By Darren Hartley


The meaning behind flowers tattoos can vary from culture to culture. The meaning in Japanese tattoo art may be quite different from its meaning in Mexican tattoo art. Before getting a flowers tattoo, it is best to make sure of getting the wanted design, the desired meaning and being okay with any possible additional connotation a certain flower may have.

The number of flowers in the world is almost equalled by the many meanings and symbols represented by flowers tattoos. Among the most popular flowers tattoos are lotus tattoos. They are not popular for what they what they symbolize but also for the cultures to which they are tied. Knowledge, understanding, enlightenment and life are the representations of the lotus flower.

In Japanese tattoo art, the cherry blossom tattoo is a very common design, often depicted as falling petals being caressed by the wind. Reflected in these flowers tattoos is a very unique Japanese trait, named mono no aware, meaning, the pathos of things or an empathy towards things.

Symbolizing royalty, power and respect, the hibiscus flower is a popular design for Hawaiian flower tattoos. It has been often worn by the old kings and queens of the Hawaiian island. Ultimately, because of this, the hibiscus became associated with the ruling class.

The Hawaiian islands has declared the hibiscus to be their state flower. As a symbol of their connection to their beautiful island, many natives wear these Hawaiian flower tattoos, which are also a representation of purity.

The hibiscus flower tattoo can simultaneously hold multiple meanings, the interpretation of which is influenced by the context of the tattoo. These Hawaiian flower tattoos, when appearing in a Japanese sleeve tattoo, would most likely mean gentle, instead of power or respect.

Hawaiian flower tattoos has become a popular choice for female tattoo designs because of their symbolisms of beauty and femininity. The plumeria or birds of paradise represents feminine ideals like peacefulness or a liking for natural surroundings.
