Flowers are subjects that cross different styles and genres of tattoos. The flower expresses beauty, delicacy and transience. It harmonizes with the part of the body where it is positioned, allowing the tattoo artist to play with light/dark lines and shades to give consistency to its parts and lightness to its petals.
In the ornamental style its features are expressed with black ink, the petals become similar to ornamental feathers which give movement and lightness to the composition. They are peonies, chrysanthemums or lilies, large and flowing on legs and arms.
In the geometric they are stylized, similar to mandalas where the background of the skin becomes the contrasting element to the black of the design motifs.
Two-dimensional they appear on the skin, they lose their shape to enter the compositional game created by the tattoo artist, they lose their more realistic shape to become an element of the overall tattoo.
