Some of us like getting flowers … and I don't mean the ones you put in a vase. Flower tattoos are timeless — they can be colorful or black and gray, they are symbolic and beautiful, a perfect adornment. Most of us can't only just get one.
Because there are so many flowers and design styles to choose from, you can decorate your body in many different flowers and have each one look very unique. Floral designs are gorgeous alone or decorating another piece. Here is a collection of 25 floral tattoos that will always be in bloom.
