Hydrangeas are unique designs for flower tattoos because they don’t have the typical petals around a circle center. Hydrangeas have many shamrock shaped petals that create a ball of them bunched together. Using at least three shades of blue and white ink is needed to create this flower.

There is also a very detailed side view of a butterfly perched on the top of the flower that is inked in green, blue, yellow, and black. The three large green and black leaves and stem at the bottom of the design make it look like this flower was picked from the garden.
