Style guide
Floral & Botanical tattoos
The garden, engraved.
Scientific-illustration botanicals: accurate stems, leaves and blooms rendered with etching-style detail. Botanical work differs from generic "flower tattoos" in its accuracy — a peony reads as a peony. It flatters every placement, wraps limbs naturally, and pairs with fine line or dotwork shading.
