Rose is one of the favorite tattoo designs for both women and men. Historically, the meaning of the rose has changed - from power to humility, from strength to tenderness. Nowadays, such a tattoo will have the meaning that the owner puts into it. Still, it is worth considering how the meaning of a rose tattoo changes depending on the gender of the person and the location of the tattoo on the body.
The meaning of a rose tattoo for men
The rose was grown in Persia and was considered a male flower. It is known from history that the first to tattoo a rose flower on their body were sailors who went to sea for many years. This tattoo was their promise to remain faithful to their wives.
Most often, men's rose tattoos are made on the arm, in particular on the hand. But not only. Nowadays, men get rose tattoos on the shoulder, forearm, along the spine, on the ankle, on the neck, etc.
Unlike women, men prefer to print a large rose flower, and also choose places so that the design is visible.
A rose on a man’s body speaks of love, most often for a girl. If a flower is bound in chains, or the flower is bleeding, daggers are sticking out of it, this indicates strong feelings, as well as the pain suffered.
A man's rose tattoo on the hand means that the owner of the design has passionate feelings for the woman he loves. She is the only one for him, and he wants to tell everyone about it.
A rose tattoo on the neck for men means that a man wants to add mystery to his image. This type of tattoo is considered intimate, since as soon as a man covers the tattoo with a scarf, it will not be visible.
Twig tattoo on collarbone
Lavender sprig on collarbone is a very popular tattoo for women's collarbone. The tenderness of this graceful plant will emphasize the fragility of the female body. Girls really like floral themes for tattoos, which is why they are increasingly offered in fashion salons. You can depict lavender both in color and in monochrome. In any case, the flowers and leaves of the plant should be recognizable.
It is believed that a branch of lavender can protect against the evil eye. Therefore, its presence on a woman’s body can become a kind of amulet against evil energy. Lavender is also associated with physical health and cleansing. In addition, many cultures consider this flower a symbol of eternal love.
From an astrological point of view, lavender can be a suitable tattoo for Leo. It stimulates the development of strength and determination in them. If you have the opportunity to get a color tattoo, then you should remember: blue flowers are suitable for romantic natures, and purple flowers symbolize the inner peace and tranquility of the owner of such a tattoo. Dark shades of flowers will help to seem more mysterious, and bright green leaves demonstrate cheerfulness and a desire to learn new things.
If we talk about the application technique, it is better to choose the watercolor style. This drawing will resemble a photograph. You can also choose minimalism or graphics. But first you need to find a good, clear sketch where all the details of the future tattoo are drawn in detail.
Regardless of the subject, a tattoo on the collarbone is stylish and original. Men more often choose symmetrical options. For girls, delicate designs on one of the collarbones are suitable.
The meaning of a rose tattoo depending on the color and combination with other images
If you want to get a rose tattoo, you should decide on two components:
- tattoo color;
- will the rose be combined with other elements?
Because this changes the symbolism, and the rose will mean something else.
How does the color of a tattoo affect the meaning:
- a white rose symbolizes purity;
- a black rose indicates the strong character of the owner of the tattoo;
- rose with blood - a person has been seriously wounded in the past;
- rosebud in a triangle - luck often smiles on a person;
- white roses on the hand mean that the owner of the tattoo is looking for peace of mind;
- three roses are three sisters - happiness, luck and wealth;
- a red rose indicates royal lineage and power;
- The blue rose is preferred by romantic natures, as well as lovers of mysticism.
Therefore, it is important to choose not only a beautiful sketch, but also to choose the right tattoo color.
Bird tattoo on collarbone
In addition to the inscriptions, in the top of the tattoo for the collarbone there is an image of a bird. Most people associate it with freedom of spirit and independence. These are general characteristics. More detailed interpretations depend on which bird is depicted in the picture. Most often, a plot with a flying bird is chosen by romantic natures, prone to dreams and lengthy reflections.
Usually the following is pricked on the collarbone:
- swallows;
- pigeons;
- crow;
- owls;
- falcons;
- mythical phoenixes;
- mockingbirds;
- flamingo;
- peacocks;
- swans.
A dove, especially a white one, symbolizes purity and purity. Most often, girls choose birds with wings outstretched in flight. A swallow or a small flock of them is designed to demonstrate femininity. Swans on the collarbone usually symbolize love, loyalty and devotion. When choosing an eagle, the lady wants to emphasize the strength of her spirit and will. An owl will mean boundless wisdom and insight. The pink flamingo demonstrates fragility, tenderness and femininity. But when choosing a tattoo in the form of a raven, a girl should be more careful. This is a symbol of independence and wisdom and at the same time something dark and frightening. But, if this contradictory energy of the crow is close to the girl, then you can safely get such a tattoo.

Hands and wrists
The forearm is one of the most popular. Here you can see one rose with a stem, and several buds, and in different designs. It is impossible to even determine exactly what is more here. In general, this part of the hand is my favorite. But in the upper part, tattoos are done in exceptional cases. The color palette here is classic: a black and white sketch or with red and green (the color of the leaves and stem) shades.
Let's talk separately about the wrist. Specifically, the wrist is not a favorite place for drawing, only in exceptional cases. Most often, you can see part of a sketch with this flower on the wrist. If someone does something like this, it’s mostly a black and white minimalist (or slightly larger) bud tattoo.
Rare places for such tattoos
The back is a risky place, so girls choose this place occasionally. Here you can see a small image of a red bud between the shoulder blades. Sometimes there is a full-length plant tattoo - a stem and a bud. This is where red is more common. The brave ones can apply the design to the entire back or shoulders; these are isolated cases.
It also doesn’t occur so often on the neck, but such places are more common for men. Women here prefer black and white options, and prefer to wear the image on the side. Naturally, it will be a relatively small rose (more precisely, a bud and leaves). Sometimes the classic rose colors are also found: red and green.
Roses can be found on the chest much more often; girls here also prefer classic roses. Choose either two roses on the sides, or several in the center. Some female representatives ask the artist to make a tattoo under the breast. It looks quite unusual.
