Chrysanthemum Tattoo Photo #11615

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.

Inspired by jewelry, architecture, and textile patterns, ornamental tattoos create intricate, decorative compositions on the skin. Precision and symmetry are key, giving these pieces an almost meditative quality.

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.
