Japanese Flower Tattoo FAQs

Are tattoos illegal in Japan?

Not currently, but they are heavily stigmatized. Attitudes are slowly changing, but body art has been linked with criminality by the Japanese government.

Yakuza organized crime gangs flaunted laws banning tattoo and adorned themselves with elaborate, full-body tattoos of exceptional detail and quality, a style now popular in Western tattoo art.

What are the most popular Japanese style flower tattoo ideas?

Flowers can be the main theme (Shudai) or a complementary aspect (Keshoubori) in Japanese tattoos. Most famous include:

  • Cherry blossom (Sakura)
  • Peony (Botan)
  • Chrysanthemum (Kiku)
  • Maple Leaves (Momiji)
  • Lotus flower (Hasunohana)
  • Plum blossom (Ume)

Pine trees, Bonsai, and bamboo are also popular nature themes linked to Japanese Irezumi.

What does a cherry blossom tattoo symbolize?

In traditional Irezumi, sakura were depicted as a secondary (keshoubori) motif to signify the short life of samurai. or

They can also be a symbol of feminine beauty used to even up a hyper masculine design, such as a tiger, dragon, or the fierce Hannya Mask.

What do different color lotus flower tattoos mean?

The color of a lotus affects its symbolic meaning in Buddhist teachings, a perception that can also translates to the world of tattoo:

  • White lotus and pink lotus flowers (the most common) are attributed to purity
  • Red lotus, purple lotus, and blue lotus flower blooms can mean ascension, spiritual enlightenment, and spiritual rebirth
  • A green lotus flower is commonly linked to self-improvement
  • The black lotus symbolizes authority, power, and death
