Flower tattoos symbolize and represent many different things to many different people. They may embody growth, rebirth, or renewal in one’s life. They may personify a connection with nature, or the visual cue may elicit the appropriate (to the species) sense of smell to recall a special moment from one’s past. They may be a direct reminder of a bouquet used on someone’s wedding day or milestone anniversary. They may denote a favorite destination in the world where the flower is known to thrive (i.e. as a hibiscus is to Hawaii, et cetera). Or, someone may simply adore the way they look.
But instead of going the traditional route for a flower tattoo in regards to style (American Traditional or Color Realism) you have something else in mind; the dotwork style of tattooing. The style involves inking a series of dots that come together to create the desired image. While ANY flower species works well in the dotwork style (when done by a specialist) the most commonly requested dotwork flower tattoo designs include the following species:
- Peony flowers
- Water lilies
- Lilies
- Roses
- Chrysanthemums
- Cherry blossoms
- Lotus flower
- Hibiscus
- Orchids
As alluded to above, for a dotwork flower tattoo to work, the work must be completed by a tattooist who specializes in the style. Understanding this, you have not only come online in search of examples to inspire yours, you hope to find a studio near you (in Toronto) to get the work done right. Below are examples that have been completed within the walls of our downtown Toronto tattoo studio. Dani (view bio and link to IG portfolio) is our dotwork specialist who also has a talent for Neo-Traditional and Illustrative styles. Each style works exquisitely with dotwork, creating an idyllic hybrid that will make your flower tattoo bloom! Moreover, Dani can combine your desired flower/s with other subjects for an even more statement-making piece. This is all conveyed by a number of the featured works in the collages below.
