Flower Tattoo Designs: How to Make a Unique Rose Tattoo   

Flower tattoo designs are a common choice among female tattoo wearers. There are so many flowers to choose from, and many represent delicate, feminine beauty. Even if you have never been called ‘delicate’ or ‘feminine’ before you can feel a little prettier with a brilliant flower on your body. This has also lead to the overuse of some types of flower tattoo designs. I am primarily referring to the rose. 

A Rose of a Different Color 

One way to come up with flower tattoo designs that use the rose but still stand out as unique is to get creative with petal colors. Red is the most common hue for rose tattoos. A red rose is known to represent love, and to some people, it is viewed as sexy. However, you can get a similar effect using other colors. A darker personality might go with a black rose. You can also use your favorite colors to make it more personal, even if you do not find that same color occurring naturally in nature. 

The stem or vines are often green; however you can change the color if you like. A black rose could have a gray stem or feature a stylized drawn look. If you want to do a red rose, but add a little hardcore edge to it, consider an entirely red shape. The stem and thorns could be drawn in red to appear etched in the skin, outlined in blood! 

How to get the Most out of Rose Vines 

Position is also important when choosing flower tattoo designs. This can also add a hint of unique style to your typical rose look. Instead of a thorny stem, use vines to dance and wind along your body’s natural shape. Your rose tattoo could twist in a loop around your belly button, or spiral up your arm or over your ankle. 

Rose vines could also be used to fill out flower tattoo designs. Lush, curled branches and lengths could extend to either side, curling in symmetrical shapes. If you prefer lower back tattoos, the rose vines could be used to create a narrow triangle shape that will better suit your body. 

Other Elements for a Unique Rose 

You can always add other objects, figures or symbols to flower tattoo designs to make them more unique. A rose vine could curl around a heart or star shape. Perhaps you want to work in other types of flowers, or a cross to symbolize your devotion to your religion. Some people prefer rose adorned swords and daggers to represent a number of things. It could be a painful lost love, or affection for fantasy. Either way, finished flower tattoo designs should say something about you. 

You can still use a rose in your body art and be original. Be creative and come up with new ways to revisit this old favorite. Whether there is meaning behind your flower tattoo designs, or if it is purely about appearance does not matter. It is all up to you and what you want displayed on your body.
