Are you looking for cool ideas for your next tattoo? We have exactly the same. Below are some beautiful hummingbird tattoos with floral design.
The hummingbird is one of the smallest birds in the world.
The hummingbird tattoo is very popular in the tattoo world. They are versatile, unique and rich in symbolism.
Some cultures believe that hummingbirds symbolize freedom, while in others, like the Aztec culture, the hummingbird is a symbol of rebirth. It is said that these dead warriors who lost their lives in war would be reborn as hummingbirds. One of the main reasons that make the hummingbird tattoo designs so versatile is that they can be customized into different shapes and sizes. Even a tiny design of this tattoo will be just as meaningful as the larger one. At the same time, you can also include other elements like flowers or butterflies in your design to make it look unique. Listed below are some of the best hummingbird tattoo examples that you can refer to for your next tattoo design.
Colorful Hummingbird Tattoo
Adding bright colors to your hummingbird tattoo makes it look more realistic. A similar idea was represented by this image. The tattoo artist here used a wide range of different colors like blue, pink, green, purple and orange to create this look. It looks realistic and vibrant and can be an excellent idea for those who prefer this look. However, one of the disadvantages of colorful tattoo designs is that they generally cost more than the traditional black and white ones. Second, you often need to touch up your design because light colors fade faster than black ink.
Small hummingbird tattoo
If you are one of those who prefer sensible yet uncomplicated designs, then this one can be an excellent choice for you. Instead of using any colors, the artist only used black ink to draw this design. These types of tattoos are much easier to make and can be completed in a short amount of time. They can be just as meaningful as large format colorful tattoos. The artist here incorporated the design of butterflies into this tattoo giving it a more feminine look. The two elements in this image provide beautifully contrasted meaning. The hummingbird is a representation of hope, freedom and joy. The butterfly, on the other hand, symbolizes beauty and grace. By combining these elements, the tattoo artist has made this design more meaningful and powerful.
Sunflower and Hummingbird Tattoo
Just like the hummingbird, the sunflower is a powerful symbol of hope, warmth and joy. When combined together, they are the perfect way to boost positivity and happiness. In this picture we see a similar example. The bright yellow color of the sunflower looks great in contrast to the subtle blue ink used to create the hummingbird. You can explore different bright colors with this kind of designs and choose the perfect one that you prefer. In this picture, the wearer has chosen a rather large size for the design. However, you can adjust the size according to your needs. You can also opt for a simple black sunflower and hummingbird tattoo if you just want to focus on the meaning.
Rose and hummingbird tattoo
In some cultures, the hummingbird is depicted as a lovebird. It gathers its own feathers to make love potions. Others believe that the image of two hummingbirds represents two lovers who wanted to stay together even after death. As we all know, the heart is the most popular symbol of love and passion, so what better way to emphasize the importance of deep passionate love than by combining these two elements? In this image mentioned above, the artist has beautifully drawn this beautiful design of roses on the lower part of the hummingbird’s body. To emphasize the rose’s delicate petals, the artist chose a light shade of red and used different shades of black ink to highlight the bird’s feathers.
Simple hummingbird tattoo with hibiscus
One of the reasons flower tattoo designs are so popular is the deep meaning they create. Take the example of a hibiscus tattoo design. A white hibiscus tattoo represents innocence while a red hibiscus tattoo design represents undying love and passion. In this image we see a beautiful design of the hummingbird tattoo paired with a hibiscus. Although no colored ink was used in this design, you can add any touch of color to the tattoo to make it look more vibrant.
Watercolor Hummingbird Tattoo
Tattoos are one of the most creative forms of body art. A watercolor tattoo in particular is like a replica of a painting on a canvas. Some of the main characteristics of watercolor tattoos are that they are usually made in light shades and are usually much more expensive than the traditional tattoo designs. Additionally, you may need to have the design touched up a few times as the colors tend to fade faster.
In this image we can see a beautiful design of colorful hummingbird tattoo etched on this person’s body. Although the hummingbird may have a tiny body, it is a symbol of strength, hard work, and resilience. If you’re one of those people who appreciate all of these qualities and want to reflect that through your body art as well, then this is a must-have.
Jamaican hummingbird tattoo
Did you know that the hummingbird is Jamaica’s national bird? It is also known as the doctor bird because the hummingbird’s physical features, which include its black crest and tail, resemble the attire worn by doctors of the olden days. People believe that the hummingbird possesses magical powers and is in fact sometimes referred to as the “bird of god”. In this image we see a Jamaican hummingbird tattooed on the person’s forearm next to some flowers. The artist used a subtle shade of blue to highlight the flowers. Hummingbirds suck nectar from a flower with their long, pointed beaks. This tattoo design here is a recreation of the same. It looks incredibly beautiful and can be a good choice for those who are looking for similar designs for their next tattoos.
Traditional hummingbird tattoo
Here is one of the perfect designs for a traditional hummingbird tattoo. American traditional tattoos have a very limited color palette and involve bold outlines with minimal elements. This tattoo consists of a similar design where we can see that the artist used a light shade of pink, purple and blue ink. Traditional tattoos tend to have a distinctive look and are popular with men and women alike. The deep symbolism of this tattoo, along with the interesting designs, make it a statement piece.

The tiny body of a hummingbird makes it the perfect choice for those who love small tattoos. Not only do they look cute, but they deliver the same meaning as the larger ones.

Best hummingbird tattoo

The subtle white ink combined with the bright pink and purple tones create a unique design.
