Putting several birth months in one tattoo
A family tattoo often gathers everyone’s birth flowers into one piece. Because all twelve drawings here share one style, any mix of months sits together without looking like it came from different places. The whole year is $19, or one month is $8.
Taking a design to your tattoo artist
Each month’s pack has the line art as a vector SVG, which scales to any size without blurring, and a 3000 by 3000 pixel PNG with a clear background. Most artists redraw or adjust a design into their own stencil, so bring it as the reference. Our licence covers taking the line art to a tattoo artist for your own tattoo. It does not cover an artist selling the design on to other people.
Questions
Are these ready-made tattoo stencils?
No. They are finished line drawings. Your artist turns the one you choose into a stencil fitted to where it goes on your body.
Can I get the design without buying the prints?
The line art comes in the month pack with the prints and the phone wallpaper, for $8. There is no separate line-art-only option.
Where do the month and flower pairings come from?
From Victorian floriography, which gave each month a plant and a sentiment. The pairings in the table are the ones that have stuck.
