Although you might be drawn to more traditional blooms like roses, tattoos are not held to the limitations of a flower shop.
You can open up your mind to a world of possibilities when you add wildflowers to the mix.
Wildflowers are complex and layered in symbolic meaning. By their nature, wildflowers are hardy and opportunistic.
They are survivors that bloom in conditions of adversity, and they bring beauty to unexpected places. They are also mysterious.
No one knows for sure how or why a wildflower might grow in a certain place; they represent absolute freedom and a wildness that cannot be contained.
There is also a sweetness and naivete that can be associated with a bouquet of wildflowers. The thought conjures a mental image of young sweethearts picking blooms along the road.
Unlike expensive florist arrangements, wildflower bouquets come from the heart.
If these meanings resonate with you, a wildflower tattoo might be perfect. Individual plants also have their own symbolic meanings and historical significance. Many wildflowers are also herbs with medicinal or even poisonous properties.
These layers of meaning can add greater depth to your tattoo design and work to create something truly unique. With so many colors, shapes and patterns to choose from, no two wildflower tattoo design ideas need to be alike.
