Decoding the Rose Design

From this stunning bouquet of options, each rose tattoo is expertly designed to stun anyone with their intricacy of detail and the vividness of color. How do you choose?

First we need to decode the rose: what it could mean to you and what it can say about you.

A rose design can effectively stand alone (see Rose Vine Tattoo and Red Rose Tattoo Design on the shoulder) or it can add an interesting and unexpected drama when combined with another element (see Microphone and Roses Tattoo).

If you’re going to include other elements, these are the most popular and effective ones:

This last point is interesting. Because of its thorns, the rose is seen as the perfect combination of beauty and destruction. Life will often seem this way, which is what makes the theme so popular among many people from every age and background.

A rose can even change meaning depending on its color. We’ve presented the best ones we’ve found on the classic red or pink color, since this works the best for most people across the board.

This stands out excellently when following the style of watercolor tattoos, which many of these designs follow. Whatever you choose, the humble rose is going to help you stand out.

Picking the Right Rose Tattoo for You

Back to the original question: how do you choose?

There is a lot more to consider when picking a design. You probably already know the practical considerations:

Other than this, you can’t go wrong. Some tattoo enthusiasts have developed a sense of personal preference and style so strong that all they have to do is browse lists like this one. They don’t choose the design they ultimately go with—the design chooses them.

If that’s true for you, download any of these amazing designs as reference pictures for your tattoo artist. You can expect it to take some time to complete, and it may cost you a pretty penny. But when done right, you may never need another tattoo design again.
