General rose symbology<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

It is said that the rose is an emblem in the western world, just as the lotus is in the eastern world.<\/strong>. Different cultures, religions and ideologies have used as a symbol this flower that has a vast and powerful symbolism.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The rose is in the Bible, in the cabala, in the Candombl\u00e9<\/a> and in alchemy. In the myths of Venus in Rome and Aphrodite in Greece. In the legend of St. George, it springs from the blood shed by the wounded dragon. And who does not know the rose of the Little Prince? It was represented on banners in the trenches as well as on dresses and lingerie. Tirelessly evoked by musicians, poets and artists. Always in demand, at weddings, tributes, birthdays or funerals. Rosebuds, wind rose, Rosa Mundi or Rose of Sharon. The rose definitely stands out as an iconographic symbol. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the rose has a very diversified symbolism, there are some that seem to me to stand out above the rest, at least when it comes to tattoos. I will stick to talk about these.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rose signifies above all love, be it sacred, romantic or spiritual. And probably to this day it is the most requested and known paradigm of love.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
They also appear as important symbolism of the rose the mystical heart, the soul and beauty<\/strong>. It is also associated with female sexuality<\/strong>. It also appears related to discretion and secrecy<\/strong>It is also known by myths referring to Cupid and Dionysus, and also by the fact that it only opens its corolla at the moment of death.<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

In the visual representation of a rose, a number of other factors will also influence its symbology.<\/strong>The color and number of petals can alter its meaning. Its meaning can be altered by the perspective in which it is represented, its state of flowering, if its branches, thorns and leaves are appreciated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to love, roses change their meaning a little bit according to their color. For example, the white rose symbolizes innocence, purity and virginity.<\/strong>. The red rose<\/strong> in turn, passion, desire and beauty<\/strong>. And according to the color it wears, symbolism related to these colors and the emotions they represent are attributed to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The number of petals can also change its symbolism for religious and heraldic purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In relation to your perspective, for example, when a rose is depicted open in front view, it closely resembles a rose. mandala<\/a>and adopts a mystical sense<\/strong>. This is the case of the rose windows in churches and the cosmic wheel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The flowering stages, leaves and thorns of the rose are related to the passage of life. The phases of life are symbolized above all through the flowering stage<\/strong>The first two are: birth and infancy with the representation of buds; growth with the roses open and ajar; death and old age with the roses already fully open showing their stamens and pistils, or with the roses already losing their petals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The condition of the leaves, their color and quantity can also alter the meaning in a composition.<\/strong>. Green leaves represent life in its splendor, prosperity and health. Slightly drier and more worn leaves can represent adulthood and old age. It also changes the symbol according to the quantities in which they appear, that is, the number of leaves can help to emphasize the idea in question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When thorns are appreciated<\/strong> in the representation of the rose, a reference is made to the obstacles of life and also to the love difficulties faced in interpersonal relationships.<\/strong>. This is the origin of so many popular sayings, such as the one quoted below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This has been a brief summary of what a rose can mean, I could continue writing pages without quoting all the records that exist regarding its symbolism. Even so, I believe that anyone is capable of realizing all that this flower can represent simply by remembering for a moment what it looks like and all that it conveys.<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 The rose is surely one of the great icons of contemporary tattooing in the West.<\/strong>. It is a classic, it is always present, it is not a fashion that comes and goes.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
 This flower is usually a wise choice to represent love for someone or something.<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

To accompany the name of a family member, such as<\/strong> demonstration of unconditional love<\/strong> it is very common to use a rose as a figurative and symbolic element.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For represent a love of vocational work or a fondness for an activity<\/strong>In this case, a representative object and one or more roses around it are used. As in the case of a photographer, it can be a beautiful camera adorned with roses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For honoring a special place<\/strong>It is common to represent it through a landscape, construction or well-known monument and to frame it with the help of roses to emphasize the affection felt towards this place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to all their beauty and symbolism, roses are also appreciated by tattoo artists for their versatility when it comes to drawing them.<\/strong>. They look great in different styles of tattoo design, both in colors and grays. They fit easily into any hole in the composition and are liked by almost all customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is important to mention that roses are also in great demand for areas of the body that are altered by weight change and for cover up<\/a><\/em>.<\/h4><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Because of the shape of its petals and leaves, the rose gives the tattoo artist the possibility to work with many different lines, textures and color intensities, playing with light and dark areas. It does not need to have a specific or symmetrical shape to be beautiful, adapts perfectly to possible distortions in the skin caused by weight change, even if there are stretch marks, orange peel skin or cellulite.<\/strong>. It is indicated for areas of the body where the skin stretches more with weight gain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because of these same aesthetic attributes, roses are equally suitable for the cover up<\/a>, <\/em>being ideal for covering tattoos that are difficult to cover, or scars that have caused skin texture and\/or pigmentation changes.<\/strong>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
