Sakura often appears in designs for women's tattoos. However, sometimes the image of cherry blossom branches also adorns male bodies.

Meaning of sakura tattoo

Cherry blossoms symbolize spring, feminine beauty and youth. At the same time, she talks about the frailty and transience of existence. Therefore, the image of sakura also contains a pessimistic context.

It is also one of the main symbols of Japan, where every year the Hanami festival is held - contemplation of cherry blossoms. This wonderful phenomenon lasts no more than a week. Therefore, the image of this tree carries the message to appreciate the short moments of beauty that surrounds us.

Sakura tattoo design options

Blooming branches of Japanese cherry trees are most often depicted in watercolors. Miniature tattoos are located under the chest or on the feet. But more often sakura is stuffed on a large scale, decorating the forearms, sides, entire back or legs.

Cherry blossoms are depicted in bright pink tones. It is extremely rare for a tattoo to be black and white. Very often there are hieroglyphs in the sketch.

Options for a men's tattoo are sakura in monochrome or as a decorative element against the backdrop of Japanese landscapes. An option for the most daring – sleeves made using the black work technique.
