Thistle Bloom with Dotted Halo

Description

A fine-line blackwork thistle stretches along the forearm, rendered with crisp linework and subtle dotwork shading. A dotted halo encircles the upper bloom, suggesting focus, protection, or sacred energy, while a single grounding dot anchors the stem. Thistles often symbolize resilience, pride, and Scottish heritage, making this botanical piece a meaningful, minimalist tribute to strength and endurance.
