Orchid Flower Tattoo Designs

Orchid flower tattoos are the only flower tattoos that combine both femininity and masculinity. They also rotate between the simple and the complex in a fascinating way. That is; they are simple in design yet very deep in meaning, design and color. What’s more orchid tattoos come in thousands of designs and colors to choose from.
Symbolism
The orchid is a flower known to symbolize wisdom, beauty, love and luxury. They are large flowers that blossom in bunches. They are a popular flower tattoo choice because of their beauty and brightness in color when engraved into your body. Their boldness of orchid flower tattoos gives character to whichever part of the body you choose to have them engraved. They also have deep symbolic meanings which push many to choose them as tattoo symbols.
Get a trial
Because it may be difficult to decide which orchid flower design to settle for, it’s advisable to have a temporary tattoo which you can then wear for maybe two weeks. If it’s impressive enough, you can go back to the tattooist for a permanent incision. For those who may be afraid of the pain that comes with getting a tattoo, or those who don’t like permanent marks on their bodies, there is the option of fake orchid flower tattoos. These last for only a few days or weeks. Because orchid flower tattoos are so enchanting, you can keep getting a different shape, color and size of your fake tattoo.
Orchid flower tattoos and masculinity
Men will go for orchid flower tattoos because it’s a symbol of the perfect man. Indeed, the Greek word “orchis” from which the name orchid is derived means testicles, which is literally man’s power. At one point, the purple orchid was slang for penis. With so much sexual symbolism, it’s no wonder that men have taken a liking for the orchid flower as a tattoo.
