Orchid Tattoos for Women

One of the most widely used flower tattoo is the orchid. Orchid is an ornamental flower that is widely used in flower arrangements and originates mostly in tropical areas with some variety of 30,000 species. Expertly named for its extravagance and exotic appearance, this flower was referred to by the Greeks as Orchis or testicle because of its erected stem.
Ancient philosophers believe that an orchid signifies firmness, strength, authority and dexterity for men. On the feminine side, the orchid is also a symbol of beauty, charm, and sophistication. In Greek mythology, Satyrion – for whom a family of orchids is named – was a nymph who gave birth to a child fathered by Poseidon. Due to its splendor and delicate scent, the orchid is often referred to as the Flower of Magnificence. In Confucian teachings, the orchid was the symbol for numerous offspring. It was also considered as a love potion and aphrodisiac in many countries like Egypt, Germany, China, and Africa.
