Cherry Tattoo Photo #3819

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.

The ribcage offers a private placement that only shows when the wearer chooses. Its curved surface adds dimension to designs, though the area is known for being one of the more sensitive spots to tattoo.
