One of the most versatile floral body art designs around has to be that for the blossom tattoo as it makes a very beautiful image when inked on the skin that is ideal for both men and women, on its own or accompanied by other images. This also works well on almost any body part and can be scaled to suit small, medium and large areas of skin.
Surprisingly, men actually opt for flowers within their tattoo design almost as much as women, although they tend to accompany theirs with more masculine images such as skulls and daggers. Women on the other hand will go for more feminine and delicate images to use in conjunction with their blossom tattoo such as exotic birds, butterflies, dragonflies, lady bugs and even fairies. This particular image is also a favorite with those who like oriental designs as this co-ordinates well with other images of a related theme from dragons and koi fish, to geishas and Japanese Kanji designs. The Japanese cherry blossom is a popular image on its own particularly when used for smaller more feminine tattoos however there are a wide range of Chinese blossoms also. Let us take a look at some of these now in more details.
To the Chinese, a blossom tattoo is associated with feminine beauty, love and passion and not surprisingly these are a favorite design for many young woman who opt to have them inked on areas such as the ankle, foot, hip, rib cage and belly button. However if you are a fan of Asian-style tattoo art then this particular image could be combined with a few words or a quote that is of special significance to you. For a really authentic feel you could have the script done using Chinese characters but if this idea appeals to you choose an area for the placement that offers a longer canvas of skin. This is because Chinese writing flows vertically, from top to bottom, so this would be ideally suited to the back or rib cage and will look particularly stylish.
Alternatively if you prefer just to use an image without script, there are different ways to depict blossom and it does not necessarily have to be illustrated in full, with branches, leaves, flowers and even the tree. The Sakura blossom flowers make very distinctive body art on their own, particularly when several are inked together in bright vibrant colors so why not opt for three or four of these strategically placed running down your back or across your shoulder? One of the most popular blossom designs is that of the plum blossom which is of a more subtle design as the colors are more subdued to give a more natural effect.
