Rose Tattoos
Flower
tattoo designs such as the rose symbolize life, birth, procreation,
death and rebirth.
They are
the embodiment of nature and the elements. Out of all the flower tattoo
designs,
the rose tattoo is the most popular, especially with women. It is
nearly as
popular with men too, but only because it has a spiritual significance
in the west. It is considered to be a symbol of pure love and has been
revered in
both, secular and religious context. Why do you think women love to get
a dozen roses from their love? The rose is the most sought after
flower. The rose has many accepted traditional
meanings that are applied to the rose tattoos by association. It has
become the
ultimate floral symbol on account of its unmatched fragrance and
beauty. A rose
with thorns tattoo design is also very famous. According to tattoo
enthusiasts,
a rose with thorns reminds the person that beauty does not
surface in
the absence of adversity and sacrifice. The flower can be flaunted
singly, as
trailing vine or as a bouquet.
A
red rose is also a symbol of martyrdom. It is associated with Jesus
Christ and
the Virgin Mary. Several rose tattoos are worn to honor a deceased
loved one
too. If you want to sport a rose tattoo, it is important to know the
meaning
behind the specific rose colors.
- A dark red rose stands
for
unconscious beauty.
- The red rose is for love,
courage, beauty, respect and romance. A red rose bud tattoo symbolizes
loveliness and purity.
- Blue roses symbolize
impossibility.
- Coral roses indicate
desire.
- Black roses are
traditional
representatives of death.
- A white color rose tattoo
communicates innocence, purity, reverence, charm, youthfulness and
silence. White rose bud tattoos also celebrate the girl-child.
- A golden rose indicates
achievement or friendship..
Rose
tattoos have been popular in the west for decades. This type of body
art shares the most
intriguing history and symbolism. They are a traditional choice and
more
popular than the hibiscus, daisy, lily or even the orchid tattoos. The
lotus
tattoo designs are probably the only ones that can be compared to these
designs. Tattoo artists around the world have made an effort to promote
the flower
tattoo art. The rose designs are available in varied shapes and sizes
and you can
combine the flower design with a butterfly, fairy or a heart. It can
also be
combined with a Celtic armband, a dagger, a cross or even a tiger. You
can get
a rose and barbed wire tattoo done on the shoulder or chest. As you can
see there are many different meanings that surround the rose tattoo,
you just have to find the one that best fits your style, which is
another subject on its own.
Here is a bunch of rose tattoos
for you to take a look at. There are so many combinations of roses that
you could spend an entire day looking through galleries of this type of
tattoo design. People get this tattoo on their arms, legs, backs, lower
backs and almost anywhere else. They even add other features like
crosses, skulls or thorns to their designs.
 
 
 
My
favorite rose tattoo is the one with the thorns and makes a cross; it's
a black and white picture which makes the rose stand out better. I also
like the color of the forearm rose tattoos as the colors blend together
and does not over power the arm but makes the roses look nice. As you
can see there are many different types of these tattoos to choose from,
many different colors and styles so take your time!
