What are difference in the look of a Chinese cherry blossom tattoo vs a Japanese one?

Question

I would like to get a cherry blossom tattoo, and I was looking up the meaning and apparently the Chinese meaning is different from the japanese meaning. I like the meaning of the Japanese and I was wondering if the Chinese looks different from the Japanese, in terms of tattoos?

 

Answer 1

Don't think so. I have a cherry blossom tatt. I didn't tell the girl japanese or chinese. Their paintings are different so painting wise yes the cultures have different styles and in that case mine is japanese brush stroke style.

 

Answer 2

They are pretty close to identical. The Chinese cherry blossoms actually have more of a point at the tip of the petals.. The Japanese blossoms are more rounded, and sometimes squared off. Just do a google search to see the difference. 

And honestly, unless youre a stickler for minute details, it really doesnt matter that much.. no one else you meet will know the difference. But if it matters to you, thats what counts.
