It’s very common for people who get tattoos to do so because they are beautiful to look at. So if you want a tattoo to give private pleasure to a loved one or for everyone in the world to see, the pattern you choose says something about you and about what you want to say to others in your appearance. So thinking through the background meanings of different tattoo designs will help you make a good choice of this permanent form of body art.
If you see someone else with a great tattoo, that curiosity you feel makes you want to find out why they chose it and what meaning the pattern has both historically and to the wearer. Maybe that is why tattoos that are images from the cultures of the Far East are so popular. They often have such a great legacy of symbolism to them. That is certainly true of the cherry blossom pattern which comes down to us from China and Japan.
As a woman, finding a design that is beautiful and elegant makes your venture into tattooing fun and meaningful to you at a personal level. A tattoo can be just as much of a fashion accessory as your clothes or jewelry so the cherry blossom tattoo can fit your fashion sense in a lovely way. It’s helpful to know that the origin of the orange blossom image in artwork comes from China and Japan and that in China the cherry blossom is a strong symbol of womanhood, feminine strength and female sexuality. So if you have a cherry blossom tattoo placed on your shoulder or above the breast, it’s an elegant way of expressing your femininity and your strength and independence as well.
The Japanese culture lends some deeply philosophical and spiritual meanings to the cherry blossom which makes this tattoo a good statement for either gender if the wearer is a seeker. Because the cherry blossom remains lovely for a very short time, as a symbol it beautiful reminds us that life itself is stunningly lovely but that it passes quickly so we must savor every moment.
There is a reason that tattoos are often called “body art”. If you are seeking a tattoo that has the aspects of art of beauty, meaning and thought provoking concepts, the cherry blossom is a great choice. In Japanese culture, the fallen cherry blossom is a powerful image of the tragedy of youth and the passing of something beautiful. In art, the image of a flower on the snow is one that communicates that spiritual concept and can lead to deep reflection about the nature of life, youth and the passing and return of beauty to the world each year. Your tattoo can also artistically suggest these ideas.
In oriental culture, the young male warrior is another artistic image of youth, beauty and strength. And especially in Japanese culture, the gentle courage of the orange blossom to emerge at the height of perfection only to fall to the ground so quickly is an artistic symbol of the valor of the warrior.
Similarly because the orange blossom speaks of the perfection of the young that passes far too quickly, it is a beautiful way of paying honor to a lost young person in your own life whose time in life was sadly cut short. For those of us who are seeing our own youth slip away and want to wear a symbol honor that time of our lives when we were all about potential and the excitement of youth, the orange blossom is a touching way to pass from that time to the time of gracious aging and embracing the good of that time of our lives.
There are a lot of great designs to choose from when considering a tattoo. But for an elegant and beautiful design that also brings with it layers of depth of meaning and symbolism, you can’t beat the orange blossom design. It’s classy and gorgeous for that lady who wants to make a statement on femininity and strong and regal for the guy who wants a tattoo that is rich with meaning.
