Flower tattoos etched on the shoulder are increasingly innovative from a technical and style standpoint.

The shoulder is becoming a more frequent standalone flower tattoo placement, when previously this part of the body was a transit area for designs – a link point for chest and upper arm tattoos.

Creative tattoo artists are now better able to incorporate a range of flowers into the shoulder area, often using the flow of muscle and bone under skin to help accentuate the technical choice of body art.

The following collection of top 43 flower shoulder tattoos demonstrate the possibilities within the shoulder area that you can use for your next tattoo piece.
