A girl tattoo design differs greatly from men's designs. With women's tattoo, you can't just pick a design based solely on your personal preference. The first thing you have to look into is the tattoo meaning. A tattoo may look cool, cute or exquisite but you wouldn't want to get stuck with a tattoo that isn't significant to you. In worse cases, some people get stuck with tattoos that have negative meanings. Here are some designs that you might want to consider:
- Floral designs typically symbolize femininity. You should be careful though because different flowers may have different meanings. Roses for example can have a variety of significances ranging from love to infidelity depending on the flower color.
- Stars are also common designs for females. They can however also carry a variety of meanings. Nautical stars typically give off the message of purpose and direction or the love for the sea. Other star designs are simply reflective of childish fantasies or hopes and wishes.
- Tribal designs would look perfect on the lower back. A horizontal swirl of tribal designs can accentuate the sexy curves of a woman's back. Be careful though. Some tribal designs are created by artists with no particular meaning. Others however are taken from real tribes like the Maori, Polynesian and Native American tribes. Your girl tattoo design may carry a particular tribal significance that you may not be aware of.
- There are also tattoo designs with more obvious meanings. Angels and crosses for example could communicate religious faith.
- Characters from foreign alphabets are quite popular. You can have a Japanese or Chinese character that stands for love, friendship, power and many more. It is very important though that you get artists who can really read these characters. You can also opt for translators who can help you with making the design. It is not uncommon for foreign characters to have a few missing parts here and there and end up meaning something else.
- Animal designs can also be for females. Sleek felines like a puma, cheetah or leopard would look great on women who want to exude strength and empowerment. Butterflies however are an absolute favorite due to their delicate features.
- Fantasy designs for women's tattoo have also been around for ages. They seem to have become even more popular these days because of famous fantasy shows and movies. Typical fantasy designs are fairies and unicorns. Other designs however may carry a more powerful meaning. The phoenix for example almost always means rebirth and rising from the ashes again.
- You can also customize a design. Some artists would be more than willing to come up with designs that stem from your own personal experience. A personal code between you and a significant other and the face of your baby are some examples. This is the safest tattoo design option because you are sure of what it means. On the other hand, a tattoo artist may charge extra for the design. Making the design may also take some time.
A girl tattoo design would become more meaningful if you choose it yourself. It is important to remember though that you should know exactly why you would want a particular design. The significance of your tattoo matters a lot. It contributes to the impact of your tattoo.

How Do I Care For Sunburn on My New Tat
By: ali | 21-07-2008
I got my tattoo two days ago and wasn't really out in the sun at all. I am pretty sure the sun exposure that I did get was from being in the car and having the rays hit my arm. Today, I left to go the gym and by the time I got there, my arm was beet red where the tat is and it still is. It feels awful and I'm just not sure what to do. I didn't sit out in the sun or even stand outside for more than a minute while putting stuff in the car. Someone tell me something! Thanks-ali
