So I am considering getting a tattoo when I turn 18 before I head off to the Military. I want to get a tattoo for me and my ex bf who after everything we’ve been through together is still my best friend in the world, like no one understands how close he is to me, no one knows me like he does not even my own family. Other than the Lord, there is no one that knows me better. I want it to symbolize our love. I may not be in love with him anymore, but i love him a lot and nothing can ever change that. I was thinking of doing his name with roses, but then i thought about it and decided not to do the name.
What i want to do now is a rose. I’m thinking a rose with different colored petals, since roses have different meanings i don’t want to have to put like a bunch of them. I’m also thinking if I can fit them then put the meaning for the colors, and maybe on the sides put some thorns, because I want to put this on my lower back or centered right under my neck. Idealy, how much would a tattoo like this might cost?
And these are the colors i want in it:
Red: True Love, Deep Love, Romance, And Passion
White: Purity And Innocence
Orange: Enthusiasm, Excitement, And Fascination
Deep Pink: Gratitude Or Appreciation.
Light Pink: Admiration, Joy, And Sweetness.
Yellow: Friendship, Happiness, And Warmth
Lavender: Love At First Sight
Peach: Gratitude, Appreciation, And Admiration
Blue: Something Desired, But Unattainable.
Black: Loss
This is the kind of rose i’d want to do:

I wouldn’t clutter the rose with the meanings of the colors. You know the meanings of the colors, you don’t need them tattooed on there, too. A rose with different colored petals would be very pretty. The image it put in my mind reminded me of stained glass.
The cost would vary based on how large you want it. Most places charge by the hour, with $100 an hour being pretty standard. Your rose could take an hour to do, it could take 3 hours to do. So, my guess is between $100 and $300. A cheap tattoo isn’t good and a good tattoo isn’t cheap – remember that.
Good luck to you on your tattoo!
