Hey everyone, Id really like peoples thoughts on realistic rose tattoos ie not tribal or cartoon ones.
I had a good old google but pictures are never as good (or bad) as the real live thing sometimes, I was wondering if anyone has had a realistic rose done thats gone really bad or looks really good and alive so to speak.
I really love the idea of having a rose done with dew on it so it looks almost wet, to me a rose is something that starts so simple and small but as it blooms and becomes an ‘adult’ flower it opens up to the world and become even more beautiful.
Thanks Ivy x
I’ve looked at so many roses I’ve lost the will to live! I have 1, purple and black on my shoulder, it is a cover up, and I’m trying to expand it into a bunch of roses, or a vine/creeper across my back with several colours involved. And, I have a heart and vine on my right boob that I want to bring up over my shoulder to meet it. Oh I wish I could draw! I’m going to sit down and let the artist I go to draw it on me and see what it’s like. He is brilliant. But I wish I could take photos of thoughts.
I’d be getting mine as a cover up too, did it cover the original tat well?X
Yes, totally. The problem is it’s there on it’s own and a bit lifeless. I wish I could convey to all the young posters how using a very large part of your body for something small can sometimes cause anguish later on. And also, young people and first timers, look at the amount of us that are talking cover-ups. I covered something done more than 30 years ago when, particularly here in Ireland, there wasn’t a lot of choice. And being a woman was an absolute anomaly in the studio. These days there’s so much more you can do to make sure you have the right image and artist. Even if there’s no way around the thoughts and deeds of youth.
