Is it girly for a guy to get a tattoo of a rose?

Q. I kind of want to do a memorial tattoo for my mom. Her favorite flower was a rose, her tombstone is rose colored, and there are roses planted in front of it.

But I'm worried it might be a little girly. Maybe I should just do something else that's rose colored? I don't really want to choose something from a book because I think it's a little impersonal, so I'm not sure what to do. What do you think?

A. Sorry for the loss of your mother. Take your time, when in grief it's hard to think clearly, don't feel compelled to rush your decision in getting a tattoo.

Did you know the most common tattoo put on by BOTH men & women in the world is the rose? So no I don't think its too "girly." Much will depend on style, colors, size & placement of the design. Too much color tends to look feminine on a guy.

To get the best tattoo-- set up appointments with very experienced artists, at least 3 different ones, for consultations. Make it clear you will pay for their time. Give them what ideas & pictures you are thinking of & then let them come up with design ideas for you.

Once you find an artist you like & their design, move forward. If you are indecisive then hold off for a while & find other ways to honor your mom's memory. Good luck in your research!


How do you feel about tattoos?
Q. I'm planning on getting a tattoo, (either on my wrist, my shoulder, my hip, or my ankle) but just out of curiosity, how do you feel about tattoos?

And if you ever did choose to get one, where would it be and what would it be of?


Much thanks to anybody who responds!

A. I think you will, and already have, gotten two very different sets of responses from two very different sets of people.
People either love 'em or hate 'em!
The thing is, generations are becoming more and more tattooed as time goes on. I myself have a few, which I love, and plan on getting more. My Mother absolutely hates them, and wishes I still had the "skin and body of a woman" meaning untouched and unaltered. In my opinion, colorful designs pictures and scrolls, are just as beautiful (if not more) than soft flesh, and plain skin. I understand her argument, but just love the art form too much to agree.
Tattoos tell stories, and start conversations. There is no more beautiful form of art, than the art someone chooses to be on them forever and represent them in this permanent form of beauty.
Know what you want, do your research, and fall in love with every tattoo you choose to get. Even someone who doesn't agree with tattooing, can appreciate someone loving their body, and feeling proud of what you do with it!
Happy Tattooing :)
