Leaf tattoos are a great choice for nature lovers and people who appreciate the beauty of leaves. The most common leaf tattoo designs are done in green ink, but you can also have a black or brown ink leaf tattoo. These tattoos can be done in any size, but they tend to be small due to the delicate nature of leaves.
Some people choose leaf tattoos as an homage to their favorite season or time of year. Others get them in honor of the life-cycle of plants and trees, or because they want to show their appreciation for the natural world.
