Flower Tattoos for Girls

There are innumerable flower tattoos for girls designs and ideas, you can also let your imagination wild and incorporate the flower design with other images like a butterfly or cross. It is also important that you know about the flower tattoo meanings before you get yourself inked. Showcasing your beliefs and inclinations with the help of bodywork is a very appealing idea especially because the tattoo art is permanent.

The Symbolism of a Butterfly Tattoo

Now, butterfly tattoo designs are symbolic of the freedom of a woman. Further, the transformation of a butterfly from a caterpillar to its original self represents the blossoming of a female, from a girl to a woman. One could also interpret the emergence of a butterfly from its cocoon as breaking free from all that was binding, and discovering newer avenues for oneself. Symbolic of the power of women, butterfly tattoos for girls may be placed on any body part, and in different designs that appeal to each of them individually. For some it may be a symbol of power, of transformation, of breaking free, of freedom, of diversity and variety, a symbol of their pleasant and bright personalities, of creativity, of intelligence, of their love for nature, and even as a symbol of virginity.

Lori Shares Some Peonies, and a Fairy Mermaid

When I post here at Tattoosday, there is no definite chronological order. I tend to follow a variety of factors, which can often result in older encounters waiting in the wings for a very long time.

Take Lori, for example. At the beginning of May, while my wife was at Maimonides Hospital in Brooklyn, fighting a bout of appendicitis, I walked over to a pizzeria on 50^th Street and Fort Hamilton Parkway for a quick bite for lunch. On my way out, I noticed  two women at a table, one of whom, Lori, had some pretty nice ink. Generally, one of my unwritten rules is not to bother people while they are eating, so I handed the woman my card and asked her to contact me if she was interested in contributing to Tattoosday.

Lori e-mailed me shortly thereafter, and a few weeks later, she sent me some photos. Since then, she has been patiently waiting for the post. E-mailed submissions tend to get a little lost in the shuffle but, finally, thanks to a little nudge on our Facebook page, we’re finally seeing them here on the site.

I’ll let Lori explain what we’re seeing:

“Here are 2 peonies, one is a flash stencil, done by Mike B. at Studio Enigma on Avenue U [in Brooklyn] .... the other peony (my favorite), was hand drawn by Pablo Barada, who is from Argentina [also at Studio Enigma] …

The Fairy mermaid was a picture I found just surfing the internet,  so I printed it out. I wish I still had the black and white photo before Mike B. colored it in. Now that I look at it, I think the B&W was much prettier. By the way, she took 18 hours to do, six three-hour sittings.”

Thanks to Lori for sharing some of her tattoos with us here on Tattoosday!
