Foliage tattoos by Ray Reasoner Jr.

Flowers: Though an obvious topic there is a miriad of topics as well as ways to utilize them in a tattoo. There are many different ways to make foliage fit any part of the body. Common flowers of choice are:

_______________________________________________

Cherry Blossom: The cherry blossom represents living life to the fullest. It is one of the few flowers that falls before wilting. (see Asian)

Chrysanthemum: Symbolizes autumn in some European cultures, and henceforth death or dying . (See Asian)

Daisy: This flower is associated with wanting love. "He loves me, He loves me not."

Hibiscus: A beautiful tropical plant.

Iris: The three upright petals symbolize faith, valor, and wisdom. The fleur de lis is a stylized form of the iris.

Lilies: These are beautiful flowers that come in many color variations. There are also water lilies, which are more similar to the lotus in shape and the environment where they grow.

Lotus: These are flowers that grow from the mud and the muck to bring beauty to the swamp. In Hinduism it represents purity. To me it represents rising above your situations and surroundings to bring beauty into the world.

Orchid: Represents spring, and therefore healing and rebirth to some degree. This member of the Four Gentlemen symbolizes nobility and honor since they release their beauty regardless of who is nearby. This mirrors someone that creates beauty or keeps their morals regardless of the situation.

Peony: The peony is symbolic of wealth. This wealth is not necessarily a material wealth as much as an overall prosperity for a unified group working toward a common wealth of happiness.

Plumeria: In Hawaii the plumeria symbolizes spring, rebirth, and life.

Roses: Roses have quite a bit of symbolism associated with them, depending on their color.
