Heart Flower - Tatto5

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.”
