Cherry Tattoo Photo #3803

As a small fruit tattoo, it is an easy way to show personality and self-expression with a bit of playful charm. In Japanese culture, cherry blossoms (sakura) carry deeper meaning about the fleeting nature of life.

Using lines of varying thickness to define shape and depth, linework tattoos achieve expression through economy. The absence of shading keeps the focus on the quality and flow of each stroke.

Forearm tattoos benefit from a natural canvas that follows the arm's long shape. Designs can wrap around the arm or sit on the inner or outer surface, giving flexibility in how the tattoo is displayed.
