Sunflower Tattoos

[Kate Felicity]

Chinese culture views sunflowers as a good luck symbol and sign of longevity, believed to bring joy, health and wealth. Sunflowers can bring their owner much-needed blessings.

If you're considering getting a sunflower tattoo, there are numerous styles and themes to consider. From minimalistic designs to elaborate ones - there is sure to be one perfect for you!

Traditional

Sunflowers are an iconic choice when it comes to traditional tattoo designs, and look stunning no matter which style is being utilized - from old school to realism.

Flowers can also serve as symbols of friendship and longevity; often seen as signs that encourage positivity in those around us.

The sunflower is known for its ability to follow the sun wherever it goes, symbolizing life itself. The bright rays of its sun provide a powerful reminder to always stay positive and joyful even during difficult circumstances.

When choosing the appropriate sunflower tattoo design style for you, it's essential that you pick out one that speaks to you. For instance, newcomers to tattoo art might start off by starting with traditional designs featuring bold outlines and solid colors.

If you're more of an artist and looking to explore your creativity, illustrative tattoos could be just what's needed to bring out your best artistic skills. These tattoos take the form of illustrations from books or paintings and allow your tattoo artist to craft beautiful body art that looks as realistic as possible.

Geometric

The geometric sunflower tattoo is a contemporary take on classic flower designs. Combining elements of black-and-white shading, realistic styles, and geometry in a way that is both timeless and stunning is what sets it apart from its peers.

These tattoo designs often use dotwork - a technique which involves dotting small dots across a tattoo instead of smooth shading - as a way of adding interest and depth without making it too detailed. This method provides great way to add interest without adding unnecessary details to an intricate design.

When choosing a tattoo artist to design this type of piece for you, make sure they specialize in this specific art form and can create designs to your specifications.

Geometric tattoos generally consist of nothing but geometric figures, which may not work particularly well when depicting flowers due to their organic shape and unique features and curves that differentiate different species of flower. Furthermore, when creating this style of tattooing with only geometric features in mind, such as petals that distinguish each flower species become lost within such a rigid geometric design.

Floral

A flower sunflower tattoo can add both class and meaning. You could choose the sunflower to represent optimism, admiration or devotion - or anything else that's meaningful to you!

Add depth and meaning to a sunflower tattoo by personalizing it with words or quotes; make it extra meaningful by including your name in it, or mark an occasion like your wedding or reunion of friends with it as well. It makes a wonderful way of commemorating special relationships - think wedding or reunions amongst friends.

This flower tattoo is the ideal way for any woman looking to show her creative side. Subtle but stunning, this delicate ink piece will look absolutely beautiful on her shoulder.

Sunflowers make an excellent statement of femininity when worn by women who wish to exude feminine charm. Pair them with other flowers that symbolize similar meaning such as roses or orchids for added flair.

Combinations

Sunflower tattoos are among the most enduring floral tattoos. Offering multiple shapes and colors to choose from, sunflower tattoos offer an ideal way to show your uniqueness.

Combinations of sunflowers with other flowers can add depth and dimension to a tattoo design. Lilies and roses have complementary symbols which add extra interest.

Sunflowers make for great subjects for geometric designs. Geometric designs give tattoo artists plenty of opportunities to explore color, shading and contrast - something sunflowers don't.

A sunflower's simple shape lends itself easily to different styles, including geometric, mandala and fractal concepts. You could add either sun or moon figures depending on what message you wish to communicate.

Another popular contemporary approach to tattoo designs is sketch-style tattooing. Generally all black, these tattoos feature an abstract sketch design as their centerpiece.
