Daisy and Sweet pea

Innocence and loyal love for the daisy; gratitude and fond farewells for the sweet pea, which is why it often appears in memorial pieces.

How daisy works as a tattoo

Daisies are among the most forgiving flowers to tattoo small. Sweet peas have ruffled petals that need room to read.

Where to put it

A single bloom suits a wrist, ankle or shoulder. Several flowers together — a family bouquet, for instance — need the space of a forearm, thigh or back. Check how much each placement hurts on the pain chart before deciding.

Styles that suit it

Floral work sits naturally in minimalist and fine-line, in blackwork where the silhouette carries the design, in watercolor when you want the colour to bleed, and in old school where bold outlines keep it readable for decades.
