Tristesse
This is a collection of all tattoo designs from the Tristesse flash sheet by Rotteridder. The series shows us the unconventionalities of everyday life - learning to take the bad with the good. Tristesse is about pure emotion.
All these designs come from the heart - with a matching poem - to enhance the experience. Indulge here, or read them on every product page in the tattoo flash book.
WASTED CIGARETTE
Hey babe, can I join you for a smoke?
- Didn't think so, love.
- Dips cigarette violently.
TEARS
???
WE NEED TO TALK
I was too afraid to hurt you. So here, I wrote you a letter.

I'm a poem. But I'm still ripening in the mind of Rotteridder. It's cosy here.
ALMOST THERE
I know it's unusual.
It might be just a thought.
But while lying bed to back.
My phone looks more appealing,
when it's completely
stained in black.
PAS TOUJOURS
Excusez-moi, cherie.
J'ai jamais dit toujours.
ODD ONE OUT
But which door does it open?
???
I'm a poem. But I'm still ripening in the mind of Rotteridder. It's cosy here.
ROUGH MORNINGS

RAIN ON SUNDAYS
Friday, last night.
I ordered my swimsuit.
Within 24 hours delivery.
Ready to bathe in sunday's rays.
Lied to,
under a grey floof
of your cottonball candy.
UNFAMILIAR
Under the illusion of a lie.
To sit beneath
the shadows
now retreat.
I didn't go.
To rendez-vous
the stranger
incomplete.
???
I'm a poem. But I'm still ripening in the mind of Rotteridder. It's cosy here.
