These days, more and more women are getting tattoos.  As more women  decide to get tattoos, flower designs continue to rise in popularity.   The best thing about 
flower tattoos is the fact that  there are many different colors and types of flowers – providing many  different meanings as well.  The flowers can mean a few different  things, although specific types of flowers such as the rose and the  Lilly may have a more specific meaning.
In general, 
flower tattoos have a connection  with nature, bringing up thoughts and images of life and vitality.  Anytime we look at a flower, we see the duration of life, simply flowers  connect with us in the sense that we both grow.  Flowers emerge from  the earth and continue to grow on a daily basis.  Then, the flowers  bloom, knowing that they will later dry up and start to wilt away.
Having  a tattoo with a flower brings back the entire process known as life.   Keep in mind however, that different colors and flowers on tattoos will  symbolize other things as well.  White flower tattoos symbolize purity,  while 
red flower  tattoos can symbolize a burning passion.  There are many  colors and designs available, giving plenty of meaning to those desiring  flower tattoos.
Roses are the most common flower  design for tattoos, symbolizing love.  During the turn of the 16th  century, roses were tattooed on those who were sentenced to death.  If  they were to escape from the gallows, the rose tattoo would serve as a  symbol to easily recognize them.  These days, roses symbolize both love  and passion.  Roses have long been known as a romantic flower, popular  for special occasions with the ones we love.
In  the western regions, rose  tattoos are a symbol of love and purity.  In the Eastern regions  however, love and purity are symbolized by a lotus flower.  Tattoos that  feature lotus flowers also bring a little more meaning to the table.   Lotus tattoos are also known to symbolize fortune, peace, beauty, and  goodness.  Even though roses are the most popular tattoos in North  America, Lotus flower tattoos are more common in other regions.
Other  examples include the acacia 
flower  tattoo which is the symbol for love and friendship.  There are some  people with Irish heritage who choose to get tattoos with the flower  known as the Bells of Ireland.  This flower is well known throughout  Ireland, with the tattoo symbolizing good luck.  Irish who have this  tattoo are known to be lucky, or have an insane trend with luck.
Those who think of themselves  as being the perfect lover may want to get a tulip tattooed on their  arm.  Tattoos with tulips represent passionate love and fame for being a  great lover.  If you happen to be shy and timid, you may want to go  with a violet 
flower tattoo  instead.  Violets are common tattoos for those who are shy and timid,  and enjoy taking things slow.  Those wanting to symbolize wisdom and  virtue on the other hand, would be well to get an Iris.  Magnolias are  also common with flower tattoos, as they symbolize an individual’s love  for nature.
Flower tattoos are very common and  popular designs these days, giving plenty of meaning behind their  beauty.  The flowers can be large or small and as bold as you wish them  to be.  No matter which flower you have decided to use with your tattoo,  you can ensure that the flower says the meaning you are looking for.
