September birth flower tattoo ideas
Design ideas, placements and meanings for aster and morning glory tattoos, plus how to work in the sapphire birthstone.
Why the aster
Starry asters look lovely in clusters. A small purple aster sprig is a common September choice, often drawn with a few buds.
Meaning: love, wisdom, faith and patience. The morning glory adds affection and love that lasts a lifetime.

September tattoo design ideas
Single-stem fine line
One aster stem in single-needle black ink. Subtle, ages well, and usually fits in 2–4 inches on the wrist, ankle or inner arm.
Watercolor wash
Soft color behind the linework, using the September palette: #8E7CC3, #F2C14E. Watercolor fades faster, so ask your artist for a fine black outline to hold the shape.
Aster & morning glory bouquet
Use both September flowers. A climbing vine with trumpet blooms suits designs that wrap the arm or ankle.
Aster + sapphire accent
Add a tiny sapphire-colored gem or dot (a #1F3C88 tone) at the base of the stem to combine your flower and birthstone in one piece.
Name or date in the stem
Work a name, initials or a September birthday into the stem line. It's a popular way to honor a child or a loved one.

Best placements
- Inner forearm: suits long-stemmed designs and is easy to show or cover.
- Wrist or ankle: best for a single small bloom, about 1–2 inches.
- Ribs or spine: good for tall bouquets and stacked month flowers, but more painful.
- Behind the ear or collarbone: delicate sprigs and tiny buds.
- Shoulder blade: enough room for a full family bouquet.
Color notes
The September palette:
Pale colors like white and yellow fade fastest on skin, so many artists outline them in soft grey. For a birthstone touch, a small sapphire dot or gem shape works in any style.
