“Peonies are the new rose,” tattoo artist Gianna Caranfa tells Bustle via email. “They are delicate, feminine and soft.” According to flower delivery service Urban Stems, peonies symbolize love, honor, happiness, romance, and beauty. No wonder so many people are interested in floral tattoos.
There are so many designs considering, and even more styles to ponder. Not sure which style you want to opt for? Whether you prefer the delicacy of fine lines, the simplicity of minimalist looks, or the realistic aesthetic, here are seven peony tattoo designs that will get you hyped to make your next tattoo appointment.
2Fine Line
Fine line tattoos have been rising in popularity for a few years now, and the technique looks beautiful paired with a peony tattoo. Inked NYC tattoo artist Katherine Vargas tells Bustle that while some think fine line tattoos don’t hold up because of how light they look, that isn’t the case.
“If the artist knows what they’re doing, it will heal perfectly,” she says. Definitely do your research finding a fine line artist, as these tattoos can require maintenance if not taken care of properly (ex: sunscreen, moisturizing). “Although everyone’s skin is different, the most this tattoo would need is just a second touch up.”
