When the time comes to complete your tattoo collection with magnificent, meaningful ink, you can’t go wrong with a flower tattoo. Flowers are some of the most popular tattoo motifs, and for a good reason, too – each blossom comes with its own story, symbolism, and beauty. What about a jasmine tattoo?
Choosing the right flower might be challenging, but that’s why we’re here to help. Whether you want to opt for a birth flower, a flower that represents someone special to you, or a flower that simply goes with the rest of your sticker sleeve, you’ve got your work cut out for you.
Work with your tattoo artist and come up with a flower design that consists of a jasmine flower, a rose, a peony, and whatever symbols and styles you’re gravitating toward. Experiment with whatever screams your name and you’re guaranteed to get out of the tattoo parlor with a smile on your face.
With that said, jasmine tattoos are much more than meets the eye. Jasmine tattoos typically represent peace, purity, respect, and good fortune – not to mention that white jasmine flowers are oftentimes deemed ” a gift from God” which might be something you’re on the lookout for.
Worry not, we’ve rounded up some of the most strikingly stunning floral tattoos to get you started.
1. A jasmine tattoo across the entire arm
Jasmine tattoos can be both small and simple or big, bold, and elaborate, depending on your style. Opt for a tattoo of a vine wrapping around the entire arm for a whimsical, magical tattoo that’s guaranteed to give you butterflies every time you catch a reflection of it in the mirror.
2. A jasmine tattoo on the shoulder
What about a jasmine tattoo on the shoulder? When picking the perfect placement for your next tattoo, you might want to go for a back shoulder tattoo. Back shoulder tattoos are popular because they’re easily concealed and revealed, depending on your needs – and they’re a great placement for bigger tattoos.
3. A colorful jasmine tattoo on the ribcage
Ribcage tattoos might not be for everyone, but they’re one of the most stunning, strikingly beautiful tattoo placements. Work with your tattoo artist to come up with a design that completes the curvatures of your body and you’re good to go.
4. A jasmine tattoo on the thigh
What’s great about thigh tattoos might be the fact that they’re sensual and seductive or the fact that they’re easy to conceal and reveal. Whatever your personal preferences might be, we’re pretty positive you’re going to appreciate the artistry of a delicate jasmine tattoo on your thigh.
5. A purple jasmine tattoo
Jasmine tattoos can carry a myriad of meanings, depending on the color of the flower, the style of the tattoo, and the symbols you decide to add to the final design. A purple jasmine flower, for example, represents spiritual growth, personal transformation, and enlightenment.
6. A tiny jasmine tattoo
If you’re searching for something small and simple, you might want to go for a jaunty jasmine tattoo on the wrist, finger, or even collarbone. It’s up to you whether you want to experiment with a blackwork tattoo or a colorful tattoo but we’re quite fond of soft pastels and rosy reflections.
7. A tattoo of a jasmine flower on the upper arm
Struggling with tattoo placement? Opt for an upper arm tattoo to showcase the style and symbolism of the design you and your tattoo artist end up with. What’s great about upper arm tattoos seems to be the fact that they’re extremely wearable and versatile, and that’s why they’re a great starting point, too.
8. A tattoo of a climbing jasmine flower on the shoulder
Jasmine flower tattoos are perfect for designs that wrap around the arm, the shoulder, or even the back because they’re extremely easy to work with. You can play with different elements, too, and add a little butterfly or a bird to the final design to amplify the meaning of the tattoo. You do you, boo.
9. A matching floral tattoo featuring a jasmine flower
What’s the tea on matching tattoos these days? Matching tattoos might be a bit cringy when they’re done the wrong way, but who’s to say you and your BFFs aren’t allowed to experiment with flowy, floral tattoos that almost always end up looking effortless and elegant?
A bouquet of flowers on your wrists sounds pretty freakin’ cute, right?
10. A white jasmine tattoo on the forearm
Jasmine tattoos are all the rage these days because you’re able to choose between different colors to change the meaning of the tattoo. Go for a white flower tattoo when you want to pay homage to your peace, purity, and good fortune because that’s exactly what white jasmine flowers represent.
11. A black jasmine tattoo on the ribcage
We’re not referring to black jasmine flowers, BTW! Blackwork tattoos are quite popular among tattoo-getters who aren’t fond of colored tattoos. Get a blackwork tattoo of a flower when you want to appear more elegant and chic – especially when you go for something as sensual as a ribcage tattoo.
12. A tattoo of a jasmine flower and a butterfly
When working on the perfect tattoo design with your tattoo artist, don’t shy away from exploring different styles and symbols that can “add a bit of spice” to your tattoo. A butterfly tattoo, for example, represents transformation, progress, and prosperity – all of which sound great for a tattoo.
13. A tattoo of freshly picked rosemary and jasmine
Why wouldn’t you want to add a sprinkle of rosemary to your jasmine tattoo? When coming up with the right design for your tattoo, you can always play with different flowers, plants, and botanical elements that promise to make your tattoo that much more “iconic.”
A rosemary tattoo, for example, represents love, friendship, and remembrance.
14. A tattoo of a pretty peony and jasmine
We can’t forget about peonies, right? Peonies can complement the rest of your tattoo because they’re seen as symbols of wealth, good fortune, and prosperity. What’s even better about peonies seems to be the fact that they’re big, bold, and beautiful, too.
15. A graphic jasmine tattoo
While people tend to opt for more realistic, colorful flower tattoos, that’s not the only style you can go for – you can experiment with graphic tattoos, too. Graphic tattoos are based on bold and clean lines, dots, geometric shapes, and elements that help them create realistic tattoos.
16. A fine-line jasmine tattoo
We can’t forget about fine-line tattoos, either. Fine-line tattoos are having a moment right now, and for a good reason, too – they’re soft and simple, and they’re perfect for first-timers who are afraid of going all out with tattoo sleeves and traditional tattoo styles.
17. A jasmine-themed tattoo sleeve
While we’re on the topic of sleeves, though, that might be something you’re searching for. A floral tattoo sleeve might be common, but that doesn’t mean that you aren’t allowed to add your touch by opting for flowers that mean something to you – a jasmine flower, a ficus tree, and a hummingbird.
18. A dainty and delicate jasmine tattoo
We can’t get enough of delicate, dainty tattoos! Whether you’re getting a tattoo for the first time or you’re tired of sitting on the tattoo sofa for hours and hours on end, you might want to opt for something soft and simple. An outline of a jasmine flower or a fine-line jasmine tattoo for the win!
19. A blue jasmine tattoo
Jasmine tattoos are much more than meets the eye, aren’t they? Blue jasmine flowers, for example, are symbols of honesty and trust which makes them appropriate for friendship tattoos, matching tattoos with your family members, or even tattoos you devote to your partner.
20. A freehand jasmine tattoo
Freehand tattoos differ from “regular” tattoos and that’s why they’re worth your while. Freehand tattoos are drawn directly on your body (rather than sketched out with a stencil) and tattooed afterward.
What’s great about freehand tattoos seems to be the fact that they’re much more suitable for curvy or angled areas.
21. A jasmine tattoo on the side of the stomach
Stomach tattoos are great, but you might want to experiment with a floral tattoo on the side of your stomach. A side-of-the-stomach tattoo can disguise your scars and stretch marks, as well as flatter your body shape depending on the style of the tattoo you opt for.
22. A pink jasmine tattoo
We’re ending the article with a pink jasmine tattoo perfect for your inner Barbie. Whether you want to commemorate your favorite feminist film or simply play with the meaning of the tattoo, you might want to go for a pink jasmine tattoo. After all, a pink jasmine flower represents love and beauty.
