Plants tattoos in Japan
Plant tattoos are a collection of works depicting plants such as leaves, vines, trees, autumn leaves, bamboo, and mushrooms. Flower designs also fall into this category, but if you're looking for specific types of flowers, the flower page is more comprehensive. This subject offers high flexibility in placement, such as compositions where vines or branches extend along the shape of an arm or leg, or a small one-point tattoo of a single leaf.

Questions
What's the difference from the flower page?
In addition to flowers, the plant page includes works of non-floral plants such as leaves, vines, trees, autumn leaves, and bamboo. If you're looking for specific types of flowers like roses or cherry blossoms, the flower page is suitable. If you're primarily looking for branches, leaves, or vines, this page is more appropriate.
How are leaf and vine tattoos typically used?
You'll see designs with a small single leaf, vines wrapped around an arm or ankle, or leaves decorating the area around flowers or text. In Japanese traditional (wabori), autumn leaves and bamboo are sometimes depicted as backgrounds.
Should I decide where on the body to place a plant tattoo?
Vines and branches gain movement when they follow the lines of the body, so deciding where they start and end will help facilitate the consultation. Sharing the desired orientation, such as whether it wraps from the inside to the outside of the arm, will make it easier to share your vision. Prices vary by artist. Visiting Japan?
