Rose tattoos - they might seem like the ultimate sentimental mistake from the 90s, but trust us, they're having a comeback.

Forget the thick black outlines and badly drawn clunky illustrations of decades past, 2020's reincarnation of the rose tattoo is super delicate, totally chic and still a little bit romantic.

Swiftly becoming the hottest floral tattoo design to get inked in 2020 (after lavender, poppies and sunflowers, of course) rose tattoos span everything from vintage pin-up styles to ultra modern single needle outlines. Whether filled with watercolour-style washes of colour, or a minimal monochrome colour palette, rose tattoos are the seriously pretty way to get your ink on.

Check out the below for all your rose tattoo design inspiration...
