The Dahlia is a beautiful, mysterious flower that makes a great subject for floral tattoo designs featuring themes of elegance, love, and wealth.

Dahlias are native to Mexico and South America, with large tuberous blooms as one (or two) brightly colored flowers.

The Black Dahlia was popularized in the James Elroy novel of the same name, however, its popularity with tattoo collectors focuses on the various bright color blooms.

Dahlia tattoo designs often feature in flower bouquets alongside more popular flowers, such as daisies, roses, and its cousin, the sunflower.
