Rose tattoos

[semele]

@rozone, awesome. Also, I don't have a photo but Richard Smith over at TTW posted a super slick rose on a hand, a little more stylized and angular. Fun stuff!

I think this is it, from his instagram:

I just got a pretty sweet black & grey skull and roses tattoo from Eli Quinters last week.

The roses are super killer.

I'll post a picture when it's fully healed.

Here it is.

It's only a week old, so it's still pretty fresh and has some settling down to do, but you get the idea.

These are as close to perfect if you ask me.... Scott Sylvia I think his name is;)

i enjoy Cris Cleens roses, folky and victorian or whatever you would call it.

I really enjoy the whole Eli Quinters "Teen- Angels" thing .

Totally.

I'm such a huge fan of that whole aesthetic, and Eli Quinters portrays it so convincingly.

Anyone see these black and grey roses with a skull and sword tattoo by Stewart Robson in his tattoo pictures?

I would very much like to see this one healed. I have always like the Traditional style rose more, but I catch myself spending more time gazing and enjoying the semi-realistic fine-line work, like that of Mr. Robson.

Thanks for that post Uncle Loch!

Got to be the black rose. Just a wonderful flower. That contrasts the skin.

I am glad you posted these. Last week I took the time to make up a big post with examples of some roses that I love. I then deleted the entire post and I didn't have the heart or the time to put it all back together. I had also added a Scott Harrison rose (which are pretty hard to find on the internet), and a couple by Juan Puente. The thing that they all have in common is that no skin is left in them. They are colored in all the way to the outline. I really dig this style. I think it gives them a nice full look.

Just got a rose from Tutti Serra...

Just in case you're REALLY into roses, here's Jeff's new book:

I like rose tattoos with a black outline made by people over 50. But hey, whatever you're into, there's room for it all.

What about roses with a black outline made by people who have been tattooing for over 50 years?

I got this one from Tony D'Annessa around Easter time this year, it's from one of his old roll-up flash sheets.

What kind of rose would you call this? I don't know that I've ever seen one with the middle really low like this. Also, what are those red ball thingies called. When I asked for them I just said "red ball thingies".
