Tattoo Ideas For Girls

There’s nothing quite as sexy as a girl with a tattoo. The right tattoo on a girl can accentuate her feminine curves while at the same time showing that she is confident and self assured. The key to finding a great tattoo design is to choose something that is personal to you and that is scaled correctly for your body size and for where you are placing the design on your body. Here are some tattoo ideas for girls that should get you started on choosing a design that is going to work well for you.

Before you even start looking at tattoo ideas you should sit down and take a minute to write down some things that interest you or that have personal meaning for you. You can write down concrete things like “dragons” or “butterflies”, or you can write down more abstract concepts like “I want a tattoo that represents the change I am going through in my life right now”. Obviously those are just examples, but if you sit down and take a minute to think it out you should be able to come up with a decent sized list of ideas or concepts.

Once you’ve written some things down you can start browsing through flash galleries online or looking for pictures for tattoo ideas for girls. Keep your personality in mind when you are browsing as well. For instance, if you are soft and feminine, you may want to look for a tattoo that matches your personality. If you are more edgy you may want to look for a design to match. You’ll most likely be happier with your tattoo if you look for something that is a reflection of your style or attitude.

Keep in mind as well that most tattoo artists are happy to modify designs for you, so if you find a design that is almost right but not perfect you can always have the artist change it so it is ideal.

As far as where to get the tattoo on your body it pretty much comes down to personal taste. If you aren’t sure where you want to get the tattoo yet pay attention to pictures of other girls with tattoos and make note of any placements that really catch your eye. Keep in mind as well that tattoos can be used to play up parts of your body that you love or to downplay parts that you don’t depending upon their placement. Often times the right placement on the body can make all the difference in how good a tattoo looks so choose your location carefully.

Your tattoo artist should be able to advise you on the size of tattoo that you should get depending upon the body part that you are getting it on. If the tattoo is too big for the body part it can look awkward, and if it is too small it can get lost. However, your tattoo artist should be able to help you decide what size will look best.

Tattoos have grown in popularity over the past 10 years. The idea that tattoos are rebellious, shocking or reflect a girls moral character have dissolved. The popularity of tattoos has increased and so has their acceptance. This is due largely to an increase in celebrities happily sporting them. It is estimated that thirty six percent of those ages 18 to 25 have at least one tattoo and forty percent of people ages 26 to 40 have at least one tattoo. With that being said it is still true that more men than women have tattoos.

Tattoos for girls are typically more feminine in nature. They are generally smaller and more delicate with thinner lines and are usually isolated to one or two parts of the body. Almost like accessories or accent pieces. The most popular spot for girls to get tattoos are the lower back, left shoulder, ankle, upper breast or bikini area. The lower back is a popular spot because it is not always shown but can be flashed. The shoulder is also a sought after spot. The left shoulder is traditionally known as the feminine shoulder and a tattoo there can be a great accent when wearing tank tops or halter tops. Ankle tattoos are cute and many girls are now getting tattoos on the top of the foot or small delicate ones on their toes. They are a great accent when wearing sandals or flip-flops. Like the lower back tattoo, tattoos on the upper breast or bikini area can be hidden.

Some tattoo ideas for girls that are feminine and have a long history include: sun, flower, angel wings, fairy, star, butterfly, Celtic and Zodiac symbols, dolphin, rose, and heart. Although traditional, these tattoo ideas are always unique by meaning to the person wearing them, and most tattoo artists are happy to create a one-of-a-kind design.

Some women will have similar interests in tattoos ideas, but the majority will have differing views on what they like. With this being said there are some commonalities for tattoo ideas for girls as they will have more curves and be smaller on average than men are. You should combine a design with a location, as they will affect each other directly.

Here are a few popular body part tattoo locations.

There can be a similarity between body part tattoo ideas for girls and those for boys. There are however specific recommendations on body parts that on girls will look especially sexy.

Some places that girls love to put tattoos, and where they look really sexy, is a girls tattoo that is on the feet or ankle. The small tattoo designs look great on women’s small ankles and feet. The added benefit of a tattoo design in this location is that it is easy to show off with a pair of sandals or open footwear, it is also an easy location to cover up with some shoes and socks.

Another great place to consider when choosing a tattoo idea for a girl would be the inner wrist. On the underside of the writs, you can place a small discreet tattoo that a girl could “show off” when she wanted to draw some extra attention. This type of tattoo can also be covered up easily.

You should also consider, weather a women or a man, a tattoo on the arms or upper back as they both look great on either sex. The arms are a great place to but a full, half or even quarter tattoo sleeves. Both of these are easy to show off with a short shirt or something that is backless, on the flip they are also easy to cover up for a work type situation.

There are also some places to avoid for girls more so then men. You will want to avoid any places where the skin will sag over time, as this will distort your tattoos making them look awful. Some specific areas to avoid would be breast tattoos and stomach tattoos.
