About Rose Tattoos
How do you even start to write a resume for a rose? Roses are easily believed to be the world’s most beautiful flowers! That’s enough of a reason to choose them as a bodily adornment! The rose is generally a symbol of love, but each color has a more specific meaning: a white rose symbolizes reverence and humility, a pink rose symbolizes elegance and gentleness, and a blue rose symbolizes mystery and the quest for something unattainable.
There’s almost no end to the cultural impact of the rose! In Roman mythology, white roses grew where Venus’ tears fell as she mourned Adonis; red roses grew when she pricked her foot on a thorn. Cleopatra reportedly blanketed her floors with half a meter of rose petals.
Roses can be placed ANYWHERE! They are delightful in any size or color! Try teeny-tiny roses on hands and lower arms. Larger roses can embellish the shoulder blade. Single and double rose tattoos are versatile, but long-stemmed roses can be used too! Stemmed roses can curve around hips and sides; they can also be used on arms and legs. A long-stemmed rose can entwine on an upper arm, mingling with an armband.
Roses are sexy enough for intimate areas! The lower back is a sensual spot for an open rose, and they can grace sides, hips, and buttocks. A small rose tattoo can be enticing on a stomach or inner thigh! A name rose is still the quintessential display of undying love!
The rose you choose may be realistic or stylized. You could use a single rose or double rose tattoo. Your rose can be depicted in the Japanese style, as a tribal rose tattoo, a Dard Hunter rose style, or a star rose, and you can use any color you like: black, blue, yellow, orange, and green are examples. Single blooms come to mind easily, but don’t overlook possibilities of rose vines!
Rose tattoos can involve dragons, butterflies, devils, skulls, crosses, stars, lettering or quotes. Rose tattoos—like their natural counterparts—combine effortlessly with an endless variety of themes!
