Flower tattoos are sweet and full of loveliness. From their colors to their shapes, to their fragrances, from the wild to the tamed, from the beautiful to the rather odd, there’s a flower tattoo to fit any requirement. The most popular of flowers chosen as tattoos are roses, sunflowers, lilies, lotus flowers, tulip and orchids. Besides their obvious beauty each of these flowers speaks of particular ideals.



Flower Tattoos As Roses


Nothing speaks of simple romance more than a bunch of red roses. The red rose has been associated with goddesses of love in Greek and Roman mythology and since then the red rose has been the definitive symbol for true love, souring passion and timelessness.

The Greek god of love Aphrodite is always shown as having roses adorned around her head and feet and these roses are known to be a representation of her slain lover Adonis. In this context rose flower tattoos means immortal love and unity between two lovers that can defy even death.

In Christianity it is a representation of purity and unblemished bliss as it adorns the beloved Mary. In roman times, the roses are used to honor the hero who gave their blood for their empire, so in this respect would mean sacrifice for honor.  Roses also stand for sensuality and passion as is evident through the gods of mischief and sexuality that are associated with it. Given the roses association with thons, they are also known to stand for balance and perspective.

Rose flower tattoos have a wide array of meanings and therefore many people who choose to get them inked have their story behind it.

You can’t help but smile when you see this towering sun plant, with its brown center and distinctive, well formed bright yellow petals. Sun flower tattoos have graced many bodies, in essence, to evoke the same feelings of child like happiness and a soul warming glow.

Lotus Flower Tattoos


The lotus flower the most holy of all flowers and has its roots deep into the religions of Buddhism and Hinduism. It is the flower associated with the Buddha himself and is known to represent the ultimate goal of that religion, which is enlightenment. Lotus flower tattoos will represent enlightenment as it emerges from murky dirty waters to form a stunning flower of unmatched beauty.

In Hinduism it is the flower associated with the goddess of wealth, Laxmi, the god of new beginnings, Ganesh, and Bramha, the god of all creation. A Hindu lotus flower tattoo will incorporate all of these ideas of riches, wealth, new beginning and creation. Lotus flower tattoos in popular culture is a symbol of triumph. Many people choose the lotus for this symbology as it shows that your background does not dictate what you can achieve.  Its where you are going that matters not where you’re from. It is akin to the underdog that emerges victorious.

Tulip Flower Tattoos


A tulip flower is an easy flower that does not bare the burden of immortal love, like the rose or the most spiritual of flowers, like the lotus. It is not too elegant, not too romantic, not too religious too big or not too small, tulips are just right. They are not flowers that need to be given only to your lover, or only in holy offerings, or only to mark certain occasions. They can be given to anyone, anytime! A tulip flower tattoo represents a simple easiness. A laid back attitude and not taking life to seriously. Its shows not to resist yourself, not be burdened and just to be a happy relaxed soul.
