The Blue Rose Tattoo

June 29th, 2009

A blue rose is a flower of the genus Rosa that presents blue to violet pigmentation, instead of the more common red or white. Blue roses do not exist in nature. Faux blue roses were traditionally created by dyeing white roses, since the flower lacks the gene that produces true blue flowers. Nominal “blue roses” have been bred by conventional hybridization methods, but the results, such as “Blue Moon” are more accurately described as lilac in color. The Blue rose tattoo is a popular choice among both men and women. The most common meaning behind the rose tattoo is the representation of beauty. Many rose tattoo lovers believe the rose represents both inner and outer beauty. When thorns are present on the image, it means the person does not place a great deal of emphasis on outer beauty. For others, the rose image refers to everlasting beauty, with the thorn meaning you can look but you can’t touch.
