The rose tattoos is a staple in the tattoo chronicles.  The rose is probably the most popular flower of all time and like the lotus in the east, the rose represents love and purity in the west.

The different colors of the rose depict different emotions with the yellow rose being the symbol of joy, white is for reverence and pink is considered the rose of sympathy and admiration.  The white rose was considered the rose of purity in medieval times and was such given to ladies who had not yet lost their virginity.  The red rose is the rose of love and covers all aspects of love from romantic gestures to sacred love of family and faith.
