Lower Back Tattoo Designs - What's Sexy Now - How to Get a Sexy and Classy Feminine Tattoo Design

You have probably noticed by now unless you have been living in a cave the huge trend of women getting lower back tattoos. It really started about 10 years ago or so. As tattoos became more and more mainstream women started getting much larger tattoos then ever before. This lead to a huge trend in women getting tattoo on their lower back. At first this was a new thing and very cool to do. Mostly typically women were getting tribal lower back tattoo designs inked. However, this trend grew so fast and so popular that their has been some backlash for lower back tattoos. A lot of women still really love them and still want to get one. So if you are still looking for a such a tattoo and now sure what to get or how to stand out form the crowd and get something that is unique and different then keep reading.

The Lower Back Tattoo Backlash

That's right it became to popular too fast to put some tribal ink on your lower back area right above the waistline of your pants. Just about any guy will agree it is a very sensual area and the whole low rise jeans and shorter tops just fueled this trend over the last 5 to 10 years. Yet as mentioned above there has been some backlash. These have been called tramp stamps or a California License plate. Some have even gone as far as calling them butt antlers. Most tattoo artists are pretty sick of tattooing women in this area. Of course they tattoo for a living and they will do that tattoo if you pay but they have done these tattoos so much they are getting tired of it also.

So does this mean there is no way you should even think about getting a lower back tattoo? Some people might say so. The decision really has to be made by you. If you are still wanting to get a lower back tattoo because you always wanted one or you have some design already in your mind that works perfectly there then you should go for it. That is the thing about tattoos you should never let what other people think hold you back from the tattoo you want. Here are some things to consider to help you get a great lower back tattoo design.

Size And Shape

A really important aspect of the lower back tattoo is the size and shape of the design and fitting it perfectly with the size and shape of the area where the tattoo will go. Rectangular tattoos that are longer then tall work very well in this area and also ones with sort of a triangle shape to them that make an arrow pointing downwards tend to fill this space best.

What Not To Get

Of course the choice is up to you and you should always get that tattoo that you want and not because someone else thinks you should or shouldn't get it. However you might want to stay away from simple tribal designs and also butterflies. Butterflies and tribal designs are still very popular and can look great however you might shy away from putting them on your lower back. Instead pick the front hip area, a shoulder or foot to do these designs on.

What To Get

Instead of doing the butterfly and tribal designs instead try and think of something different and unique. Maybe some koi fish splashing in the water. A cherry blossom would work very well in this area also. Cute feminine themes like hello kitty or even a cute feminine sugar skull might work really well. The choice of course has to be up to you but the idea here is to stay away from the old tribal design and do something different. Take a design and do something completely different with the colors. A pair of brass knuckles with some flower around it would work. There are so many ideas and it truly depends on what you want to express about yourself. Try and find something that is different and unique about you and a design that speaks to you.

The Only Limitation For Lower Back Tattoo Designs is Your Imagination

I think that tattoos are one of the best ways someone can express themselves. Tattoos are an art form that is meaningful, sophisticated and deeply creative. It is a way for people to give tribute to the people or things that hold a special meaning for them. Or a way to capture that special event or significant time to them.

One of the most popular locations for women to place a tattoo is on the lower back. And these lower back tattoo designs can be placed to the side or right smack in the middle of the back. They also can come in various sizes. From very small to quite larger ones that can spread from side to side all across the lower back.

Now any design is absolutely OK for the lower back. In the past, the more popular ones were often Celtic or Tribal. While those lower back tattoo designs are still prominent and attractive. There are certainly other designs to choose from these days.

However, I urge you not to rush through the process of choosing the right lower back tattoo design for you. Please take your time and think about what tattoo design has the most significance and deeper meaning for you because let's face it, it is going to be a permanent body art. But you don't have to choose a traditional design if you don't want to. The final choice is yours so be absolutely sure the final design is the one you want.

Now, many women are choosing from a wider variety of tattoo designs these days for their lower back. They can be of animals such as a bird perched on a limb to a bird that is in glorious flight of freedom. Some girls like to have tattoos of insects that look like they are crawling out from her waistline. There are Koi fish, butterflies, and other pets or animals.

And be sure to go to a good tattoo artist. One that can add personal detailings and styling that makes your tattoo "sing." A great tattoo artist can make your animal look alive and very realistic. Some people may prefer their tattoos look a little more cartoonish. But really, the ultimate judge that should decide what tattoo looks best on you is... you!

How about words? Many famous Hollywood starlets have just words tattooed on their body. And it is quickly becoming more popular as lower back tattoo designs. And no wonder, the lower back is a flat canvas that you can write special words and meanings. Many times you can even add some art to the words to give it that extra special pizazz.

Don't forget to consider symbols too. Symbols like moons, hearts, stars, religious symbols and peace symbols are just perfect for the lower back tattoo designs. A lot of women love flowers because they symbolize love, romance and feminine. And flowers would look fantastic on the lower back but really, flowers would look great anywhere on your body. But you don't need to limit yourself to flowers of course!

Other tattoo designs to consider for your lower back can be of nature itself that has a special meaning. Such as leaves, acorns, snowflakes, pine cones or even a dragon-fly perching on a single blade of grass. I have seen wonderful and awe-aspiring images of nature such as rivers, lakes, forests and mountains spread across the lower back.

There are many places to look for that perfect design for your lower back. You could go to your local tattoo studio and check their portfolios. Or you could continue looking on the Internet. Many people have a general idea what they would like and then describe it to their favorite tattoo design artist who of course is a naturally talented artist that can draw it down so you can look at it for approval.

But like I always say, please choose the tattoo design wisely. Also it is really a very good idea to get the best tattoo artist that you can. A cheaper one may give you a lifetime of regrets. And good to great tattoo artists won't be shy about their talents and will show you their portfolio upon request. After all, they want you to be confident in their abilities and that is the best way to determine that. Are the pictures, images and other tattoo designs by that artist very good? Chances are then you found someone that you would like to draw that canvas on your lower back.

And of course, always make sure your tattoo designer is up to date on the latest policies on sterilization of equipment. How the needles and ink are dispensed and used. And if there is anything that makes you feel uncomfortable, then listen to your feelings and find another studio and artist.

Lower back tattoo designs are very personal and usually hold special meanings to the wearer. You should treat the whole process very seriously because once that tattoo design goes on your lower back, it can be very hard and expensive to get it off if you changed your mind later on. So make your tattoo design a good one. One that you absolutely love and adore and wouldn't hesitate to show off to your lover and close friends. A great tattoo design is one that is very meaningful to you and is a perfect expression of who you are. And besides, lower back tattoos are very sexy!
