Getting a tattoo can be a daunting endeavor. Unless you’re opting for temporary tattoos, traditional body art lasts forever—so you had better make your ink count. This makes a rose an ideal choice as a tattoo idea. After all, the flower has a classical, timeless beauty, so it will surely pass the test of time on your skin. You just need to decide where, how, and what style you’ll get it in. To help you choose, we’re sharing some of the best rose tattoos.

Because of their popularity, you can get this bloom in any sort of style. You could opt for a realistically rendered rose that showcases all of its delicate petals and vibrant colors. Or, you could find a tattoo artist that will recreate the rose with the carefree fluidity of a watercolor painting. Alternatively, the flower could be one part of a larger design that spreads across your arms or back. The key is to opt for a style that you like that you'll be happy with for years to come. When done well, it will make your skin bloom with beauty.
