Incorporating roses with other kinds of flora for a striking statement makes for the perfect look.
Purple Rose
Purple rose tattoos are an excellent way to remember a loved one who has passed. Crafted in the New School style with bold outlines and muted colors, these intricate inks will always remain close and sentimental. This forearm tattoo features a linework-style rose with its stems and leaves. The artist chose subdued pastel colors, which go perfectly with its placement.
Black Rose
Black rose tattoos often carry more profound, sad meanings than their red counterparts, often symbolizing unrequited love or other painful situations. They’re usually placed around the neck or behind an ear and seen often. This beautiful floral tattoo features delicate lines and shading on the forearm. It combines the New School style, which involves bold outlines, with the Watercolor style, which applies pastel hues in thin lines.
Pink Rose
An arm rose tattoo gives designers ample room for creativity; from full sleeves to just one flower, a realistic rose blossoms from shoulder bicep to elbow, showing its beauty with expert shading techniques that use light and shadow. This tattoo combines linework and New School styles for an expressive sketched effect, providing a bold choice that adds character and style to this woman’s back spine.
Yellow Rose
Yellow rose tattoos are an excellent way to incorporate multiple images or tell a story with their design, adding other types of flowers (such as butterflies) to add color to this striking floral tattoo design. An iconic symbol, the sword entwined with roses, is another iconic image and can mean much. This combination usually stands for romance as well as strength and resilience.
White Rose
An arm rose tattoo can make a striking statement while remaining subtle; placing it here allows it to create a peekaboo effect so people see it only occasionally rather than all at once. Black Linework tattoos effectively add boldness and movement to any rose tattoo design without overwhelming it. Their intricate squiggles add texture, making this piece feel alive with activity.
Orange Rose

Shoulder tattoos are becoming an increasingly popular choice due to being relatively less painful than in other areas.
Green Rose
This tattoo draws inspiration from Old School style with its thick lines and simple colors, yet incorporates modern pinks, reds, and greens to evoke beauty, grace, and femininity on the shoulder. Roses decorate this woman’s collarbone. Inked in various shades of black ink with light shading, these beautiful blooms stand out against her black clothing and create an eye-catching display. While this design would look beautiful alone, it could also be combined with other floral-themed tattoos for an eye-catching floral sleeve tattoo design.
Blue Rose
Rose tattoos can make a stunning statement on men. When applied to the forearm, this design creates an eye-catching peekaboo effect from the bicep to the inner elbow. Add custom designs to your rose tattoo for personalization, like this compass rose and additional leaves design that make this tattoo truly realistic-looking. Delicate linework and shading also help achieve this impressive effect.
Yellow Rose
Yellow roses symbolize friendship and happiness, making them a beautiful addition to any tattoo and an opportunity to commemorate a friend or celebrate an event in someone’s life. A simple black-outlined rose is ideal for those seeking to avoid blotching and bleeding. Its subtle form allows it to peek out from behind rib cages or wrists without drawing unnecessary attention to itself. Rose and anchor can be an exquisite symbol of hope, showing someone your commitment.
