Steve, owner of the Heart Flower tattoo wrote, “Growing from the heart is a seeding dandelion, from which are flowing, instead of seeds, nerve cells. I’m a second year medical student, so the nerves and heart I’m quite familiar with. The dandelion serves as a great way to tie the two together, and also adds a good element of motion to the tattoo. The stem of the dandelion is, essentially, the superior vena cava, and the roots are the pulmonary arteries (going off to the lungs). The dandelion leaves are all growing out of the aortic arch.”

Steve, you are an absolute retard.
At first I thought it had excellent artwork, just a weird idea. But when he explained it, in detail, I thought it was pretty cool. He put thought into it- there is more symbolism there and meaning than most tats.
I wish the majority of people with tattoos would put this much thought into something so permanent. Thankyou, Steve, for not picking a generic tattoo off the wall at the tattoo parlor.
This is fantastic.
This is a great tattoo.
Wonderful thought process, but perhaps he should have waited until he was a fourth year+ student, as he would have clinically seen what happens when you have a detailed, large tattoo on a larger body, which happens with age...
Dude, I don't know you, but oh my God! This is the single most exceptional and fantastic (and funny) tattoo I've ever seen! Duuude!!!
that is terrific. i have been wandering for YEARS what a dandelion tattoo would look like, if an artist would make it work well on skin. i love it, im a fan.
I don't care how Steve tries to explain this one, it's still a fyckin stupid ass tat
its not even a proper human heart.
