  • by — Jono Elderton

Botanical tattoos are some of the most enduring and popular designs to etch onto the skin. They range from the classic, time-honored rose tattoo to much more contemporary or realistic style choices that incorporate plants, flowers, and/or trees.

Flowers with unique and identifiable features, deep meanings, or even just brilliant looking petals bring forth the balance of life. Success and sacrifice, beauty and pain, love and hate, happiness and sadness, to name just a few of life’s amazing contradictions.

Botanical items can be the main theme or subject matter or be complementary to the main subject. Flowers are versatile, meaningful symbols that every man should explore in their body art should it suit their design. Tree tattoos symbolize knowledge, growth, and wisdom.

These tattoos can be incorporated into every single tattoo style you can think of, ranging from simple black ink and linework designs to wild and interesting neo-traditional and new wave concepts.

Check out this epic collection of the top 59 botanical tattoo ideas that can help you develop the perfect concept for your own piece of body art.
