Traditional Red Roses with Korean Script

This piece is a bold take on classic American traditional tattooing. Nicole Miller at Montana Tattoo Company created this symmetrical leg tattoo featuring vibrant red roses wrapped around Korean text.

The design honors traditional tattoo rules with its strong black outlines and solid color fills. The red pigment is saturated and clean, making the roses pop against the skin. The integrated script adds a deeply personal layer, transforming a classic motif into a custom piece.

It’s a great example of how traditional tattoos in Missoula can be both timeless and uniquely personal. Nicole built this piece to fit the body’s contours, ensuring it will age as well as it looks today.

The Work

This is American traditional work. The style demands precision, as shaky lines or uneven color are impossible to hide. The challenge here was balancing the bold roses with the fine details of the script.

Nicole used a limited palette of black, red, and gray wash. The solid reds required smooth, consistent packing, while the gray shading creates dimension in the petals and leaves. Every element is placed with intention for a balanced, legible composition.
