The vanilla flower tattoo is a great choice for a woman who wants a feminine tattoo design with a somewhat subtle, blooming beauty.
This design can be placed anywhere on the body that the wearer wishes to accentuate or beautify, such as the shoulder, back, or ankle.
Placement is key with any body modification, and with a vanilla tattoo, that is especially true. If you have an area of your skin that tends to hold scents or moisture better than other areas, you should avoid having your tattoo placed there.
For example, if you have an armpit that is prone to breaking out in acne and sweat easily, just think about how many people will be leaning in close when smelling this area of your body. Also, be sure not to shave before getting your vanilla tattoo, as the hair will help protect your skin from scabbing, which could lead to infection on freshly healed ink.
A delicate and beautiful flower adorns this vanilla tattoo. It’s the perfect way to show your love for flowers, or add a little something to your collection of geometrics. The strong lines and burst of color create an elegant but striking design that you can wear for any occasion.

They won’t fade throughout the day, but instead your delightfully delicate flower can be seen for a short time to make all of your friends jealous. Spice up your summer with this unique look, and remember to get it in an area that is easy to cover when needed.

Vanilla tattoo meanings and symbolism:
What do vanilla flower themed designs mean and symbolize?: The vanilla flower is a symbol of delicacy, beauty and subtlety. It is often seen as a representation of love and devotion due to its sweet scent and gentle appearance. The deep symbolism of the vanilla flower goes beyond its physical characteristics, however, as it can be viewed as a metaphor for life’s fragility and impermanence.
Female vanilla tattoo designs are often associated with the concept of sweetness, both in terms of their aroma and the emotions they evoke. This is partly because vanilla has long been used to flavor desserts, making it an integral part of many cultures’ cuisines. Vanilla’s delicate scent also adds to its symbolic meaning: It evokes feelings of tenderness and comfort that are important elements in relationships between people.
The shape of the vanilla flower itself is another source of symbolism: Its five petals represent the five senses — sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste — while its symmetrical construction suggests balance within one’s life. Additionally, each petal features three lines that symbolize faithfulness in relationships between people; these three lines can also be interpreted as representing past present future or body mind spirit – concepts commonly used in spiritual practices such as meditation or yoga.
In more traditional contexts outside western culture, vanilla has been imbued with even greater symbolic power: In some parts of India for example it is believed that offering someone a single blossom will bring them good luck for seven years. In Hawaii it was once said that gifting someone a bloom would bring eternal friendship between two people. And there are some African cultures who see giving or receiving this type of floral arrangement as an expression of gratitude towards ancestors. It’s a considerably reminiscent reminder of past offerings made at ancestral shrines.
Because the bloom fades quickly after being picked from its vine (vanilla flowers only last 24-48 hours), they have come to represent ephemerality in many different cultural contexts. Many women believe that the vanilla flower remind us that all things must eventually pass away no matter how beautiful they may appear now. This symbolic meaning resonates especially strongly today given our current state affairs, where uncertainty abounds across so many facets our lives.
