Plants in medieval tattooing - Black & White edition: Symbolism and representation of plants in the Middle Ages

by Kévin TEMBOURET

Black & White edition

Hear ye, hear ye, tattooists and tattooed Illustrators and enthusiasts Discover medieval plants through their symbolism and associated beliefs.
The Middle Ages were full of astonishing meanings, magical rituals and remedies of all kinds. From plants used by witches, such as mandrake and datura, to majestic and divine trees, such as oak and walnut, every element of nature has a meaning. Even for the proud red poppy, its beauty tarnished and stained black by the hands of the devil. Many plants also find their place in the world of knighthood and courtesy, through little stories that explain why they are offered. Such is the case with forget-me-nots, whose harvesting gave life to a knight with a heart of love.
We'll see that each plant has its own virtues and qualities, which can easily be exploited in a medieval-looking tattoo. Whether to seek inner strength, to imbue yourself with a plant talisman or to mark a profession. In all, over 150 plants, trees and shrubs from the medieval landscape are at your disposal to create an exceptional tattoo.
Which is your lucky plant? The one that best suits your personality? Or the one that gives you the strength to move forward? There's only one way to find out: turn the pages one by one, and discover the answers to your questions.
