Here is a bunch of rose tattoos for you to take a look at. There are so many combinations of roses that you could spend an entire day looking through galleries of this type of tattoo design. People get this tattoo on their arms, legs, backs, lower backs and almost anywhere else. They even add other features like crosses, skulls or thorns to their designs.

My favorite rose tattoo is the one with the thorns and makes a cross; it's a black and white picture which makes the rose stand out better. I also like the color of the forearm rose tattoos as the colors blend together and does not over power the arm but makes the roses look nice. As you can see there are many different types of these tattoos to choose from, many different colors and styles so take your time!

Today skulls are starting to also be associated with life in a way. If a skull represents death then it can also be a reminder to us that life is short and to live each day to it's fullest a sort of symbolic "Carpe Diem".Now there are still those of course that get skull tattoo just to look tough and menacing but the number has definitely changed in the last few years. Those that want to look thought and menacing get tattoos like the Grim Reaper. The Grim Reaper is an depiction or a figure of death the one who comes and gets you at the end of your time. He wears black robes and has no face but carries a big farming sickle.

The technique with which the pigments are brought underneath the skin has not undergone any significant change during the course of history. There are, however, depending on the state of development and degree of inventiveness, great variations in the quality. And then there are the craft aspects: the application of the correct amount of pigment; correct penetration, not too deep, without leaving scars, damaging muscles, rupturing arteries or chipping the bones. Even primitive cultures whose practices involve the piercing of the cheeks - a technique used sometimes with Maori facial tattooing - have developed astonishing tattooing techniques.
In the case of other techniques, the skin is divided up into areas by a series of preliminary cuts. These areas are then filled with figures such as lizards or simple forms such as diamonds, circles and stars. Another, less precise technique involves the drawing of lines and curves with a sharp stone. This technique, which permits complex tattoos with long rows of dots, spirals or other forms, was used by the peoples of Europe in ancient times and is still employed today by the North American Indians. The technique does not, however, employ black or shaded areas of a larger size. It is, of course, a very good technique the tattooing of writing, with which we are familiar all over Indochina. There people use the so-called chisel with one hand and hammers on its handle in quick succession with a type of mallet held in the other hand. The points are thereby driven through the skin, which is drawn tight by assistants.
Another sophisticated manual technique is the Japanese method. In the case of the so-called bokashi technique, twenty-seven needles are capable of creating the most beautiful shades of grey in the world, going from black to 9 colorless in one smooth transition. Since the invention of the electric tattooing machine, however, the Japanese manual technique is now used only by experienced prison tattoo artists.
