Inside: Adorable Buttercup Tattoo Designs
When you are thinking about getting a floral tattoo, it can be ridiculously hard to pinpoint what kind of flower you want to include. I have been there before, trust me.
I have found that one of the best things to consider when choosing a flower, is which ones have had the biggest part in your life. I know that can be kind of a funny thing to imagine, a flower being a part of your life, but they are.
Whether it’s the first flower you ever picked, the kind that filled your lawn as you grew up, or if it was the first that was given to you, specific flower tattoos can end up meaning a lot to us.
Most of the time without us even knowing.
So if you are someone who loves Buttercup flowers…then do I have the list for you! Deciding on the flower may feel like the hard part, but in reality, the hard part is figuring out the style and placement of your piece. I can help you with that. But first, let’s discuss this beautifully vibrant flower!

Buttercup Flower Meaning
Buttercups are most closely aligned with children. They are these tiny golden flowers that many youngsters will pick when they are outside. This is how I first became acquainted with them, and they bring me right back to my childhood because of this!
Since they are associated with children, buttercup flowers hold many symbols that are linked to the qualities of a child: Joy, Naivety, and Wonder.
Joy:Â because of its beautiful golden yellow color. Yellow is the color most associated with joy and happiness, so this makes sense. Though the color itself is a happy one, nothing can quite compare to the simple joys of being a child. They are not bogged down by the weight of the world, and they are more able to be happy because of this. So if you want to bring more joy into your life, you can get this tattooed on you as a reminder!
Naivety:Â because of a child’s naive nature. This may sound like a bad thing, but in reality, it is not. What power is there in focussing on the bad things in life? None! It just holds you back from experiencing the true joys of life. So if you would like a daily reminder to focus on the good…then this is the flower for you to get tattooed!
Wonder: This one is my favorite. Have you ever seen a child pick a flower…they are absolutely mesmerized and excited by such a simple small thing. To find beauty in the mundane is one of the biggest superpowers that children possess. It is this power that can ensure you a happy and fulfilled life as an adult. Now that is a message I can stand behind.
How Much Does A Small Flower Tattoo Cost?
The price of your buttercup tattoo will vary based on many factors. Things like location, size, color, detail and personal cost will differ from shop to shop. Your buttercup tattoo could range from tiny($50-$100), to huge($300-$1000). It truly all depends on the tattoo itself.
Always make sure to have a pricing discussion with your tattoo shop and artist before getting the work done so you aren’t shocked by an unexpected price at the end.
Yellow Flower Tattoo Pain
This one also largely depends on where it is you are getting your tattoo. A good thing to keep in mind is that the places where the bones are closer to the surface will hurt more than the meatier spots.
This is due to there being more nerves in those places that are less protected by fat layers. If this is going to be your first tattoo then I would say to go for the forearm. This tends to be one of the least painful spots on the body!
All in all, though, a tattoo is going to hurt regardless of placement. But that should scare you away from them, it is so worth it. Getting a tattoo is also a wonderful way to prove to yourself how tuff you are. So go for it.
Now that we covered the meanings, cost, and pain that come with a buttercup tattoo…we can get into the fun part: inspiration! I have compiled a list of the cutest and coolest buttercup tattoo ideas that you have to look through to get a good idea about what it is that you are looking for in your own ink.
