[B1090]Butterfly And Flower Tattoos
by Cristi, Cri
The rose is one of the most popular among flower tattoos, along with baby's breath, which means pure heart, the buttercup and it's symbol of riches, the carnation and it's meaning of love.

The daisy is a favorite among floral tattoos as it symbolizes innocence.

The sunflower means beauty and the tulip with it's meaning of enchantment.

As you can see, each flower is not only different in appearance, but in symbolization as well.

A men who choose floral tattoos will often accompany it with a name or other symbol. An example may be a rose with the name of his spouse or mate.

This article is for information purpose only. Before the purchase or application any tattoo, an individual should make sure that the artist is properly trained and licensed to produce a safe and quality tattoo. Any tattoo is not to be applied by an amateur or anyone who has not been properly trained in the handling and sterilization of tattoo equipment.

As a general rule, flower tattoos are more popular with women than with men. Perhaps it's due to their vibrant color, their delicate design or maybe it's the fact that it's like a beautiful fashion accessory. Whatever the reason, women with beautiful tattoos are often considered to be more confident, more feminine and more attractive.

One of the best aspects of flower tattoos is the massive choice of designs that are available. And each flower design has a different symbolic meaning, giving you a wide range of beautiful ways to express your individual personality.

For example, you could mix hollyhock (ambition) with heather (dreams come true) to signify your hopes and dreams of future success. Or how about combining narcissus and violet? That provides a contrast of both color and attitude. White and purple, arrogance and humility.

Alternatively, you could add flowers to other tattoo designs. For example, if you want a tattoo that represents someone special in your life you could get the design of a heart surrounded by symbolic flowers, such as roses (love), lavender (devotion), tulip (declaration of love) etc.

And that's just the start. You can combine any number of different flowers to create virtually any message.

So before you choose the flowers that you want to appear in your tattoo design, it's best to find out the meanings and symbolism of different varieties of flower. That will allow you to mix and match the flowers in your design until they convey the exact message that you want. So with that in mind here's a list of the most popular flowers used for tattoo designs and what they mean.
