Rose silhouette temporary tattoo with stem and thorns

This minimalist rose silhouette temporary tattoo features a single stem with thorns, rendered in clean fine lines for a graphic botanical look. The elongated vertical format (under 3x10cm, roughly the length of a matchbox) suits linear body placements without overwhelming the skin.

Unlike full-bloom rose designs with detailed petals, this silhouette approach uses negative space and simplified shapes to create a modern interpretation. The thornless stem adds symbolic weight—representing both beauty and protection—while maintaining visual simplicity. The compact width keeps the design discreet despite its vertical length.

Our plant-based jagua ink penetrates slightly into the skin's surface layer for a matte, authentic finish, unlike synthetic transfer stickers that sit on top and create a shiny effect. This natural formulation resists water and friction, lasting 10 to 15 days compared to 3-5 days for standard temporary transfers. The ink develops gradually over 24-48 hours for deeper color saturation.

This long narrow format works particularly well along the forearm, down the side of the ankle, or vertically on the ribcage. The vertical orientation follows natural body lines rather than fighting against them. Also suitable behind the ear or along the collarbone for those preferring smaller visible placements.

Good choice for those testing botanical tattoo concepts before committing to permanent ink, or anyone seeking a simple floral symbol without elaborate detail. The thorn element adds edge to an otherwise delicate subject.
