Chrysanthemum Tattoo Photo #11575

In Japan, the chrysanthemum holds imperial significance and represents autumn, while in Chinese culture it connects to a life lived with integrity. The flower's many layered petals also suggest complexity and depth of character.

Achieving lifelike results in skin requires mastery of light, shadow, and color blending. Realistic tattoos often look three-dimensional, with subjects appearing to emerge from the skin surface.

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.
