Being discreet, adorable, and quick to get done make tiny sunflower tattoos a surefire hit with many tattoo enthusiasts.

13. Traditional Sunflower Tattoo

Sometimes classics are classics because they truly are timelessly appealing. This applies to many things, including but not limited to cars, music, and tattoos.

While it can be a thin line to walk when trying to find a design that is appealing but not cliche, sunflowers are commonplace enough they have come full circle.

Instead of being so common it’s unoriginal, a traditional sunflower tattoo is timelessly lovely and unlikely to lose its appeal as trends change. While it is true that the brighter a tattoo is colored, the easier it is for it to fade, traditional sunflower tattoos have the unique ability to still look good or even improve in appearance over time.

The traditional design evokes Americana, a simpler sort of life than most people are currently able to live; faded ink adds to this aesthetic. Still, if touchups are needed, a traditional sunflower is straightforward enough to be a simple job.

Sunflowers and images of sunflowers are wildly popular for many reasons. Sunflowers tend to be tougher than other flowers and can grow so tall they seem to form a silent jungle within their stalks. On clothing and skin as tattoos, sunflowers are much like red or coral lipstick in that they are universally flattering.

It can be overwhelming to face all the options for sunflower tattoos and try to make a decision. But really, if none of the ones you see feel right, do not feel obligated or pressured to choose one.

Some tattoo artists will help you pick out the right design for you, and others may have the time and skill to create a custom-designed piece or work with you to create or modify something.

Don’t be afraid to have only a vague idea of what you want, but don’t be surprised if most artists prefer you have a solid plan in place before they work on you. Research the designs that interest you and enjoy your new body art!
