I am starting to absolutely adore side tattoos. The more I see them, the more I think the side of the torso is my favorite place for a tattoo. Apart from being an unusual and unique location for a tattoo for women, their discreteness shows a certain strength of character. Kind of like “I don’t need to blast my egotism out loud and at you. I can keep mine in check.”

This cherry blossom tattoo is especially gorgeous. It has a beautiful naturalness – and elegance, and an air of the east about it. The eastern cultures revere cherry blossoms though they haft often subscribed different meanings to the flower.  In China the cherry blossom symbolizes feminine beauty while in Japan the cherry blossoms take on a grander scare and are symbols of the  transient nature of life, due to their short blooming cycle. That’s  big stuff, people. 

Once again I believe that side tattoos look great when they are vertical. This cherry blossom tattoo vine is growing up the side and elongates the body.

Remember, tattoo regret is pretty common, so take your time when choosing your tattoos. That’s why joining an online Tattoo Design gallery is a great idea. They allow you to browse from home at your leisure, so – there’s no rushing when it comes to choosing your tattoo. No rushing = so less chance of regretting your decision. And 25% of people regret their tattoos. That’s a lot people!
