The Symbolism of birth flowers

One of the things I love most about flower tattoos is how deeply personal they can be. They carry rich meanings across different cultures and traditions, and incorporating these stories can make your design even more special. Here are a few examples of some of the symbolism:

Zodiac Flowers

Each month of the year is associated with a birth flower, making them a beautiful way to celebrate a loved one or yourself. For example:

  • January: Carnation – Symbolizing love, fascination, and distinction.

  • July: Larkspur – Representing positivity, dignity, and an open heart.

Japanese Flower Meanings

In Japanese culture, flowers hold profound meanings and are often used to convey emotions. Some examples include:

  • Cherry Blossom (Sakura): A symbol of the fleeting nature of life and beauty.

  • Chrysanthemum: Representing longevity, loyalty, and rejuvenation.

  • Lotus: Symbolizes purity, resilience, spiritual awakening.

Traditional Western Meanings

In Western traditions, flowers often carry symbolic meanings rooted in the Victorian language of flowers. Examples include:

  • Rose: Love and passion (with different colors symbolizing different types of love).

  • Lavender: Devotion, calmness, and serenity.

If there’s a specific flower that’s meaningful to you, I’d love to incorporate its symbolism into your tattoo to make it even more personal.
