Tattoo Designs for Women
Mostly fine line and botanical: flowers, small creatures, and pieces sized to sit on a wrist, an ankle or a spine.
Every tattoo image on this site is a generated illustration. None of it is work by this artist and none of it records a client result.

Tattoo designs for women with meaning
A meaning is the sentence you can say about it without reading it off a list. These eight carry one with a real source, and each says whether that source is old or recent, because a younger meaning is still a meaning. Like everything on this page they are design ideas, drawn to be changed.
-
Closed bud
Something still under way. The lotus grows out of mud and opens clean above the water, which is the old Buddhist and Hindu reading of purity and waking up. The closed bud as a change not finished yet is a modern reading of the same plant.

-
Sampaguita
Home. The sampaguita has been the national flower of the Philippines since 1934, and it is strung into garlands for welcomes, offerings and graduations. Few flowers carry a meaning this close to the person wearing it.
-
Monarch
Change, and sometimes the soul. In ancient Greek one word, psyche, meant both soul and butterfly. Transformation through the chrysalis is the reading almost everyone gives it, and it is a fair one.
The butterfly, old readings and recent ones Send this design with your enquiry
-
From the ashes
Starting again after something burned down. The bird reborn from its own ashes comes from Greek and Roman writers. The Chinese and Japanese phoenix is a different bird with a different meaning, so say which one you mean.
-
Snake and lilies
Shedding a skin and coming out new. It is the oldest reading of the snake and the one that needs no defending. The betrayal reading people warn you about is much younger.
The snake, reading by reading Send this design with your enquiry
-
Classic nazar
Protection. The eye that turns an envious look back on whoever sent it has been carried for a very long time around the Mediterranean and the Middle East, as a bead, a charm and now a tattoo.
-
Moon phases mandala
Cycles, and that things come back. Moon phases around a mandala join two round symbols, and the wholeness reading of the mandala comes from Carl Jung about a hundred years ago. The cycle you mean is yours to name.
The mandala, diagram and decoration Send this design with your enquiry
-
Dandelion
A wish, or letting something go, in the seeds drifting off the head. A modern reading with no tradition behind it, which suits a tattoo about something you decided to release.
Worth knowing before you choose
This is the same set of drawings, cut by what gets asked for most often rather than by any rule about who wears what. Anyone can have anything here. The thing worth knowing before you choose is line weight: nearly all of this is fine line, and fine line spreads a little over the years, faster on a small piece and faster again somewhere that stretches or catches the sun. Drawn slightly larger, or with a slightly heavier line, the same design holds its shape for longer, and that is a normal thing to ask about.

Or describe what you actually want
None of these has to be it. Say what is closest, what you would change, where it goes and roughly how big, and the drawing comes back before anything is booked.
