Rose Tattoos - What Color Should They Be?
As far as popularity is concerned, the rose tattoo is right up at the top of the list. People have inked roses of all sorts on their bodies for a long time. The reason for this varies but mostly, the rose is synonymous with love. From early times, roses have been given to the significant other as a sign of affection. They also have been used to express apology, happiness, congratulations and the celebration of birthdays and anniversaries. They can be inked in the fully bloomed state or even as a budding flower. But what color should be used? Below is a brief list of the colors of the rose and their meanings.
Red. Obviously this is the color of love and affection. It can also depict courage or respect. Many times the red rose is used to express sincere love and passion. The most popular color for a tattoo.
Yellow. The yellow rose is given when someone wishes to express friendship or happiness. It coincides with delight and joy. Sometimes the yellow rose is used to show caring or nurturing. A stunning tattoo color.
Peach. This color is very pretty and subtle. The peach rose is given to someone to say thanks and show gratitude. It may be used when one wants to express sincerity and appreciation for an accomplishment. Very subtle.
White. Most people associate the white rose with weddings and marriage. It is a symbol of innocence and purity. It can also express intimacy and secrecy. Difficult to make look natural.
Blue. When someone uses the blue rose they can be expressing the impossible or unattainable. It is used for displaying the unreachable goal or dream. This is a very striking tattoo color.
Pink. Very many times pink roses will be used to show sympathy or sorrow. They also can symbolize grace, gentleness and admiration. Not used much but should be.
Orange. When someone is enthusiastic or wants to display fascination and desire they generally turn to the orange rose. It is a symbol of wants and achievement. Also a beautiful tattoo color.
Sterling or Lavender. This is a beautiful color of rose. It is meant to display infatuation or love at first sight. It can be use to express enchantment or fantasy as well. Works well with dragons and fantasy tats.
Black. This is the rose that means death and despair. When this rose is used it means goodbye or farewell to those who have passed on. Use carefully.
The above colors and their definitions are just guidelines. You can ink whatever color rose you would like. It really is up to the individual but keep in mind the color so that you don't use the incorrect meaning.
I wish you well in your search for the perfect tattoo design.

The Language of Roses
Everywhere you go, roses are traditional favorites – they symbolize love and beauty. It is commonly sent as a gift to friends and families and for many people, the colors of the rose you send to someone can mean something.
For example, a Pink Rose flower can mean grace and gentility. If you give it to someone, you’re telling him/her “you’re gentle and graceful”. If you were given a rose with a deep pink color, they’re probably saying “thank you” while light pink roses mean sympathy and admiration. It is the best way to cheer up grieving family members. The regular pink roses can mean “I’m very happy with our relationship”.
Peach colored roses are usually used for decorations and in bouquets given to friends because they mean sociability, friendship and modesty. Of course, deep red is about saying “I love you” and is a favorite gift for Valentine’s Day. Few people also associate this color with passion and other noble values like respect and courage.
Contrary to what many people think, a white colored rose doesn’t only mean friendship. Fact is, it has several special meanings such as “you’re heavenly” and “I’m worthy of you”. It is often associated with values like reverence, humility, innocence, purity, secrecy and silence. It is most commonly used in weddings and is deemed as colorful as the red ones.
Yellow Philippine roses express joy and gladness. It is given to new mothers, newlyweds and graduates to celebrate their achievements. These usually serve as a reminder for your busy loved ones. Orange roses are for enthusiasm and desire. If you want to tell someone that you want to get to know them better, then this is the perfect color of roses to give them.
Lavender colored roses is a symbol of “falling in love” and is given to someone when you want to say “I am enchanted by you”. A blue rose is very difficult to find but there are already several companies trying to reproduce them naturally. Blue means mystery and it could also mean “attaining the impossible” – give this to someone and you’re ultimately saying “you are a rare gem, with you, I have attained the impossible”.
So, if you want to send multiple messages to someone, you send them a combination of colors. For example, white and red roses delivered together can mean “may be always be together as one”. Or send lavender and orange rose to say that you are falling in love and you want to know him/her better.
Or you can try this tip. Send 11 deep pink colored roses and 1 red rose to say this message to your partner: “thank you for being unique, I love you.”
