Gothic Dripping Rose Embroidery Design, Dark Tattoo Style Floral Pattern, Instant Download

Drew up this gothic dripping rose with a proper tattoo flash feel to it. The rose head sits up top in deep blood red with heavy black outlines, then theres these red drips falling off the bottom petals like the flower is bleeding. Underneath, the stem hangs down with three thorny stems splitting off and grey leaves that have those sharp pointed tips.

Colour count stays manageable at 4 threads. Black does the heavy outlining and shadow work, red fills the petals and drips, grey covers the leaves and a soft pale grey adds a bit of highlight inside the petals. Honestly the red and black combo is what sells the whole moody tattoo look.

Made this one for halloween month back in october but customers keep ordering it year round, mostly for band merch and dark cottagecore stuff. One customer stitched the big size on a denim jacket back and sent me a photo, looked unreal. Bobbin thread eats up alot on the largest size, about 48 feet. Wind a fresh bobbin before you start that one.

Five sizes from 3.49 inches wide up to 7.5 in width, with stitch counts between 14,993 and 35,158. The bigger sizes have alot of dense black fill so dont try this on light jersey, the fabric will pucker. Skip thin fabrics and stick to denim, twill, canvas, heavy cotton, or a quality fleece. Use a medium-weight cutaway stabiliser to keep it crisp through all that satin and tatami fill.

Slow the machine speed down a touch for the petal section, theres alot of thread direction changes packed in. Ill replace the file if anything goes wonky on your end. Drop me a chat if the file gives any trouble and Ill rework it.
