The traditional image of tattoos is of inked-up pirates pillaging ships and ports, dazing the locals with their blurry anchor tattoos. Well, at least, that’s the image one of my friend’s daughters used to have!

Indeed, throughout history, women have decorated themselves with an array of materials, including inks. As such, if you’re female and want a tattoo, go for it (assuming you’re of age!).
One thing I love about tattoos is the contrast and juxtaposition they provide. A muscle-bound man can experience the sensation of having a tattoo inked on his skin, yet such tattoo could be a teddy bear! Likewise, women are free to choose whichever sort of tattoo they want, whether it be a more traditional tattoo, or a more feminine one.
If you’re considering having a lower back tattoo, it’s worth considering some of the feminine tattoo designs out there. There are so many to choose from; one for everyone! The small of our back is a very sensuous, delicate area, and an area which is supposed to be the centre of our feminine creative energy. As such, being tattooed with a correspondingly feminine design would be quite a good idea. If you choose a tattoo which is curved and which matches the flow of your hips, you’re also almost guaranteed to reduce the relative size of your hips (a place all of us would perhaps like to be reduced!).
There are so many feminine tattoo designs to choose from. Off the top of my head, there are flowers (lotus, roses, bluebells, to name just three), butterflies (whether regular species or fantastical versions), fairies, tribal shapes, etc. There will definitely be one that you fall in love with!
