These Talented Artists Will Inspire You to Get a Botanical Tattoo – Sunset via Sunset Magazine

Posted on by

You want a tattoo and are thinking of taking inspiration from the garden? You’re not alone. When it comes to choosing a design, you can’t really go wrong with the classics. The red rose is a tattoo standby for a reason: the flower has long held connotations of love and beauty, yet it’s also armed with thorns. It’s pretty much the only vintage flower tattoo that burly men have historically worn without compromising their masculinity. But it’s not the only botanical tattoo out there.
