Roses - wrong or right way?

[lving4today]

I've read a couple threads on the subject of roses and I'm just curious, do you guys feel there's a right or wrong way to draw or tattoo them? I've seen some really in depth roses and then there's the simpler looking traditional ones with less pedal

Reason I ask is because I've got a traditional rose on my arm with stem and a girl in class asked me if it was a hibiscus (in a snooty attitude like "whys that on your arm") which I guess it's not a realistic rose, but rather representational which is how the artist put it.

I apologize if this is a dumb question or anything.

I'm a long way from an expert but I suspect the "right" answer is that the "right" way is the way you like it/wanted it. So tell her to GFH'rself! :D

Yea lol either way it doesn't matter to me, I was just curious from an artists point of view because I've seen em done in so many different ways.

Don't really see what she was on about- looks like a basic traditional rose

The rose that Ron Wells just did to go with my gypsy is definitely more "wrong way" than the one on the OP. At first I wasn't sold on it but I've really come to like it and appreciate it's uniqueness.

Sorry, I'm embarrassed I brought the subject away from labias and back on track.

Whats "wrong way" about the RHW rose? I havent seen yours specificly but the guy just puts his slight twist on a traditional rose.

[Tight-Lines]
