25 Sunflower Tattoos to Brighten Your Day

Sunflower Tattoos. I think flowers are one of the most beautiful things the universe has created. They make people happy, fall in love, and friendly. One of my favorite flowers are the sunflowers. They are not just called sunflowers because they look like the golden sun shining brightly, it’s also because the sunflower moves and faces the sun to get maximum shower of sun rays. In Greek mythology, the sunflower is a symbol of the water nymph, Clytie who fell in love with the sun god and turned into this radiant flower after grieving the loss of her love, Apollo.

There could be many reasons why some people get a sunflower tattoo, and if you want to know why…

Here are 25 Sunflower Tattoos to Brighten Your Day:

1. Nicely done sunflower tattoos

The placement is sexy too.

2. Feminine sunflower tattoo design

The placement of the 3 sunflower tattoos is just perfect with the design.

3. Realistic sunflower back piece tattoo

This is absolutely stunning and realistic. But if it were mine, I’d put it in a different place.

4. Black shaded sunflower tattoo

Some people prefer tattoos in black and grey only, despite the lack of bright yellow color of the sunflower, this tattoo still looks charming to me.

5. Black and grey sunflowers

I don’t think these flowers/tattoos will brighten my day. I think it looks dull, but that’s just my opinion. Others might see it as very nice.

6. Very bright sunflower tattoo

The bright colors of this sunflower tattoo are so attractive, I think it is the first thing that people will notice about her. LOL

I’m not so sure about the purple color.

I like the thick outline.

13. Ankle sunflower tattoo

I love this small piece of sunflower tattoo on the ankle. It’s simple and very cute.

14. Sunflower/mandala tattoo

The owner of this tattoo wanted a mix of both the sunflower and mandala designs. She gets a meaningful and at the same time, cool tattoo as a result.

15. Pretty dramatic sunflower tattoo

Aside from the good photograph of this tattoo, the placement and dramatic effect of this sunflower tattoo captured me.

16. Sunflower with purple shade

I noticed that most sunflower tattoos have a purple shade with it. I think both the yellow and purple colors complement each other.

17. Sunflower shoulder blade tattoo

I love the placement and the design of this tattoo. Look at the stems on her arms and the bright sunflower on her shoulders, it’s a tattoo I want to show off wearing strapless dresses and tops.

18. Hippie sunflower tattoo

The yellow color of the sunflower is a symbol of happiness, which is a perfect tattoo for every hippie. Even in black and white photos, the tattoo still looks amazing.

19. 3 tiny sunflower tattoos on wrist

It’s so cute despite the lack of color.

20. Simple sunflower tattoo

Plain and simple, and I like the green ink.

21. Black and grey sunflower tattoo with vines

I prefer it colorful on such a light skin tone. But then again, everyone is different.

22. Bent down sunflower tattoo

Unlike other sunflower tattoos that are facing upwards, this one is bent down, not facing the sun.

23. Beautiful realistic sunflower tattoo

I love this tattoo, it looks fantastic and the colors blend well on the skin.

24. Sunflower thigh tattoo

Here’s another example of a nicely done black and grey sunflower tattoo despite the lack of bright colors.

25. Sunflower and leaves

I don’t like the shape of the petals vert much, but the colors of the tattoo can surely brighten one’s day when you get a glimpse of it.

Big or small, colored or not, you can almost never go wrong with a sunflower tattoo. It is surely a tattoo that will brighten your day when you get a look at it. The yellow is such a happy color and the flower itself is magnificent and meaningful. It looks perfect wherever you put it, but just be careful what tattoo design you will mix it with. Sometimes it looks better alone, and if you decide to mix it with other tattoos, make sure their colors will compliment each other well.
