Linework Biceps Tattoo With Whip Shading of Daffodils

This ia a beautiful piece. The linework is so neat, the lines steady and even. Add to that the whip shading, and it’s as if you can feel the texture of the leaves. I like the placement but must admit that I find that the tattoo’s dimensions don’t necessarily fit or enhance the “canvas” provided here.. What do you think?

Color Tattoo of Daffodils on Lower Forearm

When jewelry just won’t do, a tattoo will. The curve of the stems adds a light, airy feel, beautifully highlighting the wrist. It’s interesting how this tattoo is positioned on the inside of the forearm, visible to both the client and others, and always by your side.

It’s so nice to see this grouping of different flowers, each beautiful in its own way. I really like the bell of the Daffodil in this piece – just look at how proud and classy it is!

This gorgeous piece is absolutely to die for. I love how it looks like a splendid piece of jewelry on this client’s arm.

It also makes the Daffodils the focal point, nestled within the “arms” of a beautiful Crescent moon.

Fineline Tattoo of Daffodils on Forearm

This piece looks so sweet and dainty, thanks to fineline style. Aesthetically, the shading on the petals is beautiful, and also serves to contrast with the thin black lines seen elsewhere in the design. Technically it should be pointed out that the lines are somewhat uneven and irregular. Regardless, this is one very pretty tattoo.

Color Forearm Tattoo of Daffodil Bouquet

The vibrant color palette in this piece immediately caught my attention. All the flowers look amazing, but my favorite are definitely the bright yellow Daffodils. It’s interesting that there’s a “π” sign next to the bow. It’s the Greek letter “pi”, that’s used as a mathematical symbol. I wonder what it means here. Regardless, this tattoo is not only beautiful, but also beautifully showcases a design and its location as the perfect match for one another.

I absolutely adore single line pieces! No shading or coloring is needed for this design to stand out, thanks to the mesmerizing, hypnotic loops of one, single, black line. It actually looks just like the artist took pen to paper, or in this case ink to skin, to create this little beauty.

Watercolor Tattoo of Mouse, Daffodil and Rice Plant

I honestly went “Aww!” when I first saw this piece. I just adore how the mouse is hiding inside the Daffodil, perhaps mistaking it for the rice. Beyond this, the inking in this tattoo is really beautiful. There’s skilled shading on display, along with exquisite use of white ink highlights and negative or uninked space. The wispiness of the stems are then like… The Icing On The Cake

Black and Gray Arm Tattoo of Daffodil

I love the raindrops on the petals of the Daffodil, they’re a small but endearing touch. The shading seen here is muted and delicate, perfect for the subtleness of this piece. Although this tattoo would look perfect on its own, it also meshes well with the existing tattoos. I wonder if the client will be getting a botanical full-sleeve, because she’s off to a great start!

The leaves, in particular, have a dewy-fresh appearance thanks to the light seen reflecting off them. White ink also nicely highlights the petals of the Daffodils. Props to the artist at IG: @muetattoox.

Minimal Matching Tattoos of Daffodils on Forearm and Ankle

It looks like one client is the proud “owner” of these two delicate tattoos. The lines in each are smooth and steady, and the negative space around each Daffodil makes them pop even more. Either tattoo, or the pair, would be perfect for the tattoo-newbie as they’re subtle, in regards to both size and location.

Linework Tattoo of Daffodils Over Triceps

The linework in this design is simply impeccable. I really like how no shading or color is needed for this design to look so rich in texture. Look at the graceful curves of the leaves, whose darker lines make them a perfect contrast to the softer petals. I love how the lower end of the leaves from a ‘V” which beautifully highlights the elbow. Never knew the elbow could look so…Sexy

Linework Forearm Tattoo of Daffodil with Circular Frame

This is such a unique piece. It caught my attention right away thanks to the striped, borderless circular frame around the Daffodil. The linework on the petals is delicate, while that of the circle is significantly more bold. This difference serves to add interest to the overall design.
