There are many things you should know before you get a tattoo.

Flower tattoos are naturally fairly popular.

Most common is the rose, which has been adapted into countless tattoo designs over the years.

However, lilies are on the rise and being tattooed more.

Moreover, the Ancient Greeks believed that the first lily flowers were born from Hera’s milk.

Because of this, they also represent mothers and motherhood (viaPacho Tattoo).

These tattoo meanings make perfect sense with the symbolism of the lily flower itself.

While lilies of different colors carry different symbolic meanings, they generally represent purity and fertility.

Lilies' colors get more specific, too (viaBloom & Wild).
