7. Draw the sepals and the stem. Draw a straight line under the flower. Then, use curved lines to enclose curved triangular shapes beneath each side of the line, leaving a space between them. This forms the sepals, small leaves beneath the flower. From the opening in the center, extend a pair of curved lines to form the stem.

Learn More About The Rose Tattoo Drawing

“A rose in a desert can only survive on its strength, not its beauty.”
― Matshona Dhliwayo, Canadian author

There are nearly 8,000 species of roses that grow around the world. From the wild varieties, edible and ornamental varieties have been cultivated. Roses are exchanged as gifts symbolizing love, friendship, apology, and sympathy.

This rose is drawn in tribal tattoo style. Tattoos have decorated human bodies for thousands of years.

Prior to modern times, people used sharp objects to create a design on the skin. Then, the pierced skin was stained with charcoal or other dark natural substances. Today, tattoos are still popular, and many women gravitate to feminine objects such as flowers.
