Flowers are one of the most beautiful creations of nature; it is not surprising that many decorate with them not only their gardens and homes, but also their own bodies. Each flower carries a certain symbolism, and the delicate forget-me-nots, the tattoos with which we will look at today, are no exception.

Legends of the Little Blue Flower

Everyone probably knows that forget-me-not is associated with eternal memory. But how did the flower acquire such meaning?

In the Middle Ages, it was given a deep religious meaning. The forget-me-not served as a reminder of the inviolability of faith and evoked thoughts of God. Wooden tablets have been found depicting the divine eye enclosed in a wreath of forget-me-nots, with the inscription reading: “Remember me.”

At the beginning of the 15th century, Henry Lancaster chose the forget-me-not as his emblem; being in exile, he asked not to forget him. Just as the rose became the symbol of York and the violet an attribute of Napoleon, the forget-me-not became the heraldic flower of the House of Lancaster.

There is another version, according to which the forget-me-not became a symbol of memory and fidelity. One of the representatives of the Plantagenet dynasty exchanged these flowers with his beloved as a sign of eternal love. Another source tells that Lord Skeles, in honor of his victory at the tournament, was presented with a gold chain decorated with forget-me-nots, which symbolized his unforgettable exploits and courage.

It was believed that the juice of this flower has a special property - to harden steel. The red-hot blade was dipped into the juice until it cooled, and it became so strong that it was able to cut iron with ease. According to legend, this method was used to harden Toledo and Damascus steel.

In Germany they believed that with the help of forget-me-nots you can find your true love. Having accidentally seen a flower on the road, they picked it and kept it with them until they saw the first person of the opposite sex walking towards them. What was the name of this person, this is the name the future husband or wife will bear.

Forget-me-not symbolism in tattoo art

The meaning of the forget-me-not tattoo is quite intuitive:

• Memory. Tattoos depicting this flower are often made in memory of some significant event or person who played an important role in the life of the tattoo owner. A forget-me-not can serve not only as a reminder of something, but also as a symbol of how important it is to remember the past, because whoever has not learned a lesson from the mistakes of the past will not be able to build a bright future.
• Love. In many legends and folk beliefs this flower is a symbol of true mutual love. Lovers exchange forget-me-nots if they are facing a long separation, and give them to each other to express their sincere feelings.
• Loyalty. True love is always strengthened by fidelity, because if a person experiences such a strong feeling, no one else is dear to him except the object of his love. The owner of such a tattoo is faithful, no matter what, all those temptations that destroy relationships simply do not exist for him.

The forget-me-not is an unambiguous and positive symbol that carries the values ​​on which harmonious relationships are built, and its bright yellow center is associated with sunlight and warmth.

Forget-me-not tattoo ideas

Tattoos with forget-me-nots, as with flowers in general, are more often chosen by girls. A small elegant work with one or several flowers will look harmonious on almost any part of the body: on the neck, wrist, ankle, behind the ear. Larger compositions, complemented by various decorative elements(leaves, ornaments, ribbons, inscriptions) look great on the forearm, shoulder, ribs, shoulder blade or thigh.

When it comes to choosing a style, one of the most winning options will be realism. Realistic flowers look truly amazing if a talented craftsman gets to work. This style is quite difficult to perform, so carefully study the master’s portfolio before signing up for a session.
