dandelion tattoo

You've decided that you want your next tattoo to be a tribal dandelion tattoo. You don't want it to look like it is just any flower and you need help finding one that looks significantly different from any other.

You have decided to do some research but every time you use Google Image to find artwork for your desired tat, the same pictures come up. You can never find anything unique enough to actually get it embedded into your skin. Because you never come across something new, chances are that you won't be the only person to have that specific one. Well, here is what I recommend for finding better artwork.
The circular shape of the flower with the long stem makes it a bold design for a tattoo. A single color dandelion looks great with delicate shades that bring out its beauty. You can also go for a touch of color like pink, or a white highlight to make the flower design stand out. You can get the petals to make a fine horizontal design on your back, or have the design inked vertically on your leg or arm. Combine the Dandelion Tattoo with your favorite quote on flying, adventure, or freedom, and you have got yourself a really cool piece of body art.

I spend much of the year in Los Angeles going to university, while she still lives in Houston. I visit as often as I can—and I got this tattoo on my last visit with her. I was home for 3 days, and we spent every possible minute together, soaking up every moment and cherishing it. She was struggling, and I was hurting watching her in pain. I kissed her beautiful bald head and reminded her continuously that I loved her. That she is still beautiful. I supported her, gently, as we walked together, keeping pace with her cane and watching as she struggled to maintain motor control and steady her gait—walking became difficult as she tired at night. We joked about medications and nausea and the frustrations of ordering medically required, strictly vegan, low protein items at Starbucks and Mexican restaurants. We made a GenderQueer bear at Build-A-Bear and had a birthday party for her dogs (complete with puppy-friendly cake and vegan goodies). We laughed and cried and talked and just lived in the moment—together.

And we got tattoos together. I got the dandelion, which we had designed together months earlier, and she got the word “Mizpah” on her foot (which is the Hebrew word for “Watchtower” and also means the emotional bond between two people who are separated by distance or death…I will be getting the same tattoo later).
