A red rose is the symbol love, romance and passion. Usually.
But as always, cultures have their own way of looking at things.
The red rose also symbolises grace and beauty.
A red rose has become a symbol of socialism and it’s image is used by the British and Irish Labor Parties, as well as by the French, Spanish, Portuguese, Norwegian, Danish, Swedish, Finnish, Brazilian, Dutch and European socialist parties. The symbol originates from the red rose used as a badge by the marchers in the May 1968 street protests in Paris. (from theydeserveit.com)
Roses are also a popular Christian symbol. The white rose was seen as standing for the innocence and purity of Maria, while red roses symbolized the blood of Christ, and the thorns represented sin. (from a stamp site!)

Tattoos are one of the many ways of expressing your opinion, beliesf and like-dislikes. At the same time it can make you unconventional beacuse you are doing something that is not very common. This is what I love about tattoos. These tattoos are really interesting, at least for me.
