Chrysanthemum
Loyalty and lasting friendship in most Western readings. In parts of Europe and East Asia it is strongly associated with mourning and funerals.
The layered petals suit Japanese-style work, where the chrysanthemum has its own long tradition.
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.
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.
