Tattoos Prove The Appeal Of Flowers
By Wesley Berry
It seems these days that tattoos are all the rage. Though tattoos have been around for a long time, they were once considered an "alternative" body decoration and you weren't likely to find one on the person sitting next to you in church on Sunday unless he was an ex-military man. And, tattoos on a woman were almost unheard of. That's no longer true. Today, both men and women sport tattoos. Not surprisingly, one of the most popular tattoos, especially among women, is the flower. The numerous flower tattoos out there just go to show you how much the world loves flowers!
In a recent study conducted by Rutgers University, flowers were proven to make those who received them happier. And, they've also been proven to boost the morale of those who come in contact with them, even if they didn't receive the flowers as a gift.
Flowers are also the perfect gift for almost everyone. A gift of flowers can be customized to the particular likes and dislikes of the recipient. You can choose flowers in their favorite colors and scents, or choose flowers with a particular meaning. Flowers meanings are generally passed down historically and they can be everything from love to refusal. And, the meaning for a particular flower can vary depending on its color. Here are the meanings of some popular flowers:
