When you’ve been all around a few galleries, download the ones that you prefer, a few choices, take them along to a tattoo parlour and ask the tattooist for their opinion. Also take a peek at their own collection, and ask the tattooist their thoughts on what is best for your body.

Sexy Girly Tattoo Designs You Will Adore

Thursday, October 9th, 2008

For a long time, it was considered taboo for a woman to get a tattoo. Even men that got tattoos often covered them up, which kind of defeated the object of getting one in the first place!

Since then however, times have changed and a tattoo is no longer something to be ashamed of; on the contrary, more and more women every day are getting tattoos and showing them off with pride.

There are a variety of tattoo designs that have become very popular these days amongst women. First up there is the lower back tattoo. Though at first thought this might just seem like a location, a lower back tattoo truly is a design in and of itself. The lower back is a great place for a tattoo because it’s relatively flat and a lot of detail can be added.

Lower back tattoos serve to accentuate and draw attention to a woman’s curves. Common lower back designs include stars, butterflies, vines, birds, flowers, fish, and snakes. All of these can feature into a design that nestles right along your lower spine to great effect.

Ankle tattoos are also very popular amongst women. Ankle tattoos are similar to lower back tattoos in that they are easy to conceal if need be, but different in that they are generally much smaller, therefore less expensive and less intimidating to someone who has never had a tattoo before. Ankle tattoos became popular in the 90s and add a touch of beauty to the curve of the lower calf, as well as elongating the legs and slimming the ankles.

Ankle tattoos can simulate jewelry or take on a variety of designs, such as tribal bands, vines, fish, stars, butterflies, or birds. Any of these designs can go around the ankle or just be in the vicinity.

If you are ready to go the whole hog and get a full back tattoo, you have many options. The most popular by far amongst women is the big angel wings that seem to sprout from the shoulder blades. These white-feathered wings are truly striking when done well. There are other designs on the wing idea, such as devil wings or tattered angel wings.

Apart from the wing theme, some women have also been getting more gothic-themed designs on their back, such as stitching or other gory designs.

As far as designs that can go anywhere, there are many popular recurring themes amongst women, such as fairies, dolphins, angels, crosses, shells, flowers, butterflies, birds, stars, fish, snakes, and tribal designs.

If you have an inkling (no pun intended…) of what you want, but can’t come up with the details, look around at some tattoo studios or go online and look for flower tattoo designs. Quite often, you will be able to take your design and get ideas from other people and mix the two to great effect.

The best thing you can do if you’re looking for a sexy design that accentuates your femininity and personality is to look inside yourself and try and come up with things that define you.

These are the sort of ideas that will lead you to your perfect tattoo.

The Best Way To Design Your Own Tattoo

Many people like the way tattoos look on others and want one for themselves, but have no idea what they want. It’s a pretty big decision; chances are this is something you’ll have to live with for the rest of your life.

So how do you find “the one”?

Quite often these days, more and more people are referring to the internet to find their pictures of tattoos. Recently, this has allowed more choices of tattoos that are unique to an individual.  

Another place people can find tattoo ideas are the tattoo artists’ design books, usually found lying around their studio or hanging on the studio walls.  Unfortunately, a lot of tattoo artists don’t update their collections often, which leads to the same design getting tattooed on many people over and over again.

So how do you make sure that you have a one-of-a-kind tattoo found nowhere else?

One way to go about this is to get a tattoo pack. These packs come stuffed with dozens of completely original tattoo designs, but you do have to pay for them (though it is usually nominal). The best thing about tattoo packs is that they are guaranteed to be completely original and unique. Chances are, you won’t find many of the designs within the pack anywhere else, making your tattoo truly special. It’s also easy to pick out a tattoo pack, as they are organized with themes that appeal to different people.

For those who are truly imaginative, you can make an effort to sit down and design your own tattoo, try to come up with things that mean something to you; something that you feel like you’ll never regret. One great idea is to explore your family’s past and incorporate themes from your heritage into your design. If you are of Germanic heritage, for instance, you could try some Teutonic symbols or the like.

For people of Celtic heritage, Celtic designs are very popular for people of any descent these days and are therefore easy to find. It’s also great if you can design your own tattoo; tattoo artists are more than happy to look at the design you created sitting at the kitchen table and transfer it to your skin.

In the end, the best way to come up with an idea for a tattoo is to look inside yourself. Don’t draw on things that could change suddenly (jobs, boy/girlfriends, cars, etc.), find something that is a part of your very being and try to come up with something related to that. A design related to your heritage is great, for example, because your heritage can never change; it is a part of every cell in your body.

If you can come up with something along those lines, you should have no trouble coming up with a unique tattoo design that you will be happy with for the rest of your life.
