Yes, Flower Tattoos Are Badass
Spring is the best time of the year for self expression. It’s a time when plants, beasts, and people common bonds with rebirth, rejuvenation, and attraction. When the days get warmer, and Idaho’s wildflowers start blooming all over the plains. More and more people start to show their skin.
Flowers can symbolize intangible feelings like love, loss, pain, tranquility, balance, enlightenment, etc. Their multiple meanings, along with their remarkable beauty, make for excellent tattoos.
“Every rose has its thorn.”
Sometimes roses get over-used, from lame teenager poetry to greeting cards. But roses have a way of encompassing it all: attraction, passion, and the sharp pain of that first burning heart break. If you get a rose tattoo, make sure it reveals a unique story.
Lotuses and Mandalas
If you can’t impress your hot yoga instructor with your flexibility, a tattoo referencing Eastern spirituality can help. The Mandala and Lotus flower are both strong and elaborate designs in Hindu and Buddhist culture. Mandalas can come in many unique patterns and blend well with the shape of a sun flower, as seen below.
In Memorium
When mourning a deceased loved one, choosing a tattoo that commemorates that person’s life is a permanent way to never let them go, to and to carry their memory on your skin.
Wildflowers
We know why the caged bird sings. Whatever your spirit animal may be (a buck, a wolf, or a sea cucumber), flowers give your animal a wild dash of color.
