Rose Tattoo Pictures

Rose tats can have many different meanings, depending on their shape, their color, and their accompanying design elements. A closed bud can speak of new beginnings and endless possibilities. A rose design focusing on the thorns, on the other hand, often represents jaded love and a bitter reality. A single drop of blood on the thorn further brings this point home.

When it comes to colors, red represents passionate love, while yellow stands for friendship. Some other colors and their meanings are:

• White: Loyalthy and platonic love
• Black: Death
• Orange: Desire
• Light pink: Sympathy
• Dark pink: Appreciation
• Blue: Originality
