A cool tattoo sleeve and chest tattoo combination in the Japanese style.I like the use of solid gray ink given a touch of brightening by softly colored pink ‘sakura.’ The colorful Hannya mask and skull on each side of the chest works fantastically in opposition to the bright flowers.

8. Rose Tattoo Body Art

This is a stunning watercolor tattoo of a stylized interpretation of the skull and the rose. It is always interesting to encounter contrasting themes when one symbolizes beauty while the other has a dark meaning and symbolizes death. The flower can be an offering to a love one who has moved on. This is subtle way of viewing the meaning of this beautiful shoulder tattoo.

Roses are considered symbols of enduring love and beauty. For a gentleman to wear roses on his forearm mean it his symbol for balance. In this creation, red is celebrated as the chosen color for the couple of roses in this piece which could mean passionate love for his woman or the women he holds dear in his heart.

The key to this piece of body art is the hand tattoo aspect. It’s a classicly worked black and gray style piece, given a more unique cast by it’s placement on the hand. Hand tattoo is becoming more popular, however if you have some misgivings about a permanently visible piece, I can recommend the use of a temporary tattoo as a means to test out the idea before fully committing to it.

The heart superimposed with a fully blossomed singular rose in deep blushing pink with a few crimson red contour. This tattoo has a dark theme vibe surrounding this delicate flower taking into consideration the black background. This must have a personal and emotional meaning to the wearer.
