What To Look For In Lower Back Tattoos For Women

Posted: Jul 27, 2009 |Comments: 0 | Views: 466 |

There is no denying the recent boom in tattoos, especially tattoos for the lower back.  You don't have to look very hard to see an example of one of  these tattoos.  The chances are someone you know well has got one.  Even though they are commonly found and have been subject to some negative publicity their popularity remains across the globe.

It is not difficult to see why these tattoos are still popular.  Many consider the placement and design of these tattoos attractive and sensual on a woman's body.  These tattoos draw attention to the curves of a woman's waist and behind.  A tattoo is this position could make a woman feel more sexually empowered and improve her confidence.

Lower back tattoo designs are designed and shaped to flatter this area of the body.  Designs usually narrow towards the bottom of the design to flatter womanly curves and draw your eye down.  Tribal designs are perhaps the most common lower back tattoo design and their bold lines make a big impact.  In keeping with the theme of femininity and sexuality, many opt for feminine designs with soft lines.  Flowers, hearts, stars and ribbons are also commonly asked for in this region.  


As mentioned above, the surge in popularity of lower back tattoos for women and been accompanied, as it often the case, by negative press.   Women who got tattoos in this area were subject to judgements concerning 'loose morals' associated with this type of tattoo.  They have even developed their own nicknames, 'tramp-stamp' and 'slag-tag', are just two delightful aliases these tattoos go by.

It is, of course, ridiculous to suggest that there is any connection between lower back tattoos and loose morals.  It just seems to be that the sheer popularity of these tattoos goes against them.  Tattoos are often thought of as an expression of personality and a personal art form.  I hazard a guess that the negative publicity received by these tattoos is more down to their lack of originality than the personality traits of the wearer.

Despite this bad press, lower back tattoos for women do not show any sign of falling out of favour anytime soon.  In fact, a close personal friend of mine who happens to be an amazing (and very busy!) tattoo artist.  He tells me that due to the bad reputation these tattoos and the similarity of many lower back tattoo designs is causing women to have more unique designs tattooed over the top of the original.  If you find a good tattooist he or she should be able to cover your tattoo completely beyond recognition.  To do this, go and see your tattooist.  They will look at your existing tattoo and tailor your design ideas to fit around your existing tattoo.  This is to ensure the best possible job.  After all, it is going to be a lot more difficult to cover it up a second time.
