daisy tattoos for women

If you love daisies, why not also buy them online to decorate your home? You can send flowers to yourself and choose from many arrangements such as the Gerbera daisies.

It is a common misconception that floral tattoos are for women only but this is simply not the case. There are some designs, particularly using the image of the rose which is often seen combined with daggers or skulls, which are actually very masculine. However, there are certain designs that are definitely for the fairer sex only and these include daisy tattoos. This is certainly one of the most feminine images around and you are unlikely to find a man sporting this design. The daisy is very delicate and ladylike in appearance and is one abbreviation used for the name Margaret. These tend to come in small, dainty designs that are very cute but also very beautiful. While the daisy may signify different things to different people it is generally synonymous with purity and innocence although it is also associated with peace, love, faithfulness and sisterhood. These pretty designs look particularly good on locations such as the ankle, foot or shoulder.

In horticulture, the common daisy can be found in central, northern and western Europe where it is often referred to as the Lawn or English Daisy. However its scientific name Belis Perennis originates from the Latin language and translates as perpetual beauty. Chaucer, the medieval poets had his own name for it – the eye of the day – due to the fact that is closes its petals at the end of the day and opens them again at morning light.

The daisy has very positive connotations for all of us as it is one of nature’s natural beauties but has strong symbolism behind it too. It is a much loved symbol and daisy tattoos can be adapted to signify differing things depending on how it is posed and the colors used in the design’s creation. One of the most popular meanings is innocence and this originates from medieval times when it was linked to the baby Jesus, the ultimate symbol of childhood innocence. However during the latter part of the 20^th Century, it was adopted by the peace movement in the sixties as a symbol of all that they stood for.

Many people simply choose daisy tattoos today because they are beautiful, joyful images that brighten up our lives. Tiny daisies may be seen adorning girls’ wrists, ankles, hands and feet while larger designs may be more complex and cover a much larger area such as the back or rib cage. However as the daisy is fairly simplistic in its genetic design, it may be more difficult to find a design that is original. Perhaps the best way to individualize your chosen image is to customize the colors to suit your own preference or even to combine the daisy design with other images. If this appeals to you it is vital to thoroughly research your options using quality online galleries to inspire you. And finally, you want to ensure you have an experienced tattooist with the necessary skill to transform your skin.
