Traditional Floral/Cross Tattoo Design - 05/02/2026 23:09 EST

We are requesting a simple, meaningful tattoo design to be shared by a grandmother, mother, and daughter. Due to the grandmother’s terminal cancer, the design holds deep personal significance. We envision a black-and-white piece where the implied shape of a cross is formed softly through minimal floral elements, without hard lines or heavy detail. The carnation should be the most prominent and central flower, as it represents our grandmother and is the core of the design’s meaning. Subtle references to plumeria (for the mother) and tulips or lilies (for the daughter) can be included, but kept understated so the overall look remains clean and not overly floral. The goal is a timeless, minimalist design that conveys faith, connection, and legacy with quiet strength rather than ornamentation. Traditional style—no color. Your artwork will serve as the stencil for my artist, so it needs to be crisp, balanced, and sized for a lower arm placement (roughly 2-3 in x 1-2 in, portrait orientation).

Please deliver:
• High-resolution JPG or PNG (300 dpi)
• Layered PSD or vector file so my artist can adjust scale and colours if needed
• A simple guide showing the solid fills you recommend for each section

I’ll give prompt feedback on sketches and colour drafts so we can lock in the final design quickly. Looking forward to seeing your take on the design.

Example attached.
