Even though more modern interpretations of the enigmatic motif are starting to appear in tattoo culture, the gypsy rose tattoo is still a staple of traditional American tattoo art.

Aitken Smith states that “the rose is a flower that has long held the imagination – rich with deeper, esoteric connotations as well, but on the surface a powerful symbol of passion and love.”

These tattoos, when paired with the enduringly gorgeous gypsy woman, encapsulate the nomadic lifestyle: the freedom and excitement of traveling and experiencing the present, good fortune and luck, independence, and desire.

You can apply a great deal of variation to your tattoo design by choosing from this collection of gypsy rose tattoos, which features American Traditional, classical black and gray, Chicano, and Neo Traditional versions of an everlasting classic.
