Narcissus refers to the genus of the daffodil family but also its ties to Greek Mythology. The split head of a Grecian woman, or a daffodil flower with skull inked into the center make for a good Narcissus tattoo idea.  

Other images in this section use more traditional daffodil tattoos, with minor changes to the design aspect, placement, or framing shapes used. In particular, the tattoo artist’s use of negative space to create differentiation between linework and message is done with clarity and skill, while heavy black ink for animals or frames adds interest to each, drawing attention to parts meant to section off the artwork.

The brilliance of daffodil flower tattoo is best exemplified through use of various color aspects. There’s truly amazing range in the yellow ink – it ranges from a washed out, hazy watercolor through to bright realistic, flaming orange, or even a banana bright colored flower tattoo.  

These different flowers are fantastic, conveying different meanings of the daffodil tattoo through color subtlety, supporting images of leaf and stem, or even incorporating animals. The degree of realism created by applying detailed white ink – both as a focal point to some flowers, or as a highlight to others – are the biggest standouts.  

Other images use color to augment black linework or traditional grayscale images to make cool tattoos matching the contrast in tattoo design.
