Cherry Blossom Tattoo Designs

You see cherry blossom tattoos on many women these days as these such designs have grown in popularity among tattoo aficionados and first timers alike. This rush for distinct tattoos of cherry blossoms has given rise to a great interest in the meaning and symbolism of the cherry blossom in both the Chinese and Japanese cultures.

Since tattoos are very personal things, they can say a lot about a person so getting the right tattoo for the right reason is important. Since cherry blossoms mean different things in Chinese and Japanese society you should be aware that peoples of those backgrounds might react quite differently when they see it.

If you have decided upon a tattoo incorporating cherry blossoms you should be very selective over whom you get to apply the design to your skin. Japanese art is very intricate as is the cherry tree itself so you need somebody who has experience in this type of tattoo. Make sure you talk over with them exactly what you want and don't be afraid to ask for amendments to their initial drawings so that the finished article is something you are happy to live with for the rest of your life.

So there you have it, I hope this overview of the meaning and symbolism of the cherry tree blossom has been useful in making up your mind about that tattoo you've been after.

One of the most popular types of tattoo is the sleeve tattoo. These tattoos are not just arm tattoos, like what most people know. They are tattoos that look like sleeves because they cover a large area of one part of the body (e.g. an arm or leg) with little or no skin showing.

The designs of sleeve tattoos are very intricate and complicated. Usually, they are colourful and depict several images with some unusual designs or patterns. These are popular among boys, especially those who belong in a rock band. But these days, you will see many girls sporting sleeve tattoos on their arms or legs.

If you are also planning to get a sleeve tattoo for yourself, here are some popular sleeve tattoo ideas.

If you are into Japanese culture, you can combine different popular Japanese tattoos for your sleeve tattoo such as cherry blossoms, kanji or Japanese characters, koi fish, and samurai designs. Old Japanese culture includes ancient tattooing. And what better way to bring that culture back to life than by using Japanese designs for your tattoo.

For females who want to have sleeve tattoos, floral design is a great sleeve tattoo idea. Different styles and patterns of flowers interwoven with leaves and twines can be a very interesting sleeve tattoo design. Flower sleeve tattoos also give you a chance to use bright colors for the flowers. Some nice flower tattoos that you can use for your sleeve tattoos are hibiscus and roses. For the rose tattoo, this can be both feminine and masculine, depending on how it was drawn.

Celtic tattoos usually feature knotworks that are very intricate and detailed. This knotwork covers one whole arm or leg. Some artists can draw animal tattoos using these knotworks. Celtic tattoos usually come in one color but it is up to you if you like to have a colourful celtic tattoo.

One of the most popular sleeve tattoo ideas, especially among young men, is the tribal tattoo. Heavy black lines are one of the most obvious features of a tribal tattoo. The color of the tattoo is black and if you used a colored ink instead, it might seem a little different.

As you probably know, these tattoos are large and their designs or patterns are very complicated. You have to know that the larger and more complicated the tattoo is, the more expensive it will be. You also have to know that a popular artist will more likely ask you for a higher payment.

Pamela David so sexy and mbuhai

























Modern Day Woodstock Hippie

Primark dress, Asos heels and fringe bag, hand made dream catchers, H&M cuffs, various jewelry.

Sometimes I just want to dress for the fun of it, this is one of those outfits were on a whim I threw it all together and decided it worked! When I get ready in the morning (Or when i am being really lazy the afternoon) I always put piece's together that I think will look nice, sometimes I can end up with 4 or 5 full looks to choose from! This is always handy for the week ahead as then those ideas are fresh in my mind!

I always find it interesting how people get dressed in the mornings, it is different for everyone! Maybe I should do some interviews on it! How do you get dressed in the mornings? Is it planned or do you put on whatever catches you eye?

I think this look is a bit hippie and boho, I love the 60'ish cut and 70's  pattern, and of course paired with fringing! This is definitely my modern day hippie look! I have swapped my peace sign for a dreamcatcher to tie in with the boho look! What are you favourite pieces from this look?

Witchy Woman and her dog


Wearing: Topshop top, H&M dress (worn underneath) and floppy hat, Urban Outfitters clutch, Handmade turquoise  bracelet, and Luxla Hexnut bracelet.

I have been feeling the urge to dress in more mysterious ensembles recently, I think it must be all the inspiring american stores such as Spanish Moss and American Gold! You have already seen this top a long time ago, it has the perfect amount of sheer and beautiful billowing sleeves! I though rather than team this beautiful pale pink with brown and nude (which is my usual go to) I would pair it with tougher black accessories! 

I still of course couldn't resist a bit of turquoise that compliments my new Luxla Hexnut bracelet beautifully. If you haven't heard of Luxla already it is the amazing jewelry line brain child of Amanda McCombs and Lina Bardovi! These luxe girls run the entire company and put delicate detail into everything they do. From marketing, collaborating with other designers and bloggers, producing photo shoots to hand making every piece themselves, there is nothing they can't do.  Check them out here.

Oh and how could I forget, meet Rodney our new puppy, he brings so much sunshine into my life right now! He really is the sweetest and funniest little boy! We are a family known for strange pets (my sister has two alpaca's here ) but rodney is by far the most loving!
