Inside: Colorfully saturated Alstroemeria tattoo ideas you’ll love.
Flower tattoos will forever be a classic. They’re elegant, delicate, and oh-so-beautiful. You really can’t go wrong! I think the best part about flower tattoos is that there are so many options to choose from.
There are thousands of species of flowers out there, and it would be impossible for me to cover them all in one article, not to mention I would be doing each flower a disservice by not giving them enough spotlight. So the star of the show today is the Alstroemeria! Say that five times fast.
I found some of the most adorable alstroemeria tattoo ideas for you to look through to get a good feel for your style and tattooing goals. This flower is pleasing not only to the eyes but the heart too. That’s right; it has its own symbolism! So before we get into the ideas, let’s cover the meaning behind those petals.
Alstroemeria Flower Symbolism
Many tattoos in the world have some kind of symbolism behind it. Whether it’s a flower, a clock, an animal, everyone likes to have some sort of meaning to their ink. Though this is not always the case, I have found that it adds depth to a tattoo and can be a source of inspiration.
According to this article, “The flower(alstroemeria) symbolizes devotion and friendship. Its leaves grow upside, twisting out from the stem as it grows – much like the twists, turns, and growth of friendships. Alstroemeria is also a symbol of wealth, fortune, and prosperity. White – Color white, in general, is a symbol of purity and spirituality.”
Isn’t that beautiful? I think this flower would make a great tattoo to get with your best friend as matching ink! I mean, with that message behind it…you couldn’t beat it.
Alstroemeria Tattoo Cost
An Alstromeria can cost anywhere from $75 to over $1000. I know this may seem like a wide gap, but it all comes down to a few key factors such as: Size, Detail, Time frame, and your shop’s prices.
I can’t tell you exactly how much yours will cost, but a good rule to keep in mind is the smaller the tattoo, the smaller the bill. When you are setting your tattoo appointment, make sure to let your tattoo artist know your budget and they can help you plan accordingly.
Always remember to factor in some kind of tip for your artist.
Will This Tattoo Hurt?
I can confidently say that this will be a yes, but don’t let that deter you. Tattoos hurt; this is a whole part of their M.O. But you can do a few things to help lessen the pain when you are in the tattoo chair.
1. Numbing Cream – Numbing creams are some of my favorite tools that I bring with me when I get a big tattoo. I always start out strong, but by the 2nd hour, I’m usually ready to tap out. This numbing cream brings crazy relief. You can also get it in a spray version.
2. Pick a less painful spot – It is no secret that tattoos hurt, but you may not be aware that there are certain zones on the body that hurt less. These places include meatier spots like your thighs, arms, and basically anywhere that your bones are less on the surface. This means you should avoid your hands, ribs, ankle, etc.
And there you have it. Now that we have covered the logistics, I think it is about time we get into the exciting part: take a look at the most adorable alstroemeria tattoo ideas (even some with animals!) you will ever see. It may be hard to pick with all of these great options.
