ROSE – melting

ROSE, the hidden meaning in a tattoo 

 

in this short article of the section “PSICO DESIGN – the psychology of the drawings” we address the meaning and symbolism of the ROSE from a mythical or primordial point of view, to apply it in the portrayal of the tattoo

 

Anyway, we speak of fairytales that make us dream, there’s no time for science here

 

The prefrontal cortex has no ground here, we move within the emotions of the limbic brain or the instinct of the reptilian brain 

 

THE ROSE has now become famous,  you have seen it over and over again in a thousand ways

then how come people still love it and get a tattoo with it?

how come you still like it?

 

how can I give it a new soul to fall in love with? 

 

we all know that, in the symbolism of flowers, the rose changes meaning according to its color,

 

red for passion, yellow for jealousy, white for purity, pink for affection, blue for melancholy….. black for the elegance of tragedy

 

but today I would like to tell you something different…..

 

the musk rose is called so because it is a pink rose, but stained with green

 

it is the natural meeting of two realities, of two different points of view, of two opposite and complementary colors

 

complementary, in essence it means that if you mix them, they create the gray, the perfect tone, the one that gives peace to the human eye

 

ok… a musky rose is not easy to find, just like a unicorn

 

the meeting of two realities however does not have to create the perfect tone

 

in fact, the two colors remain clearly visible, flawless, untouched

they mix without getting confused

they connect without rubbing off on each other 

they coexist peacefully in harmony 

 

the two entities remain alive, do not cancel out just because they coexist in the same rose

 

it is a difficult meeting to create, but it means that we can remain ourselves, even when nature puts us in contact with an unexpected situation, like two colors in the same rose

 

or two hearts under a roof

 

or a human being in contact with the world

 

the rose (the red one, in particular) has always been a famous image of intensity, 

of ardent passion, of strength

 

but a rose always carries thorns and as beautiful and voluptuous ,soft and fragrant as it could be, it must always be handled with care and attention

 

the large leaves hide the thorns to the careless customer

 

they put you to the test, they are the price to pay to reach its beauty

they are the minefield, the obstacle course, the chutes and ladders  to reach the prize

 

the rose is a symbol of a gained and conquered love

 

like the boy who gives it as a gift to the damsel to reach her heart

 

in short, you ask permission and you advance calmly to reach a moment of glory or happiness

 

because happiness is never free and we are now learning it

 

with love, but always irreverent
