Is this a good idea for a tattoo? or is it just tacky?

Roses are not tacky roses have a lot of meaning especially depending on the color. Why don't you research what each color means and research what other flowers mean and maybe you'll want to get a different flower. But if you really want a rose and you keep looking at other things but keep coming back to a rose then you already know that what your going to get. I asked and asked and asked ppl if they think I should get a vertical or horizontal eyebrow piercing I really want horizontal and half the ppl said yes and the other half said no. Well I got the horizontal anyway cause I really wanted it and I couldn't be happier!!! Hope this helps and good luck!!!
