Botanical

Delicate drawings of flowers, leaves and branches, like a botanical study.

botanical tattoo by Mali

Nature gives me lots of ideas, and I look closely at what makes each flower different. I wouldn’t draw a poppy in the same way as a peony or a dandelion.

When I draw a botanical tattoo, I think about where you’ll wear it: the curve of your shoulder, the line of your spine or the way your forearm turns.

It can be a small flower on the wrist or a large composition across the back, and it pairs beautifully with fine line, watercolour or micro-realism. If a flower means something to you, tell me: sometimes that’s what shapes the design.

Frequently asked questions

Which flower should I choose for a tattoo?

The one that means something to you: your birth month flower, the one from your grandmother’s house, one from a trip. If you’re unsure, I’ll suggest a few that suit the shape of the area.

Can I get a bouquet with my family’s flowers?

Yes, it’s a lovely idea and quite common. Each flower represents someone, and I put them into one bouquet, adapting the drawing to your chosen placement.

Black or colour?

In black fine line, it looks more delicate and won’t go out of style. A few touches of watercolour make it brighter. Both work; it depends on what you like.

Can you picture yours?

Tell me what you have in mind, where you want it and roughly how big. I’ll get back to you so we can design it together.
