This tattoo depicts two roses - one black and one white - coming together to cross at their stems. The choice of color as black and white creates a visually stark contrast: almost suggesting an antithetical and oppugnant relationship; however, the consistency in form and fragrance shows us that they are essentially identical, despite their obverse external characteristics. Both roses share the same delicate swirling petals, long stems, and oval leaflets; both roses emit a pleasant floral scent, providing those around them with aesthetic pleasure and inspiration. This revelation serves to symbolize the inherent equality, dignity, and value of all human beings that transcends disparities in what can only be seen with the eye. The contrasting yet comparing effect of this juxtaposition in color accentuates the arbitrary divisions created and further exacerbated by society based on superficial characteristics; however, their shared qualities emphasize the common humanity that binds us all, conveying that discrimination is both irrational and baseless. The flowers cross at the stems to show that, in our heart, or our core, we all intersect and originate from the same essence. This imagery serves as a powerful reminder that despite our extrinsic dissimilitude, whether those be due to factors of our identity such as ethnicity, age, gender, or disability, we share the same intrinsic value and deserve equal respect and treatment. This tattoo encapsulates the notion that our fundamental humanity binds us together, shedding light onto the unity which extends across all humanity beneath the surface of our apparent dissimilarities.
