6 fine-line flower tattoo ideas and where to wear them
A rose, a peony, a sunflower, a lotus, a wildflower sheet and a snake in bloom: six fine-line flower tattoos and the placements that suit them.
Flowers are the most requested fine-line tattoos for a reason: thin lines make petals look light and delicate, and a bloom fits almost anywhere on the body. Here are six of our favourite floral designs, what each one is often read as, and where it looks best.
1. The long stem rose
Roses are often read as love and devotion. Our long stem rose has a single bloom and two leaves on a tall stem, sized to run along the inner forearm. More in rose tattoos.
2. The peony
Peonies are often linked with good fortune and a full, happy life. The peony shoulder tattoo is one rounded bloom that sits on the back of the shoulder and peeks out of a tank top.
3. The sunflower
Sunflowers turn toward the light, which is why many people wear them as a reminder to stay hopeful. The sunflower ankle tattoo is small, with a short stem and one leaf for the outer ankle. See all sunflower tattoos.
4. The lotus mandala
The lotus grows out of muddy water, so it is often read as growth and a fresh start. The lotus mandala pairs a small lotus with a dotted half mandala on the back of the hand. Browse lotus tattoos.
5. A whole field of wildflowers
Can't pick just one? The wildflower sheets give you two pages of small wildflowers and roses to scatter on wrists, ankles and fingers, or to share with friends. Find more in small flower tattoos.
6. Snake and wildflowers
For something with a little edge, the snake and wildflowers design winds a slender snake through small blooms and follows the curve of the upper arm.
