Instructions

1. 
    
   Draw a rose tattoo that's long if you like.

   Choose an angle you want to draw your rose tattoo. Do you want it to seem like a viewer is looking straight down at your rose tattoo, or from the side? Often a 3/4 top view is an attractive angle, but it is a matter of personal choice how you draw your rose tattoo. Often tattoos have symbolic meaning so choose what right for you.

2. 
    
   Draw a rose tattoo that is fully open, if you choose.

   Decide how open or closed you want the rose to be in your tattoo. Do you want to draw a rose tattoo in full bloom, or a mere bud?

3. 
    
   Draw a rose tattoo that fits your style.

Tips & Warnings

• When you draw a rose tattoo for a tattoo artist, think of it as giving the artist an idea of what you want. A good tattoo artist will often draw a rose tattoo sketch that is embellished according to his or her personal style. This can be an exciting process since he or she is a professional and can do things with their art that we can’t convey. However, remember that this is YOUR body so you have the final say to reject a sketch of a rose tattoo that you are unsatisfied with.
