Lily tattoos

Soft strength and timeless symbolism: our lily tattoo edit

There’s something quietly powerful about the lily. Long seen as a symbol of grace, transformation and fresh beginnings, it speaks to the parts of us that value beauty laced with meaning. Our lily tattoo collection captures that perfectly – offering elegant, expressive designs that bloom softly on the skin, no commitment needed.

Why lilies still speak to us

In history and mythology, the lily has always stood for something more: purity, rebirth, inner peace. It’s a flower that’s been sketched into ancient manuscripts, carved into temples, and gifted for centuries to mark moments big and small. Whether you're marking a quiet personal transformation or simply drawn to the flower’s gentle lines, a lily tattoo lets you wear that symbolism close. Not loudly – but meaningfully.

Styles that say more 🌸

We’ve carefully curated a selection of lily artwork that feels personal, versatile and downright gorgeous. Some pieces lean into soft, feminine minimalism; others explore bolder linework. Each one is designed to complement your aesthetic and mood.

• Classic lily bloom – embodies simplicity and serenity. Often chosen for its traditional form, it suits delicate places like the ankle or inside wrist.
• Tiger lily – full of fire and confidence, this design’s spiked petals and vivid energy make it perfect for strong placements like upper arm or shoulder blade.
• Water lily – associated with spiritual clarity and stillness, it lends well to longer, flowing placements like the forearm or back of neck.
• Calla lily – elegant in the purest sense, this sculptural bloom adds sophistication to collarbones or alongside the spine.

Where they bloom best

Lily tattoos aren’t bound by convention – their shape and flow lend beautifully to almost any part of the body. Placement depends less on trend, and more on what the piece means to you. Still, a few favourite spots include:

• Back of the shoulder – quietly visible, especially in warmer weather or open-back clothing.
• Forearm – soft and eternal, allowing continuous visibility and daily connection.
• Ankle – delicate and discreet, perfect when you want subtle symbolism.
• Collarbone – poetic and romantic, especially with slender flower forms like the calla.
