Originating from Central Asia and later becoming the defining flower of the Netherlands, it carries associations with spring, fresh starts, and fleeting perfection. In European culture, tulips represent honor, reputation, and deep affection.

Combining the strong linework of traditional tattooing with contemporary shading and color theory, neo-traditional pieces feel both familiar and fresh. The style allows for more realistic proportions while keeping the iconic bold look.

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.
