Heavy black and grey shading gives a flower weight, and Japanese chrysanthemums and peonies have long been part of large men’s bodysuits. Combining a flower with a skull, a dagger or a snake adds contrast.
Flowers make great fillers too. They can bridge gaps between older tattoos on an arm, since their round shapes fit in almost anywhere. Our sleeve filler generator makes sets of smaller elements.
