While vibrant colors might fit perfectly with one person’s style and tastes, for others there is no beating the understated elegance of black and gray work; and while some may scoff at the idea of almost any floral tattoos in black and gray, these tattoos demonstrate just how striking these pieces can be. 

One reason that lilacs are well suited to black and gray illustration is the unmistakable shape of these flowers: with their tight bunches of tiny buds, lilacs are instantly recognizable. These tattoos demonstrate just how successfully a lilac image can be applied using the precise lines and smooth shade characteristics black and gray tattoo design features.

Flowers and color go together like peanut butter and jelly and because of this, it only makes sense that people would choose to apply their lilac tattoos in vibrant colors. Some people prefer their favorite flower inked as colored tattoos to match their personalities. Flowers provide the perfect opportunity to add a splash of color to their skin. 

While most people tend to choose the common lilac, usually in purple shades, this charming flower comes in a variety of colors that hold their own specific meanings. Purple shades are commonly associated with first love, while the meaning of white lilacs are associated with childhood and innocence. Blue lilac tattoo designs represent happiness and tranquility.
