Tattoos of flowers and plants can be done simply because they are beautiful designs. But flowers can also carry a lot of symbolism to the person who chooses a flower tattoo. Even the color of the flower can hold special meaning. For example, a red rose would express true love and devotion, while a yellow rose symbolizes friendship. Lotus flower tattoos are very popular in Asian and Japanese designs. (Photo credit: Flower tattoo by Mike Erwin, Studio City Tattoo, Studio City, CA.)

Black and Grey Tattoos
Black and grey tattoos are generally believed to have originated within prison systems, where inmates had no access to colored ink. The technique was brought to mainstream tattoo shops by Jack Rudy and his mentor, Charlie Cartwright. They perfected a single-needle tattoo machine to produce highly realistic shading in their tattoo designs. This technique works well for portraiture.

Angel Tattoos
Angel tattoos look stunning and show the world your angelic side. Men and women often get them since they represent devotion, strength and chastity and can provide a sense of guidance. Popular designs include angel wing tattoos, cherubs, the archangels, and the guardian angels.
