Review of the "Black Rose" tattoo

The image of a rose has long been very popular in the art of tattooing. The black rose is relevant for both women and men. Such a sketch has several meanings and can be performed by a master in many techniques to achieve the desired effect.

The symbolism of the rose as a flower is very widespread and has many different variations. The "Black Rose" tattoo can be interpreted in different ways depending on the technique of the image, the country in which it was made and the meaning that the designer of the sketch wanted to put into it.

In its broadest sense, a rose Is a symbol of beauty, youth and love... But, done with black ink, it can have a different meaning as well - sadness, sorrow, eternal memory, silence and mystery.

Stuffing sketches with a black rose is especially popular among girls, for whom it is a great way to emphasize their gothic style at the ready with femininity and vulnerability. And also such a flower can mean the mystery and mystery that its owner contains.

Often people fill themselves with a black rose in honor of separation and bitterness of tears. Roses are also the main component of a passionate relationship: at first they act as a sign of attention, and at the end they are considered a farewell gift. That is why they are often stuffed onto their bodies by vulnerable individuals who suffer from separation from loved ones.

Currently, the masters offer a wide selection of rose sketches, among which you can choose an option of any size and type to your taste. The most popular are several variants of black rose tattoos.

• Small rose. It can be part of a paired tattoo or be an independent minimalistic pattern. Often depicted in combination with geometric shapes.

• Bud with leaves. The opened large rosebud looks very feminine and beautiful. This option can symbolize love and purity of intentions. Most often, the sketch is of medium size so that the master has the opportunity to work out all the details.

• Rose with thorns. The thorns on the stem of a rose can mean either the need for protection and defense, or a warning that the wearer of such a tattoo may be aggressive and "prick". The most relevant option for those who support the Gothic style, not only in clothing, but also in lifestyle.

• With a skull... Sketch has different meanings, but most often it symbolizes loss. The drawing made with black ink looks especially mournful and informal.

• With a dagger... The black and white version has a rather warlike look and can mean resilience and readiness to attack. Often, a point that pierces a delicate bud can also symbolize the cruelty and injustice of life.

• With a cross... Can be done in black and red palette. Usually has a religious meaning tied to hope or noble sadness.

• With watch... The fleetingness of youth and the passage of time can be reflected in the form of a black rose with a clock. Most often, such a tattoo has many details and requires high-quality work of an experienced master.

• With a snake... The main symbol of temptation. In tattoos, it usually symbolizes selfish intent. The snake can be depicted both in the bud of a flower, and twine around the stem itself. The larger the snake is compared to the flower, the more bad intent.

Nowadays, there are many different styles that experienced tattoo parlors can use to depict a black rose.

The most popular are several directions.

• Blackwork... Depicted exclusively in black. The drawing itself, as a rule, has clear boundaries and dense shading. In its pure form, without the help of other techniques, it looks like a flat silhouette or print.

• Geometry... Often, a black rose is depicted in a mixed minimalist style using geometric shapes. Crisp, neat lines create a realistic effect, and geometric borders add an additional opportunity to gently outline the frame of the tattoo and make it even more unusual.

• Engraving... A style that is based on medieval imagery and has a clear, exceptional 2D effect. The sketch is often devoid of realism and additional shadows in order to achieve the correct stylization for the printed drawing.

• Graphics... Smooth smooth transitions, high fidelity in combination with high-quality shadows allows you to achieve the maximum effect. Such a drawing can be compared to one that an artist can sketch on a sheet with a pencil.

And also often roses are depicted on the body in styles such as linework, minimalism, old school and steampunk.

Most often, masters fill a black rose tattoo on the following places:

• on the hand - hands, wrist;

• on the leg - thigh, lower leg;

• on the neck;

• on the stomach - on the side, ribs, under the chest;

• on the back.

The place can be chosen together with the master, taking into account the style of the sketch and the size of the black rose tattoo itself.
