowers are for personal reasons, like a loved one's favorite flower or flowers in a childhood garden, but usually flower tattoo designs are chosen for a specific symbolism and cultural meaning.  Flowers like roses, lotuses, cherry blossoms, and orchids flowers are popular tattoo designs.
 

 

Flower tattoos are a clear connection to nature and a natural lifestyle.  Flowers, by designs, represent fertility and reproduction because they are the plant's method for reproducing.  Flowers also represent spring.  After the winter passes, flowers and leaves begin to bud, signaling warmer weather and marking the beginning of the renewal of the earth.  Because of this, flowers are encouraging and seem so bright and cheerful after a few months of dreary, monotone grey.  Flowers usually have a positive connotation and optimistic symbolism.
