Tattoos For Flowers And Hawaiian Flower

By Darren Hartley


The meaning behind flowers tattoos can vary from culture to culture. The meaning in Japanese tattoo art may be quite different from its meaning in Mexican tattoo art. Before getting a flowers tattoo, it is best to make sure of getting the wanted design, the desired meaning and being okay with any possible additional connotation a certain flower may have.

The number of flowers in the world is almost equalled by the many meanings and symbols represented by empathic flowers tattoos. Among the most popular flowers tattoos are lotus tattoos. They are not popular for what they what they symbolize but also for the cultures to which they are tied. Knowledge, understanding, enlightenment and life are the representations of the lotus flower.

Very common in Japanese tattoo art is the cherry blossom tattoo. These flowers tattoos reflect a very unique Japanese trait, known as mono no aware, i.e., the pathos of things or an empathy towards things. These flowers are often depicted as falling petals being carried by the wind.

A form of popular Hawaiian flower tattoos is the hibiscus flowers, which symbolizes royalty, power and respect. Because it has been often worn by the old kings and queens of the Hawaiian islands, they ultimately became associated with the ruling class.

The hibiscus is the state flower of the Hawaii islands. Many of the Hawaiian natives wear these Hawaiian flower tattoos to symbolize their connection to their beautiful island. The hibiscus also represents purity.

Simultaneously holding a number of meanings, the connotation attached to a hibiscus flower tattoo totally depends on the context of the tattoo. The inclusion of these Hawaiian flower tattoos in a Japanese tattoo sleeve, for example, would refer to a trait of gentleness instead of its usual symbolism of power or respect.

Hawaiian flower tattoos has become a popular choice for female tattoo designs because of their symbolisms of beauty and femininity. The plumeria or birds of paradise represents feminine ideals like peacefulness or a liking for natural surroundings.
