35 Beautiful Cherry Blossom Tattoo Ideas for Men & Women in 2024

Pink Cherry Blossoms turn a deep maroon-red in the Fall. Summer is over but will always be remembered with just a glance down at your feet. It’s really nice how this twig twists around the ankle and onto the leg and foot. Even without much shading, these Cherry Blossoms are a standout.

This is a beautiful design highlighted by color choice. The pink cherry blossoms lend a delicate feel to the more dramatic colors of the bag. Perhaps a case for jewels, the bag is dramatically accented with a red “velvet” ribbon tied in a bow. Of course the artist was sure to include some gold beads. But of course

This watercolor cherry blossom tattoo gives off a light, delicate feel. Here splashes of color spill from the outlines just as they might with a watercolor painting. With tattoos and actual paintings, it’s easy for this style to get messy. Luckily this artist has skills and avoids any mess.

Even without any color, these Cherry Blossoms make you think of the pretty blooms you might see in Japan or Washington DC. This linear design fits perfectly on the back but is perhaps too wide. I find the more narrow designs that taper over the spine to be more interesting and definitely more alluring. Guess it depends on the look you’re going for.

At first glance you might see only the two lovely Cherry Blossoms. Look again and then you see the circle created with squiggly black lines. Is this symbolic of the earth, the sun? While I’m not sure I do love the symmetry and balance it provides. With Minimal style tattoos, a theme is deconstructed into its most basic components. Maybe the point here is that we’re all connected.

Thin black lines, no shading nor color all emphasize the delicate feel of cherry blossoms. So delicate that it looks like a gentle breeze swept this branch right onto the chest which perfectly frames the design. Of course the branch follows the natural curves here making it A Perfect Fit

Cherry Blossoms – little clouds of pinks and whites. Not these! These are in your face bold with solid planes of black ink. The design also perfectly fills all of the provided canvas. Bold on its own, this design could also be built upon with additional inking in the future.

Not wanting to miss out on any elements of traditional Japanese tattoos, we’ve got the sun, cherry blossoms, a crane, a Koi fish and a deity all right here. Wow – that’s a lot but it works. There’s a simplicity achieved with the Old School style using a basic color palette and minimal shading. There’s also the use of negative space between and around all these elements. This provides “room” for them all to co-exist together.

When I think of Cherry Blossoms, pretty Watercolor paintings just like this tattoo come to mind. Just like with real watercolors you have to be careful to avoid the design getting messy. Here that’s avoided with the skilled precise application of color.

Hand tattoos are not common. They’re typically bold, in-you-face and therefore not for everyone. The palms are also a notoriously hard place to ink. The skin can be callused or thicker than other areas making it hard to ink. There’s also a faster shedding and regrowth of skin resulting in the fading of the tattoo. You might need repeated touch ups; something to consider. This Cherry Blossom has simple, clean, strong lines which might last longer. It’s also super cool.

A Cherry Blossom branch is a creative design for an armband. Replacing the customary angular, geometric designs, a soft Japanese Watercolor embraces the arm. With the space between the falling petals a sense of movement is created; like there’s a gentle breeze. Ahh – a summer day.

This Old School tattoo has some of its typical characteristics: black outlines, simple color palette and simple shading. But there’s plenty new – this isn’t your grandpa’s Old School tattoo of a flag or a pin-up girl. This Japanese Cherry Blossom tattoo beautifully follows the curve of the scalp from the nape of the neck up and around the ear. There’s even some petals at the hairline. This is one fresh design. Now you may think this tattoo is more super hardcore, but at least she could grow her hair back to hide it unlike with a neck tattoo.

Thin black lines and lack of shading give these Cherry Blossoms a nice light feeling. Next to the guitar it feels like they might be dancing. Not sure what the white patch means. What do you think?

This is such a nice Cherry Blossom Tattoo. The small delicate blossoms and tapering design delicately accent the top of the forearm. What’s really nice is the unexpected heavy black ink at the top. It creates a focal point and provides some added drama to this tattoo. You can feel this branch stemming off of the cherry blossom tree.

I really like the bold effect the red ink has on this piece. By only adding a touch of color, the artist did a great job adding life to this tattoo.

These delicate Cherry Blossoms are made all the more important by the inclusion of the moon. It’s a small touch that “grounds” the blossoms; they’re no longer left to just “float” in space. Subtle yes – but one that separates a great artist from the crowd.

This is a beautifully designed Fineline tattoo. Everything is perfect. The Subject: Cherry blossoms – dainty and delicate. The Style: Fineline with its thin black lines accentuating the lightness of the subject.
