Birth Flower Tattoos

Every month has a flower: carnation in January, violet in February, daffodil in March, daisy in April, lily of the valley in May, rose in June, water lily in July, poppy in August, aster in September, marigold in October, chrysanthemum in November and holly in December. A birth flower tattoo is an elegant way to carry someone with you without writing their name or a date.

The favorite use is a bouquet: combining the birth flowers of a mother and her children, or of siblings, into a single bunch. Drawn in fine line, these designs look good in small, elongated forms on the inner wrist, inner arm, collarbone and ribs.

Things to know about Birth Flower Tattoos

Build the bouquet together

If you're combining several people's flowers, try each flower separately, then ask your artist to merge them into a single flow; it's easier to balance order and size this way.

Some months have two flowers

Snowdrop in January, larkspur in July and gladiolus in August are also mentioned. Decide which to choose by looking at its meaning and its lines.

Fine lines need size

In flowers that are shrunk too much, the leaf veins merge over time. Choosing a long, slender branch instead of a short stem preserves the detail.
