Dandelion tattoo meaning:

The dandelion is different from other flowers: it is considered normal and plain compared to more showy flowers like roses. What it lacks in color and beauty, it makes up for in its unique geometry. Its distinctive look is what makes it irresistible, and since most of us have blown on a dandelion at some point, we know how amazing and magical it is to see dandelion seeds fly through the air.

The word ‘dandelion’ comes from French, referring to the leaves that look like teeth. The Latin name for dandelion is Taraxacum officinale, which means ‘the remedy for disorders’. Early settlers brought the plant to America from Europe for consumption and medicinal purposes, as dandelions grow virtually anywhere and are full of vitamins that are hard to find during the winter.

In a sense, the dandelion can be a symbol of life. It can also be associated with hope and dreams coming true, as when children blow on dandelion fluff, they close their eyes and make a wish. Some of us are lucky and see our dreams come true. In such cases, the dandelion tattoo can be used to symbolize how dreams have come true.
