When you’re on the cusp of narrowing down all of the lower back tattoo designs that appeal to you, you should make sure that you’ve also considered the traditional tattoo designs (better known as the ‘old school tattoo designs’).
Sure, some people love the new tribal symbol they’ve just created, but what about the tattoos that have stood the test of time? Surely, the old school tattoo designs are old school and still around because they are popular?
Obviously, not all of the old school designs will be appropriate for your lower back. Let’s take an obvious example like a skull.
Many thousands of people have been inked on their arms, shoulders, chests and upper backs with skulls, but a big skull in the middle of your lower back may not be the best choice unless that’s exactly what you’re after (and who am I to question that?).
If you’re set on skulls, how about a procession of tiny skulls marching across your lower back in a sweeping and symmetrical arch? How about having each of those skulls with a slightly different facial expression? Are they all black or are some colored?
A couple of excellent old school designs that would be good choices for your lower back (without many changes) are barbed wire and rose stems. They could be gently curving around the small of your back and caress the top of your butt. The barbed wire would be in great contrast to the femininity of its placing, and rose stems would be an excellent way to accentuate femininity, but accompany it with some less vulerable notes. After all, what woman is vulnerable all of the time?
What I’m getting at is that you can seek inspiration from the old school designs and make them into something more unique for you. Now go have some fun!
