Laid-Back Leaves
From interior design to fashion, plants are definitely having their moment, so it's no surprise that the frond trend has made its way into the tattoo world. A simple stem and wispy leaves fits perfectly on one's shoulder for a tropical addition that you won't be able to accidentally over-water.
