Daisy Tattoos - The name for the flower is derived from "Days eye", because the flower opens at sunrise and closes at sunset. Its Latin name may come from the Latin Bellis, meaning beautiful, so Bellis Perennis can be translated as perennial beauty.

In Medieval and Renaissance art, where flower symbolism was almost a language unto itself, every flower had a very specific meaning. The white daisy, one of the simplest and most abundant blossoms to be found in every meadow and glade, was a symbol of innocence. The daisy also had a powerful religious connotation because of the widespread use of the image of the Madonna and Child, The Virgin Mary and the Christ Child, Jesus.

During the 60's, the daisy was nearly as popular a symbol of the peace movement as the peace sign itself.
