Narcissus Tattoo

One need not study mythology too deeply to know the main association associated with the beautiful flower called the narcissus. This flower even today is compared to only one property of human nature – acute and complete narcissism. But what meanings can be put in the tattoo with the image of this flower – we will try to disclose the topic most fully.

The meaning of the narcissus tattoo

The image of a daffodil on the body today can not be called a rarity, but most often such a tattoo is simply a tribute to fashion. But we advise you to think about the meaning of the motif before you start the tattoo-master with this image. Modern interpretations of the symbol come from the past:

• The Greeks correlated the beautiful narcissus flower not only with a narcissistic young man, but also with death, as the delicate buds are very short-lived pleasing to the eye with their appearance;
• Muslims filled the flower with religious connotations – with them it symbolized righteousness;
• In Persian culture, daffodils were considered symbols of youth and external beauty;
• And the Chinese had these flowers as talismans, which can bring good luck and family happiness.

As a rule, a tattoo depicting a daffodil flower is considered a decoration of the female body. This can be explained quite simply – this flower is delicate and very beautiful, and everything beautiful is always associated with the fair sex and femininity. Very often girls choose the daffodil flower as a tattoo to give themselves confidence, to raise self-esteem and learn to love themselves.

Places to apply and styles of daffodil tattoo

Where to get a tattoo – it is up to each client to decide. However, the tattoo-master will not wish bad, if he offers to score the selected sketch not where you wanted. The thing is that on the location of the tattoo affects first of all the size of the picture. Most often, a picture of such a beautiful flower as the narcissus is thrust into a prominent place – the hand, forearm, ankle or cleavage area.
