My tattoo was done by Chris Oppenheim from manictattoos.com he does all of my work. This tattoo was drawn by hand on me with permanent marker and then tattooed over it. There will never be another exactly like it.

Rib tattoos really are painful, but the beauty of them last a lifetime.”

Most women choose to have the cherry blossom tattoo inked on their rib cage, arm, hip, back, leg and foot embedded in the colors of pink or red. Whatever a woman choose, whether it be just flowers, petals or even a full cherry blossom tree tattoo, it would by no doubt complement and highlight that part of the body because of its very striking and appealing features.

Meaning of cherry blossom tattoo
Aside from its aesthetic value and flexibility, cherry blossom tattoo can be very meaningful and symbolical. It can represent a woman’s sexuality, her strength and character. Some refer to it as a symbol of love and happiness with its natural beauty and essence. It can also symbolize a fleeting moment in one’s life in comparison to the swift fading of cherry blossom’s petals as it only last for a few days. It can be a constant reminder that life is transitory and evanescent, it’s not permanent so live and enjoy it to the fullest.
