Old school rose temporary tattoo with leaves

This minimalist old school rose temporary tattoo features classic tattoo iconography in a compact format, ideal for those who appreciate traditional flash-style designs without the permanent commitment. The under-3cm size (roughly coin-sized) keeps the heritage aesthetic discreet.

This design combines vintage tattoo shop elements—bold rose outline with accent leaves—in clean simplified lines. Unlike larger traditional roses with heavy shading, this version distills the motif to its essential shapes, making it readable even at tiny scale. The minimalist treatment gives classic American traditional style a modern, wearable twist.

Our plant-based jagua ink penetrates the skin's surface layer for a matte, authentic finish that water-slide decals cannot replicate. This natural approach resists water, friction, and daily wear for 10 to 15 days, significantly outlasting synthetic transfers that typically fade within 3 to 5 days.

This compact format works well behind the ear, on the inner wrist, at the ankle, or along the side of a finger. The small footprint also makes it suitable for layering with other tiny designs if you're building a patchwork aesthetic.

Good choice for traditional tattoo enthusiasts testing placement options, or anyone drawn to old school flash imagery in a subtle everyday format. The rose-and-leaves motif reads clearly even at this reduced scale.
