Sunflower Tattoo Meaning

The sunflower represents energy and positive thinking. If it’s done in bright yellow color, then it also represents the happy nature of the person.

Sunflower Shoulder Tattoo

The shoulder is one of the most popular places for sunflower design. It gives adequate space for the large to mid-sized sunflower design.

Sunflower Rose Bear tattoo

Sunflower can be mixed with rose tattoo. If you are a wildlife lover, it goes well with bears, wolves, or tigers too. Just keep the sizes in proportion as in the below design so that it looks natural.

Sunflower with Quote

Since sunflower is circular, you can put a quote around the outer area. It will look good if the quote also resembles positive thinking.

Sunflower with Bees

The sunflower is a favorite flower of bees. They love to pollinate them and if you like bees and sunflowers, you can get a mix of these two. But, I didn’t like the below design because it’s not showing any connection. They can be put together in a single hand or in the shoulder area.

Sunflower Thigh Tattoo

If you don’t want to put the sunflower tattoo in the always visible area, then you can put them on your thighs. It’s an intimate place and also gives a large area to try out large designs. Thigh tattoos are also safe from exposure to sun and weather, so the ink will not fade away easily.
