Flower

UMBRELLA MOTIF for floral subjects, inherited as a bare 'flower' label from the repo's ornamental style data. The trade uses both 'floral' and 'botanical' as working subject vocabulary: a fetched artist feature describes a tattooist "specializing in fine line black and grey floral tattoos" whose "signature lies in the botanical subjects she chooses". CARRIES NO can_symbolize EDGE, AND THAT IS EVIDENCED, NOT AN OMISSION: the same artist says "I think floral tattoos are timeless. They don’t necessarily need to have a deep meaning". A working artist stating that a motif family need not mean anything is worth more here than a meaning assembled from recollection.

  • Flowers and plants in Japanese tradition (opens in a new tab)

    Tier 2

    Tattoo Life Crew, Tattoo Life

    Tattoo magazine feature. Verbatim: "In Japanese folk traditions, the flower has a place of honour: Sakura: cherry, Hasu: lotus, Kiku: chrysanthemum, Ume: plum blossom, Tsubaki: camellia, Botan: peony, Fuji: wisteria". Cited ONLY to establish that floral meaning is culture-specific rather than universal; the Japanese material itself belongs to T11.10, not to a theme node.

    NOT A WEB SOURCE - read in-repo on 2026-08-28, not fetched. The file names 19 style labels including realism-black-gray, realism-full-color, horror-realism, nightmare-realism and photorealistic as sibling entries. It establishes only that these labels exist in this codebase, not that they name distinct styles. Cited by the split-derived theme, mood and palette nodes created to decompose the fused labels per IMPLEMENTATION_NOTE section 5.
