FLORAL
Flowers and botanicals
Stems, petals and negative space can follow the collarbone, arm, shoulder blade or waist. A plant can also be selected for its form or meaning.
MOON · FINE LINE & FLORALS
Fine line florals, botanicals and butterfly tattoos
Fine line is not simply about making a design smaller. Spacing, negative space, subject and body proportion must remain clear. Moon builds lighter compositions from flowers, butterflies and natural forms.
STYLE GUIDE
Subjects and composition
Florals and butterflies may feel delicate, illustrative or archival. Decide the density and mood first, then refine the species and placement.
BUTTERFLY
Butterflies and natural forms
Wing angle, pattern density and symmetry affect scale. The design may be detailed, lightly outlined or paired with botanical elements.
NEGATIVE SPACE
Spacing and longevity
Skin changes over time. Deliberate spacing keeps the subject readable; overly dense elements may need to be enlarged or simplified.

SIZE
Small does not mean simple
Overlapping lines and petal count affect readability even in a small design. Always describe dimensions in centimetres.

Fine line questions
Can fine line work be extremely small?
It depends on spacing, elements, placement and readability. Dense petals or overlapping lines may need more room.
Can florals and butterflies follow the body?
Yes. A placement photo helps assess the direction of wings, stems and negative space.
Can I enquire before choosing a flower?
Yes. Describe the form, mood, density, placement and dimensions you prefer.
