Realistic botanical tattoos are a fairly modern concept, mostly made popular by Rit.Kit.Tattoo on Instagram.
Rita uses a very unique technique, which she lovingly calls a “live leaf” tattoo.
Firstly, she rubs the chosen flowers or leaves onto a piece of tattoo transfer paper, inking up the chosen flower.
Secondly, she then puts it onto the body, leaving a blue imprint stencil.
As a result, allowing her to have a realistic size of the flower or leaves to use as a base.
Then she will fill the stencil with the correct colours, making it look like you are simply wearing a part of Mother Nature on your body.
I find too much floral tattoo inspiration from Rita’s work!
