Tribal Flower Tattoos
Almost all flowers have symbolic meaning, tribal flower tattoos can be used to to display this meaning.
Cherry blossom symbolizes life’s transience, due to the fact that it has a short blooming span, according to Japanese folk lore, whilst in the view of the Chinese it stands for female beauty and love.
A Lily signifies purity and innocence in the western worlds, whereas Egyptian mythology decrees that it signifies fertility.
Flowers have spoken to me more than I can tell in written words.
They are the hieroglyphics of angels, loved by all men for the beauty of their character, though few can decipher even fragments of their meaning.
~Lydia M. Child
Have you ever seen a flower down
Sometimes angels skip around
And in their blissful state of glee
Bump into a daisy or sweet pea.
~Jessi Lane Adams
I perhaps owe having become a painter to flowers.
~Claude Monet
The flowers of late winter and early spring occupy places in our hearts well out of proportion to their size.
~Gertrude S. Wister
Flowers have an expression of countenance as much as men or animals.
Some seem to smile;
some have a sad expression;
some are pensive and diffident;
others again are plain, honest and upright,
like the broad-faced sunflower and the hollyhock.
~Henry Ward Beecher,
