A common meaning behind an iris tattoo is its connection to Greek mythology. Like many other mystical beliefs and folklore, the wonder surrounding the gods and goddesses of Ancient Greece can make for some pretty intricate and creative tattoo designs. As Fleur Noire Tattoo artist Frida Sedwick told Bustle, "Greek mythology opens a gateway to a land of magical possibilities that can be accessed by anyone of any age."
And thanks to the array of design possibilities within the art of tattooing, there are various options to choose from when figuring out how you want an iris to be depicted. This is especially true for color tattoos, as you can either go for a more traditional piece of artwork or opt for a delicate watercolor look. Delicate or fine line flower tattoo designs are also a popular choice these days (via Glamour). Still, it all depends on what you want the iris to represent.
