Polynesian style hibiscus flower tattoo design

The hibiscus flower is one of the most popular flower designs used in Polynesian tattoos, and this is because the hibiscus is the state flower of Hawaii, an island known for its beauty. The Polynesian-style flower tattoo in this photo features a very simple hibiscus in the center of the design, surrounded by a curvy, swirly tribal pattern inked in a bold black and white. Like most other flowers, the hibiscus flower actually has a very special meaning, which also makes it a popular flower to be included in tattoo designs. The meaning of a hibiscus tattoo depends largely on the color of the flower, and can symbolize purity, love, friendship, fertility, beauty or enlightenment.
