lving4today Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/1467-roses-wrong-or-right-way/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
cc13 Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 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 Lance, Lochlan, lving4today and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/1467-roses-wrong-or-right-way/#findComment-22151 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wedge Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 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. lving4today, JAllen and Tight-Lines 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/1467-roses-wrong-or-right-way/#findComment-22468 Share on other sites More sharing options...
