Zinnia flowers mean “thoughts of friends” or “thoughts of absent friends.” One of my best friends was taken from me on April 17, 2009 which is why my zinnia has 4 leaves (April) and 17 petals (the 17th). 

Also, if you look closely, the deathly hallows symbol is hidden in one of the leaves, as a tribute to my inner nerd/childhood :) 

It was done by Jen Trock at Speakeasy Custom Tattoo in Wicker Park, Chicago and I am absolutely in love with it!
