Chrysanthemum Tattoo Photo #11608

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.

Blackwork tattoos use solid black ink in bold, graphic compositions. The style ranges from large filled areas and heavy patterns to intricate designs that rely on contrast between ink and bare skin.

The upper arm is a classic tattoo placement with enough space for medium to large designs. It's easy to cover with a short sleeve and serves as a natural starting point for a half or full sleeve.
