More often than not we see lovely stand alone designs which are completely beautiful, however we personally love a colorful mixture of perhaps lilies, a rose and a smattering of daisies would be very appealing.



As for body location of flower tattoos, pretty much anything goes, however we love the shoulder artwork, both the upper arm and back shoulder area are excellent locations. Plus the ankle or foot is always a cute spot and the hip is becoming increasingly popular as well.

As you can see, the upper arm is one of the most requested locations for many of these designs, followed by the back and chest for larger masterpieces.



Besides the representation of your country of choice, we often see a variety of other culture inspired flag tattoos, such as military, religious and pirate designs, just to name a few.



Flag tattoos aren't always presented in a patriotic or flattering fashion, from time to time we'll see burning and torn designs that portray a sense of unrest rebellion or perhaps simply satirical rubbish. But to each his own, i suppose.
