Roses are undoubtedly the most recurrent flower in tattooing; they are to western cultures what the lotus is to eastern cultures: a symbol of perfection. Roses, like every flower, have also some precise meanings, which vary though according to their colours: red roses speak of passion, yellow roses indicate jealousy, and so on. Every design on this website follows the so called "sharp" style, which means it uses black and white whith very sharp edges, but through the stencil version, it can also be used as a basis for colorful, multi-shaded designs.
