36 Alluring Chrysanthemum Tattoo Ideas to Inspire You in 2024

This delightful piece features such clean linework and shading. The white highlights though are what really bringsthis design to life. They’re subtle but very powerful. Just be aware that as the ink isn’t densely packed there might be the tendency for fading, requiring touch-ups in the future.

We start off strong with a powerful design coming from the studio of artist IG: @japanese.ink. If you’re looking for something to cover the entirety of your arm, this one will definitely do the job. I mean, who wouldn’t want such an eye-catching sleeve? The lines are crisp and the opaque areas densely packed. You definitely won’t have to worry about this sleeve fading. Aesthetically, this piece is off-the-charts; the sensuous swirls of black ink at the shoulder and wrist are like parentheses highlighting this awesome design. Gorgeous

What I like most about this piece is its placement, allowing you to easily admire it from any angle. The Chrysanthemum wraps around the forearm yet isn’t subject to distortion. And then there are those leaves which beautifully extend above the elbow onto the arm, and downward onto the wrist. This tattoo looks like…Poetry In Motion

I love the look of the solid black outlines in this piece. They not only provide definition but will guard against the tattoo from fading. Placement for a tattoo, just like for a painting, is everything. Here the leg provides the perfect “canvas” for this long, linear design.

Here comes something for fans of linework! I love the clean execution seen here, especially the linework shading that creates such a classic look. The Chrysanthemum itself highlights the shoulder as it mirrors the natural contours found here. There’s also plenty of room here to add additional pieces in the future, even creating a half-sleeve.

Here’s another example of the relationship between design and positioning. Look how perfectly this tattoo fits over the client’s shoulder! I’m loving it. I also like how the artist makes use of the client’s natural skin tone to create the lighter shades of the flower. It’s a brilliant use of negative or uninked space.

Here comes another spooky ink piece, but this one features a deadly cobra wrapping its body around a Chrysanthemum. I love the striking contrast between the intimidating, dangerous animal and the delicate, beautiful flower. The lines are crisp and even, demonstrating real skill on the part of the artist, IG: @fun.tattooing.

This design sets itself apart thanks to the lack of outlines on the Chrysanthemums. I really like how that makes the flowers look so unique and classy, like flawless prints on marble. Overall, the design is also a good fit for the “canvas” provided by the upper arm.

I absolutely adore this piece! Everything about it is unique: the placement, the color palette, the art style and the design idea! My favorite thing about the piece is how the petals wrap around this client’s head, framing the ear so perfectly. If bold is your game, here’s something cooler than natural hair, right?

What a magnificent piece this one is. I like that the whole design wraps around the client’s neck and runs all the way to the back of the ear. The linear design really accentuates the long, slender line of the neck. The tattoo’s style also nicely matches the other pieces; all showcasing that this client is not afraid of bold, in-your-face designs.Props to the artist at IG: @ashleynicoletattoos for this amazing blackwork piece.

I love the Chinese influence in this piece, with its typical Lunar New Year lucky charms and red color, which is widely known to represent luck. The butterflies are also lovely additions to the whole composition, making it so much more lively and graceful. And who wouldn’t notice the dangling cord, complete with jeweled accents! It really appears to be swaying in a gentle breeze over the skin. Lovely

Are you a fan of symmetry? If so, here’s a piece that you will definitely find very attractive. I really like how the two flowers are exactly the same, mirror images, creating such a balanced composition. The blackwork is so clean, and simply flawless too. All that’s needed is…Your Strapless LBD

Are you looking for matching tattoos? With just a little tweak in color, these nearly mirror image designs could be a perfect option for you. The lines are even and steady, opaque areas are well packed, and the flowing cords are not only beautiful but provide the perfect amount of movement. Gorgeous

This is one unexpected design. I love the vibrant colors – you can never go wrong with the combination of purple and pink. The skull is simply fantastic, and the whip shading adds so much texture to the whole piece. Framed by the Chrysanthemum, the skull really stands out and is the focal point of this piece. Marvelous work done by the artist at IG: @tattoosnob!

Now, this one is absolutely beautiful. I really like the ink effect that makes the piece look like an ancient piece of art. If you’re into delicate pieces like this, check out the artist’s IG profile @tattooist_soma for more amazing tattoos!

I adore this magnificent piece. It has such a mystical vibe, perhaps because of the blackwork style and its unique design. I really like that the artist incorporates full-black opaque areas alongside lighter areas, highlighted by only subtle shading. Wonderful work by the artist IG: @zittenofart!

I love the abstract design of this Chrysanthemum; everything about it is alluring from its symmetry to its lack of color. Additionally, I love how the artist makes use of whip shading to significantly add dimension to the piece. There’s also a perfect marriage here of design and position. The heavily inked petals beautifully highlight the neck while the upper and lower contours of the tattoo make great use of the “canvas” provided here. Intense, Beautiful

I adore designs that are influenced by Asian art. The folding fan is designed in such a unique style, decorated with a beautiful Chrysanthemum. This seems to be a very good addition to this client’s leg, considering all of his other existing tattoos. Stylistically it’s similar to them and also fits perfectly between the upper and lower ones, framing and highlighting them.

I’m in awe of how detailed this piece is. Every single petal, and every inch of the snake’s skin, is perfectly curated and appears simultaneously bold yet delicate. I love how the snake’s tail curves around the knee, framing it. This is a big, bold, beautiful piece that perfectly accents the lines of the client’s leg.

The first thing that caught my attention here is definitely the bright and vibrant shade of red. It’s really nice that the artist uses black to balance it out, making the piece eye-catching but not overwhelming. I love the orange sun on the side, too – what a creative and interesting touch! Together, this piece beautifully mirrors the contours of the shoulder, resembling a protective piece of decorative armour.

This has to be one of the most endearing pieces on the list! Look at those big round eyes that will melt anyone’s heart, them framed by a wreath of Chrysanthemums. This is a really a great way to forever immortalize the memory of your pet. Props to the artist IG: @gayagatto for the lovely piece!
