Peony Tattoo

In the art of body painting, as you know, there is a peculiar cult of admiration for the aesthetics of flowers. A special place in this category of motifs is occupied by the work of tattoo artists with peonies. This flower is not simple, it contains a deep meaning.

The meaning of the peony tattoo

Peony is one of the most meaningful motifs in the art of body painting. It is always a good idea to know the maximum meanings of this motif and preferably before you decide to get a tattoo. In the East, this garden bush and its flowers in particular were considered an imperial flower, as well as one of the symbols of Yang energy. If we talk about the interpretation of the peony as a symbol, the following can be noted:

• Wealth;
• Prosperity in all things;
• Good luck.

Many Asian countries saw this lush flower as an embodiment of feminine beauty and joy. This flower was also used as one of the symbols of spring. In India, these flowers were seen as a symbol of pride, and in Ancient Greece, longevity. Christianity put innocence in the symbolism of peonies and often referred to the image of the Virgin Mary.

Ironically, the first bearers of tattoos depicting peonies were sailors. Mariners endowed these tattoos as a talisman, which helps to return home alive and unharmed.

Meaning for men

You would be mistaken if you think that a tattoo with peonies can not decorate the male body these days. Such a motif is often chosen because it carries a completely positive meaning. Among the main meanings of such a tattoo stands out:

• Protective function – to this day there is an opinion that the image of the peony keeps travelers;
• Longevity and success – many believe that the flower is able to bring a lot of benefits;
• The tattoo can say that the man knows how to manage his aggression and bad thoughts;
• The tattoo is also considered a symbol of contentment with life;
• Peony can also emphasize the fearlessness of the wearer, fortitude, masculinity and even brutality.

Meaning for women

The image of peony flowers in color is considered, oddly enough, a male type of tattoo. But modern views have erased such conventions, so the tattoo with a peony often adorns the female body. Most often, such tattoos are applied to the forearm, ankle or collarbone.

Regarding the meaning invested by women in the tattoo with a peony, it is worth noting the following:

• Happiness in marriage;
• Protection from negativity;
• Purity of mind;
• Good morals;
• Power over men;

It is sometimes believed that the peony flower can bring happiness to single women. This may be true. But to do such a tattoo or look for another option – only you decide. Also it is not necessary to refuse preliminary consultation with our tattoo artist.
