Chrysanthemum Tattoo Photo #11595

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.

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.

A spine tattoo draws attention to the body's natural symmetry, creating a bold centerline that works well with flowing or geometric designs. The placement is dramatic and easily hidden under clothing.
