10 Best Fan Art/Tattoos Of The Beauty And The Beast Rose

Disney’s Beauty and the Beast is a fantastical tale of love, compassion, and redemption. This narrative has been a fan favorite since Disney’s original animated release in 1991. The love has also endured the live-action recreation in 2017, which starred Emma Watson as the beautiful Belle and Dan Evans as the (realistically animated) Beast.

Due to the film’s loyal fanbase and multi-generational enduring audience, many artists and fans have created and requested art that emulated the rose that intertwined Belle and Beast. This rose, though having little screen time, is the motivation for the plot, as it is enchanted to help the beast rediscover his humanity through loving and being loved in return.

While there are a plethora of amazing artistic representations of this rose, here is a look at some of the best fan art images and tattoos of the magical rose that drives the story-line of Disney’s tale as old as time, Beauty and the Beast.

10 A Tale As Old As Time, A Recreation That’s Sublime

This digitally recreated image, created by Tigermint, is a nice portrayal of the magic of the near-immortal rose and the glass that confines it. The hues of purples and pinks create a whimsical and magical allure to the flower.

The glow is a stark contrast to the deep purple backdrop and spotlights the rose encased in glass. The artist takes creative liberties by showing rose petals falling around the flower outside of the glass container. While this does not happen in the film, it is done well and works to reminds viewers that the petals will fall, but hopefully, the beast will accomplish his task before the enchantment seals his own fate.

9 The Vibrant Stained Glass Rose Tattoo

The tattoo combined the stained glass of the beast’s castle with the rose that resides behind closed doors.  This vibrant stained glass tattoo has great color saturation. The vibrancy of the red shines against the deep blues of the backdrop.

Using the same shade of red to outline the rose blossom subtly shows the enchantment of the flower.

8 The Stained Glass Mirror Tattoo

This tattoo boasts intricate coloring and the French molding of a mirror, which is perhaps the magical mirror that the beast gave Belle.

As the old saying goes, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” With this tattoo, the artist shows that a mirror beholds beauty, and this mirror shows a rose. So, by association, the enchanted rose, which symbolizes the quest for love, is the beauty being held.

7 Time Reveals True Resilience

As the bio of the image explains, the inspiration for this work of art is to show the vibrancy of life in uncertain times, much like the enduring rose in the dilapidated wing of the beast’s castle. The stong color choices of this design create a stunning image of the Beauty and the Beast‘s enchanted rose. While the rose may lose petals, there is hope that the vibrancy of love will endure.

Using a clock frame to house this art hearkens to the character of Cogsworth in the Disney film.

6 The Heart That Is Home To The Rose

This minimalist drawing uses a white backdrop to contacts the simple color choices of red, back, and green.

The simple drawing speaks volumes. A rose that is enchanted for the sake of love, this artist creates a work that shows that the source of the rose’s power and enchantment comes from the heart of which it is bound.

5 Beauty Is Found Within

The vibrant tattoo details the rose breaking through the glass barrier with its thorny stem drawn like vines. This shows that love may conquer the confines that keep it and perhaps even insinuates that love has no bounds and must be accepted with its beautiful blossoming alongside the thorns that come with it.

This tattoo is also a very successful coverup to an initial winged heart design tattoo. If this were not two images placed side-by-side, viewers would have no idea that there was a tattoo in this place before the rose.

4 The Canvas Creation Color Contrast

This canvas painting is absolutely chilling. This artist chooses to detail the glass designs, which add to the depth that is the rose. These designs are of a whimsical, magical nature that reaffirms that this rose is enchanted.

The red pigment of the blossom contrasts the many hues of blue and grey. This color contrast exemplifies the emotions of the setting; the rose symbolizes love against the cold setting of isolation and cruelty.

3 Black and White Silhouettes

This work of fan art is a simple design that showcases the opposite forces of Belle and The Beast, as The Beast clings to his enchanted rose, and Belle searches the castle for answers. It is as if their love is a Yin and Yang dynamic.

2 A More Sinister Approach

Inspired by the drawing prompt for day three, this artist takes a more sinister approach to the witch’s magic.

While other works of art show the whimsical side to the magic rose, this artist chooses to portray the enchantment as a curse. It just goes to show that there are multiple perspectives and lenses of which to look at a situation.

1 Reaching For The Rose

This is a wonderful art piece that shows the inner humanity of the beast.

By drawing a human hand in the reflection of the glass, this artist shows that appearances not as they seem. While the character of the beast is a monster, there is a person inside of this who has emotions and is growing in his own humanity.
