What it means

In Japanese tattooing the peony is the king of flowers and stands for wealth, good fortune and a certain boldness. It is often paired with the lion-like fu dog or with a tiger, and it is one of the flowers that fills the background of larger Japanese work.

On its own it is a full, heavy bloom that suits a large placement, and it reads as Japanese even to people who do not know the meaning.
