1. Fine line sunflower tattoo

First on the list is a fine line sunflower tattoo. It has delicate triangles with a sunflower in them.

2. Inner arm sunflower

This realistic sunflower tattoo is feminine and cool on the upper inner arm.

3. Sunflower wreath

This tattoo design is a ring of sunflowers. It’d make a nice small tattoo for anyone looking for something subtle.

4. Small sunflower tattoo design

A simple sunflower on the inner wrist would a nice choice for someone looking for something small.

5. Sunflower with pink highlights

Here’s an example of a sunflower tattoo design with color. The sunflower has pretty pink highlights to the classic yellow color.

6. Small wrist sunflower

This tattoo is another delicate design. There is a simple circle with sunflowers poking out. I think this design could look nice on the outer wrist as featured here or on the inner wrist.

7. Geometric sunflower

This tattoo design is a cool take on a traditional sunflower. The sunflower has a geometric aesthetic to add uniqueness to the design.

8. Sunflowers in a row

Here are sunflowers in a row. Using a number of sunflowers could be a subtle way to honor a number, like four flowers for a family of four.

9. Inner arm sunflowers

I love these pretty sunflowers on the inner arm. They’re feminine but bold in size and location.

10. Sunflower design

I think this cool sunflower design would make a very cool tattoo. I like the circle border and how the sunflower also has a sun aesthetic.

11. Celestial sunflower

This sunflower tattoo design is a play on day and night. Half the sunflower is illuminated like in the sun and half is dark like night, with stars around it.

12. Sun and sunflower design

I loved the idea of a sun and a sunflower merged together as a tattoo design. Here is an image of this idea as inspiration.

13. Delicate sunflower tattoo

This delicate sunflower tattoo uses the stem of the sunflower to make a circle. It’s understated aesthetic would allow it to easily be located anywhere on the body.

14. Sunflower with color highlights

I like how this sunflower is realistic but then has subtle highlights of rainbow color in it for an extra pop.

15. Realistic sunflower design

Here’s another realistic sunflower design that stays more true to sunflower’s natural colors. It also uses color without black outlines to give a more painted aesthetic.

16. Geometric tattoo design

This design would make a very hip tattoo. It blends a sunflower with a cool triangular pattern in the disc floret.

17. Classic sunflower design

Here’s another example of a classic sunflower design. The shades of green in the bottom half give the impression of top half being illuminated by the sun.

18. Sunflower with artistic flare

If you’re looking for something more abstract, here’s a more artistic interpretation of a sunflower. The sunflower is in the center with swirls added to the leaves to add more depth and interest.

19. Ankle tattoo

Here’s an example of a classic sunflower tattoo positioned on the ankle.

20. Triangle and sunflower design

I really like this design and think it’d make for a very stylish tattoo. The sunflower is in front of simple geometric shapes and lines.

21. Sunflowers on the back of calves

For those looking for something bigger, sunflower stalks up the back of the calves would make for a very cool tattoo. I’d like these a little shorter but thought this image gives the idea well.

22. Sunflower with colorful aesthetic

This sunflower has a bright and colorful aesthetic. I love the creative interpretation of colors in a flower that’s so traditionally seen as one color.

23. Fine line sunflower tattoo on the wrist

This is my favorite fine line tattoo for the wrist on the list. I like how the line fits naturally with the line of the wrist. It’s a simple but unique sunflower since it is only half a blossom.

24. Pixelated sunflower

Here’s a unique sunflower tattoo design — a pixelated sunflower. The sunflower is made of small squares of color.

25. Abstract sunflower

The tattoo design below is another artistic take on a sunflower. This version is more abstract than the last one, with the petals morphing into a swirling vortex.

26. Sunflower and buds

This realistic sunflower tattoo features a sunflower on a stalk with two buds. It also has some subtle color swatches to give it a painted aesthetic.

27. Pretty sunflower in pastels

Finally, here is a sunflower tattoo with hints of pink. It uses a mauve color for outlining instead of a darker black.
