You might think about this design as your next tattoo if life has taken your loved one.

The skeleton hand can represent death and the dead flower can represent the lost love. No one can predict what life can throw at them, and it can be very depressing to see your beloved one taken from you. you can choose this design as a mourning , maybe you can add a date or a name below it so it can be more indicative of not, you can keep the meaning to yourself

Rejection

@georgedressing

you approach girls every time at the bar and you’re getting rejected ? You feel like you will never have a partner in your life ? You feel like you will never find a partner even in the afterlife ? You can choose a cartoonish image of a skeleton hand holding a dead flower as your next tattoo ( coz that’s what you are : a child ) grow up ! JK

Hopeless romantic

@cody_shaggy

You’re old school and you feel like the technique of the flower when approaching girls will never die ? (no pun intended)

You’re probably wrong old man, but if you feel stubborn enough, you can ink this tattoo on your forearm to make every girl know that you are an old soul , and you like your feet massaged after work.

FAQ

Now is it a good idea to get this tattoo ?

As for every tattoo that has the name dead in it, Probably not.

What color is best ?

I’ve seen many people use black for the hand and red for the flower, so it’s probably the best color combination for this tattoo
