The indisputable advantage of such tattoos is the uniqueness and purely individual value.... Each flower has its own specific meaning. A rose may hint at nobility and grace, but with thorns - this is inaccessibility and a willingness to stand up for oneself. Sakura is a symbol of the transience of being, lotus is the desire for spiritual growth, chrysanthemum is joy and happiness, sometimes greatness or longevity.

Feather images can be interpreted as a symbol of lightness, sexuality and femininity. But it is also a symbol of good luck, and the peacock's feather is a protective amulet from the evil eye. There are nuances of meaning in terms of color: a red feather symbolizes victory in difficult situations, and an orange or yellow one symbolizes intuition.

For example, Aquarius can be depicted as a person or mythical character pouring water or a stream of flowers, a vessel of water, or two horizontal waves. The scope of imagination in such images is not limited by anything.

An insufficiently correctly selected sign can harm its owner. However, they are in demand, especially the sign of wealth Fehu or Uruz, symbolizing the power and strength of its owner. Sometimes a whole inscription is made from runes.

The list of images is extensive: dragonfly, butterfly, ladybug, bee, ant, spider. On these topics, you can find a lot of sketches and tempting offers. There are a lot of insects, and you can choose any, for example, the May beetle, which cannot be turned off the chosen path, it flies contrary to the laws of dynamics and will look spectacular on its calf or ankle.

Ideal, especially along the foot or as a bracelet around the ankle. The main thing is to find out exactly the translation of a saying or quote and arrange it in a suitable style. For this there are Cyrillic and Latin, Slavic and Arabic script, Gothic script, calligraphy, and even hieroglyphs can be written in different styles.

Usually, the conditional division of images on the leg is used - into monochrome and color, but black tattoos are often chosen, precisely because there is little space for large images on the legs. Blackwork, dotwork, trable and polynesia are often recognized as masters in only one solution - black. However, recently there has been a tendency towards images in the style of fairy, realism, old school, cartoon, because they are more expressive and allow you to create colorful, attention-grabbing images.

In such recommendations, the priorities of the future owner, his gender and age, and life credo are of great importance. It was previously believed that feathers, hearts and flowers are purely female tattoos, but now they can be seen on the male body. At the same time, options that were previously considered exclusively the prerogative of the male sex are becoming more and more relevant for girls. This speaks of erasing the edges and avoiding unnecessary distinctions.

There is little space at the bottom of the leg: the foot is used only for a small symbol or amulet. Even a semblance of a sleeve can be stuffed on the lower leg. The knee and toes are not used, except that the girl has a small heart on her big toe. There are various explanations for this - rapid disappearance, deformation or pain, especially strong on the thin skin that fits the patella. For the rest, as in choosing a drawing, you need to rely not only on your own priorities, but also on the advice of an experienced master.
