 Daisy Tattoo Meanings
- 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.
|
|
By the late fifteenth century the daisy was a symbol of the
innocence of the Christ Child. The daisy, less exotic and
pretentious than the
lily, was thought by some to be a more fitting symbol for the
baby Jesus.
Since that time, daisies have been associated with children and the
innocence of childhood. For young women, a bouquet of daisies
denoted a particularly innocent, pure and chaste expression of love. |
 During the 60's, the daisy was nearly as popular a symbol of the
peace movement as the peace sign itself.
