I looked around for flower tattoo meanings and found references to "flower meanings" and "flower symbolism" but nothing much particular to tattoos. There's no particular reason that the meaning of the live flower has to be the same as the meaning of the tattoo.

Lots of the meanings I found were lame-o, anyhow, going back to victorian times.

So, here are....
