yeah. it is a marilyn monroe rose, which means more to me than just marilyn though i love her to death. i knew i really only wanted one tattoo that had to be timeless and pretty, feminine. i wanted this for two years before i go it. but i don't know if i will keep it in this art nouveau style or shade it to make it more realistic.
I'm not familiar with nouveau style, and if that is the style in which this tattoo was done and you like it, then go for it. I really like the rose, but I don't really like how it is done in this picture. Personally, I think the outline is WAY too heavy and thick and kind of takes away from the flower and the colors. I would lighten up on that (unless you like it, of course). The shading and blending of the colors isn't great either.
Do you already have an artist in mind? Has he/she drawn anything up for you yet? I'm asking these questions because, from the way you made it sound, you have not gotten it yet. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Is this a picture of it that you found, or is this yours?

yeah, i felt that way too initially. i asked for an outline not in black but was told it wouldn't look very good later. i did get it, i just don't know if i want to make any changes to it. i would accentuate the art nouveau (think Alphonse Mucha) by adding some other elements to it, but that will make it bigger-which i don't want. Overall i think it is pretty I had just originally imagined something more realistic.

I decided to have a 50/50 raw/cooked meal at Vita last night, having had a desire for warm meals for last couple of weeks. They had a Vegan Paella, it was amazing but it's only the second time I have had grains for a year and I had headache soon a...
It's actually surprisingly easy once you get the hang of it. No machete required. Shave off the husk at the pointed top close to the shell. Then poke the point of a knife in about 2 or 3 cm out from the centre and wiggle it about until it pierces ...
Yes, I believe two out of the four pineapples I've had the last several months have been alright with me, after having let them "ripen" for some days. The one that turned out the best was one I stored in a bag of ripening bananas. I did the same t...
