Flower Tattoo Designs for Women and Men

Usually flowers are seen as the symbol of the feminine. In many cultures they define life, fertility and the cycles of birth and rebirth. Each flower has its hidden meanings. For this very reason the flower tattoo designs are back in the top of the most popular tattoo designs.

The truth is that we all like flowers. Women and men everywhere choose flower tattoos for various reasons: some for the beauty of a flower tattoo, others for the religious or mystical significations. For example a flower tattoo design representing a lotus could symbolize truth, light, perfection. A lotus means purity and has a great spiritual significance for Buddhists. The lotus flower is present in many Chinese tattoo designs.

Christian tattoos usually depict a red rose, as the blood of Christ. Rose tattoos are as popular with women as they are with men. Usually men prefer religious symbols: a rose and a cross, or black roses as a symbol of death. Women choose the rose as a symbol of love and only rarely get tattooed with black flowers.

The color of the flower is also important. White means purity, blue goodness, red passionate love while yellow depicts sometimes joy and sometimes jealousy. Flower designs are so popular because they never seem to go out fashion: they are a real classic among tattoos. Aside the lotus and the rose, other popular flower designs include daisies, hibiscus, sunflowers and lilies. All these flowers could either mean purity, innocence, beauty, jealousy, falsehood and so on, depending on their color and on the composition of the design.

You should be really careful what design you choose: you wouldn't want your tattoo to transmit the wrong message. So go on, read the articles in our article archives to learn more about the signification of each flower tattoo.
