What does a rose tattoo mean?
Roses stand for love, beauty and balance, with the thorns as a reminder that the two come together with pain. Roses are also common in memorial tattoos and paired with names or dates.
Where to place a rose tattoo
A single long-stemmed rose runs well along the forearm, the spine or the side of the ribs. Round, open blooms suit the shoulder, the hand and the back of the calf.
