I was recently asked by a very chill client to tattoo a black dahlia flower on him. I had never tattooed this type of flower before, so I was very excited for the opportunity to do so.
He wanted the tattoo to be placed in a unique spot as well. The requested sot was on the back of his arm, just above his elbow. Personally, I think this is a neat spot to have a tattoo!
Here is the line work for his flower.
I tattoo lots of flowers on girls, so it's always interesting when men ask for them. I think more guys would get flowers tattooed on them but they don't, for fear of being mocked. This is quite unfortunate! I think it's all about how you do execute the tattoo, guys!
For example, my client wanted a beautiful flower but he wanted it to still retain an air of masculinity. So instead of creating a super colorful flower, we stuck with dark tones. I used mostly black to color in his flower, along with a wash of burgundy, and pale cream highlights, just to give it life.
In the end he was very happy with his new flower tattoo. Here's had it turned out!
I had so much fun tattooing the black dahlia! It makes me want to tattoo more unique flowers!
