Rose Tattoos

Acacia Brinley Clark

Acacia Brinley Clark got her second tattoo from Romeo Lacoste in May 2014. It is a pair of roses on her left forearm with tiny pointillism dots instead of traditional shading.

Acacia was only 16 years old when she got this tattoo. In her home state of California there is an age limit of 18 on all tattoos, so she traveled to Las Vegas in Nevada where it is legal to get a tattoo with parental consent.

Melissa Marie Green queen arm tattoo

Melissa added the first large piece to sleeve in August 2013, though she didn’t have it colored until much later. It’s a queen of hearts playing card with a rose at the bottom, outlined by Jesse Mora. She writes: “started outlining my sleeve. my take on “all hail the heartbreaker.” so many meanings behind this tattoo, you have no idea. I love it. thanks @tat2jesse.”

Artist Mikey Tedesco took over the coloring of the tattoo, beginning with the rose at the bottom in January 2014. He redid the black outline making it thicker and colored in the rose with red ink, using blue and yellow on the underside of the petals for contrast. He writes “Did not start this piece but redoing it all started with the rose :)” He completed the coloring of the queen of hearts at a separate session in February 2014.

Faith Evans

R&B singer Faith Evans commemorated her marriage to record label executive Todd Russaw with a tattoo on her chest that says “Faye & Todd For Ever” with a rose and heart. Unfortunately their relationship was not forever as the tattoo proclaimed, and they filed for divorce in 2011 after 14 years of marriage.

The rose itself is a cover-up of another tattoo. Looking closely, there are some black letters that can be seen through the red ink. Her original tattoo was “BIG ❤ Faye” for her husband The Notorious B.I.G., who died in 1997. She added the rose to cover-up BIG’s name, while leaving the heart and her own name visible.

She began dating Todd in 1997 while she and BIG were separated.  They married in 1998 after Biggie’s death and she changed the tattoo shortly after.

Faith is still sporting Todd’s name years after the divorce and we don’t know if she has plans to ever cover or remove it. She remains in close contact with Todd as the former couple have two children together.
