Lower Back Tattoo Designs Are the New Black For Women

There are many areas women prefer to have a tattoo design such as the ankle, foot, hip, shoulder, forearm and lower back. In the late 1990s, tattoo designs for lower back became very popular, especially for women.

Why Is This So?

It is sexy - plain and simple.

There is nothing more sensual than a man catching a glimpse of a tattoo on a woman's lower back. It is tantalising because depending on how big your tattoo design is, it can be partially concealed, thereby allowing a man's mind to wonder.

This is a huge advantage of selecting a tattoo design for lower back as it can be easily hidden behind clothing - if you so desire! So for women who are not permitted to have tattoos at work or want to hide them from their family, this is the perfect place.

Another reason why the lower back is so popular is because it is in a place so discreet that if you had a tattoo that meant something special between you and your partner, you can ensure the tattoo is for their eyes only.

Tattoo Designs For Lower Back - What's Popular?

There are many types of tattoo designs for lower back, including the popular tribal back tattoos. Also, rainbow tattoos are also gaining popularity among women. I have found that designs with wings such as angels, fairies, butterflies, dragonflies or creatures work really good. This is because the wings adapt nicely to the curves of the female anatomy.

Also popular are flowers, vines, hearts, Celtic and Zodiac tattoos.

If you want to create a unique effect and add depth to the symbolism and artistic beauty of the design, then a growing trend is to blend butterfly tattoos with other designs and symbols, such as tribal or Celtic designs. Another growing trend is to combine designs like tribal angel wing tattoo designs.

Advice On Getting Your Tattoo

Many people get too excited when they make the decision to get a tattoo that they rush off to the nearest tattoo shop. Choosing a tattoo artist should never be a spur of the moment decision. It is as important as choosing the actual tattoo design itself. You want to choose an artist that will do a great job in a safe manner.

However, choosing the right tattoo artist does involve several steps.

* The best way is by word of mouth.
* Make a list of the local tattoo shops near you, visit them one by one.
* Ask about the experience levels of the artists.
* Ask about their sterilization process.
* Ask to see portfolios of past work they have done.
* Do not be afraid to ask questions. These questions will give you an idea of their level of talent and skill.
* Get a feel for the employees and look around, friendly helpful workers and a nice environment are two things to look for when searching for a quality studio.

Once you get your new tattoo and it turns out perfect, you will thank yourself for taking the time to choose a tattoo artist that you liked and felt confident in.

Final Word Of Wisdom

A tattoo is for life, so a lot of thought and care must be considered before making the final decision as to which design to choose. Ask yourself is this the one you can live with for the rest of your life.
