What’s the meaning of this tattoo design?

The grim reaper symbolizes the grim reaper and the rose is meant to make you think of roses

You can get a tattoo just cause it looks cool if you want. Dont think too much about it.

Good dental work is forever.

The rose represents beauty, and the reaper represents death. Notice the rose is upside down, which means death butt-fucks even the most beautiful in the end.

There is none, son. It’s just a dope design.

Most tattoos don’t mean anything.. they’re just a cool collection of art, like any other collection. Just things that appeal to the collector.

Watching too many tattoo tv shows makes you think they all need meaning, and that all tattooers are some over designed character. Most of us are just boring ass regular folks who make tattoos and don’t care for drama

it means that smoking weed will turn you gay

It means you’re a wild boy with a soft side

It means the wearer has good taste and a great artist

Means you had a couple hundred bucks and now you don't.

I wouldn’t get this unless you’re trying to pick fights. The flames symbolize 5+ years locked up in prison and the reaper means you’ve likely killed puppies.

It’s a sign of a sick tattoo.

It means reaper cool.

It means the person has a fucking cool tattoo

It means the wearer of this tattoo picked a rad fucking tattoo to adorn their meat suit.

One of the most annoying things you can ask someone is what their tattoos mean. MORE THAN LIKELY it has no meaning and just looks cool or is personal and weird to talk about during small talk ... looking at all you aunt and uncles out there

it means you enjoy eating it from the back

It's 2024 unless you are getting straight up gang or white hate tattoos your gonna be fine.

It means you're bad ass man.

It means it’s a tattoo dumbass

"It looked cool and i had money"

it means hell yeah bröther

I hope you don’t think every single tattoo design has some secret/underlying meaning lol

You gotta be careful. This is an old Russian prison tattoo given to only the Cutiest of Patooties

I like how this is one of your top performing submissions and it’s all because people are so easily triggered 😂

Solid bait. Well done.

People with allergies get this as a “death to flowers” kinda thing.

Honestly, tattoos mean whatever they mean to you. I have 40+. 4 have actual meaning. The rest are either rad art I love looking at daily or make me smile/laugh. Obviously there are some tattoos that absolutely have inherent meaning, but this one is just 2 pretty slick designs. You could say a lot of it, death/life cycle, beauty in loss, fuck spring time.

That it looks cool

That it looks sick

No idea but its a dope tattoo

It means whoever has it is sick af

means is fuckin cool

You’re a corn ball

The meaning is to show how much of a badass you are.

So tired of these “what does this mean” posts

It's a political statement about our current gerontocracy - we are ruled by those who are close to death, and they disregard our lives. It may also be a reference to the hit Cartoon Network show The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy.

It just looks cool bud.

Death is always coming… for our roses… in flames.

Sick tats are sick. Pick it and stick it baby!

Means it’s fucking sick

Somebody wanted to look cool and had some spare cash. Doesn't have to mean much more than that, tbh

scary bone man bring flower

Uh it’s fucking cool?

Life and death

Whatever you want it to be. Tattoos don’t have to have meaning. Especially nowadays. If you want something cause it looks cool get it

Lol

It means the person wearing it is fuckin cool

It's a pretty cool memento mori

You had 300 bucks

It means you'll have a sick design on you

Why should it mean anything?

It's means 🤙

Clean your teeth and your breath will smell like roses.

Fucking sick ass skeleton bro

Sometimes people just get shit cause it looks cool

Who said there is one?

Means ur sick

it means you’re gay

The original and truest meaning of the tattoo was lost in translation thousands of years ago but basically what people who have studied Sailor Jerry through and through all seem to agree this tattoo design means “ Cock and Balls”

What's this style called? I've seen so many designs done in a similar style/work/color,so I'm wondering what its called.

Shouldn’t you be the one telling us, what it means to you?

Basically, whoever wears it, MEANS BUSINESS! Serious business. That’s what’s it means.

It’s rad

it means skulls look cool, even cooler with flames and a grim reaper hood. and a rose is pretty and filled out the bottom of the space.

it means it’s sick as fuck

Nothing it’s just cool

meant to look tough. and sick

It’s part of a classic Pat Martynuik -“the picture machine” design.. one of the best traditional designs ever

It represents how sick reapers are as tattoos

It means you like reapers and roses

why do people every tattoo has a meaning?

It means you’re cool

It means the person that has this tattoo had a few hundred extra bucks at some point in their life.

A smiling terrorist after Israel has bombed them.

It’s referring to the inevitability of death and the beauty of life. I assume the flames are to augment the skull to either make it look cooler or a reference to hell. The origins of the image come from an Edmund J. Sullivan illustration in The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam in 1913 and was adopted as The Grateful Dead’s logo by poster artists Stanley Mouse and Alton Kelly. There’s no context to this image that would put you in danger. Another skull image however, the Hells Angels’ death head, is proprietary to their club and nonmembers caught with it tattooed on them will have it either cut off or burned off.
