12 Classic Rose Tattoo Stencil Designs

Roses are one of the most common tattoo designs out there. In this article, we’ll take a look at some of the rose tattoo designs clients ask for the most with ready-to-go stencils to make it easy.

1

Rose with Rosary Tattoo Stencil

This stencil combines the beauty of a simple rose with the symbolism of a rosary, popular for clients looking for a faith-based design.

2

Rose and Butterfly Tattoo Stencil

This is a classic pairing, representing love and passion.

3

Rose and Clock Tattoo Stencil

In tattoos, clocks are a reminder of limited time, while roses represent love - a clear reminder to cherish the people in our lives.

4

Heart and Rose Tattoo Stencil

Hearts and roses are often used to symbolize love. Together, they make a delicate tattoo for someone who values the passion in their life.

5

Money Rose Tattoo Stencil

Blending beauty and ambition, the money rose is popular for people chasing their goals.

6

Rose with Stem Tattoo Stencil

This rose tattoo stencil works well for clients who want something along the lines of the body (the shin, down the arm, along the spine).

7

Skull Rose Tattoo Stencil

A stark reminder of the contrast of life and death, skull and rose tattoos are among the most popular designs in the world.

8

2 Roses Tattoo Stencil

Sometimes one flower will look odd standing alone on the body. Having a 2-rose design is a good example of how to add balance to a tattoo.

9

3 Rose Tattoo Stencil

Three roses lend itself well to a structural triangle. This makes it a good combination to put around a curving surface like the knee or hip. 

10

Dead Rose Tattoo Stencil

A different take on a “dead rose” (which is usually a stemmed rose that’s drooping), using a coffin can add more structure to the tattoo and fill the space (like on a calf).

11

Linework Rose Tattoo Stencil 

For clients who want something that’s more minimalistic, a linework rose without shading can be the right choice.

12

Black and White Rose Tattoo Stencil

Built for a classic black and gray tattoo, this rose stencil will fit most anywhere on the body. Just remember if you want to size down to remove some of the detail so it doesn’t blend together as the tattoo ages.

Roses will always be one of the most iconic tattoo designs, and the right stencil makes bringing them to life that much easier. If you want to follow along, make sure to check out our article How to Tattoo a Rose for Beginners.

Become a Tattoo Artist With the Artist Accelerator Program

Having a career in tattooing is not only fulfilling, but it’s also the most stable way to make a living as an artist. However, for decades, the process to become a tattoo artist has been notoriously difficult. 

The apprenticeship process requires aspiring tattoo artists to work 50-60 hours a week without pay for 2-4 years. That, combined with the toxic culture of abusing apprentices, makes getting into the industry almost impossible for newcomers. 

That’s why we created the Artist Accelerator Program. Our online course provides a simple, structured way of learning to tattoo that has been proven to work by over 7500 successful students, with many of them having gone on to open their own shops all around the world. 

Inside the program, we’ll take you through every step of the tattooing process in 9 clear, easy-to-follow modules and support you along the way within the Tattooing 101 Mastermind online community.

In the Mastermind group, you’ll collaborate with other students, get answers to your questions, and receive personalized video feedback on your artwork and tattoos from professional tattoo artists. With this friendly community of both new and experienced tattoo artists, you’ll never be stuck again. 

When you join the Artist Accelerator Program, you’ll have instant access to the full course and the Mastermind community, as well as our 30-Day Flash Challenge and recorded interviews with tattoo artists from all over the world.
