Click Image For More Rose tattoo designs have been the most popular flower chosen to be displayed on both women and men. They are a flower that is known, loved, appreciated and respected all over the world. Roses have been used for tattoos almost as far back as the practice of tattoo itself. It is a strong enough flower to stand alone as a solitary tattoo, yet gentle and adapting enough to be paired with other symbols, flowers, crosses, words and virtually anything else.
In the East, the lotus and the rose share the meaning of true love. It was believed by the ancient Greeks that the rose only came in white and then it turned red when Aphrodite, the goddess of love pricked her finger on a thorn and her blood flowed, staining the blossoms.
Persia was the first place to grow the rose plant and it was actually thought of as a masculine flower. Over thousands of years it became cultivated in many beautiful varieties and colors. Rose tattoos are found on an equal number of men and women. In the 1940s, a rose tattoo was the most popular tattoo by sailors to honor their girlfriend or wife that they had left behind when they went out to sea.
Rose tattoo designs commonly are a representation of inner and outer beauty. It is interesting to note that if thorns are displayed on the rose tattoo, it is to mean that the individual does not place an emphasis on outer beauty. Others believe that the rose represents everlasting beauty and if it has a thorn then it means that although you can look, you cannot touch.

The rose has always been linked to love. Without thorns it represents being in love however a rose with thorns is a caution that an interested person should proceed with caution or they might get hurt. A thorned rose offers a reminder that love always comes with certain sacrifices. It means that love comes with risks and ecstasy does not come without some agony.
