The Peony is both extremely popular and very feminine. When choosing a tattoo, you want it to be something meaningful and timeless, and that’s exactly what the Peony design offers. Not only is the Peony prettier than the classic rose (yes, I said it), but it has also gained a lot of popularity over the years, especially among those that like roses but don’t want to go with the norm.
But before you go and get your own Peony tattoo, let us help guide you in choosing the perfect piece of ink. Below we’ll show you the coolest, most-unique, and best-looking Peony tattoo ideas for 2024. You’ll surely be inspired with the perfect idea of which tattoo style to get, as well as where to get tattooed on your body.
Dainty Mandala and Peony Outer Forearm Tattoo
Welcome to another list of tattoos to inspire you; on the menu today are Peony tattoos and we have some impressive ones for you.
First up, this wonderful mandala and Peony tattoo. If you’re unfamiliar with the style, fineline tattoos are exactly what their name says they are, dainty with subtle shades of black and gray shading to give them depth. This one, in particular, is quite light which means that it will probably fade significantly over time. Either way, this is a lovely design and looks gorgeous on the client.
Gorgeous Neo-Traditional Peony Tattoo Over Triceps
Okay, so this isn’t exactly a Neo-Traditional tattoo entirely, but there are a lot of similarities. The color scheme gives off a very autumn vibe. What sets this apart from your usual Neo-Traditional tattoo is the fact that there are no bold outlines; but the line weight variation is the reason this piece can be considered a Neo-Traditional piece. Absolutely Gorgeous
Fineline Ornamental Peony Tattoo Over Triceps
Here we have another dainty fineline design that looks absolutely stunning over the triceps. I love the placement area, the triceps is a lovely area for anyone wanting something that can be easily hidden but shown off when you want to. This is a truly gorgeous, feminine design.
Lovely Fineline Peony Outer Forearm Tattoo
As much as I like this design, it for some reason looks somewhat unfinished. This might be because there isn’t much shading or that it’s still a work in progress. Either way, it’s still a lovely piece, and if it’s not done I can’t wait to see what it’s going to look like once it’s finished.
Stunning Feminine Fineline Peony Tattoo on Outer Forearm
The way the artist did this tattoo is awesome. Leaving the Peony with minimal shading means your eyes are immediately drawn to the flower because it’s the only area of the piece that’s mostly naked. I like the subtle shading in the leaves; it’s quite realistic and adds depth to a design that could have appeared flat if not for the tones of black and gray.
Gorgeous Dainty Peony and Butterfly Thigh Tattoo
Dainty is the way to go when getting a floral design; the subtle linework and smooth shading give this Peony design a realistic feel and contrast beautifully with the darker tones of black and gray ink. Another worthy mention is the placement. The thigh is very sexy, especially because it’s an intimate area but when wearing a dress or shorts you catch a glimpse of the tattoo, definitely a conversation starter, in my opinion.
Amazing Blackwork Peony Tattoo on Neck
Neck tattoos are a bold statement, and what better way to be bold, than to get a giant Peony on your neck? I adore how clean the linework is, something you definitely want if the tattoo is on your neck. The other thing I like is the fact that this piece fits so well into the existing design. It links like a puzzle piece which is perfect if you’re aiming to get your entire neck tattooed as you don’t want to have to fill random gaps in the future.
Colorful Neo-Traditional Peony Hand Tattoo
The colors in this Neo-Traditional peony tattoo are absolutely incredible; I cannot get over how bright they are. What makes this piece a true Neo-Traditional design are the bold outlines accompanied by thinner lines that act as the detail in the leaves and Peony. The white highlights give this piece the pop it needs, so credit to the artist for that. Finally, the placement of this tattoo is extremely badass and also quite the commitment, so make sure you’re ready for a hand tattoo before diving head-first into it.
Lovely Black and Gray Peony Tattoo On Woman’s Arm
The dotwork in this Peony tattoo is so neat and consistent, I like how the artist uses this shading technique throughout the entire design. Dotwork is a soft form of shading so it always gives off a feminine vibe. Placing this design on the arm is also a great decision because there’s a nice amount of space to work with, not to mention the fact that it looks really cool because it creates the illusion of a half-sleeve. Kudos to the artist for this lovely tattoo.
Black and Gray Peony Tattoo On Arm
Black and Gray is such a vast style, you can tattoo almost anything and it will look good. Unless you go to a bad tattoo artist, of course. The way this piece has been positioned works well with the shape of the arm, which is important because poorly placed tattoos can pose a problem for the future placement of new tattoos. I love the subtle shading and clean linework; it’s very much in the same ballpark as the fineline style.
