Girl Tattoo

 It seems as if it took me FOREVER to find my perfect girl tattoo!  Something that had symbolization and meaning, yet was also FEMININE !  Basically i was looking for something symbollizing both strength and feminimity.  Not easy to find so i had thought!  I went from parlor to parlor, looked at catalogues and books.. Finally i came across this sweeeet-ass online catalogue which i'll list below and that really nailed down the design i wanted (actually it was still hard because there were like 4 different ones i fell in love with from this book!  i've decided to actually get all of them over the course of the next 3-4 years! Just trying to figure out which one to get first!)  But what also helped in my decision is my friends original article which i have listed below with his permission.  Give it a read and also be sure to sign up for this killer catalogue below!!!

PRO'S AND CON'S OF GETTING A TYPICAL GIRL TATTOO 

Getting a girl tattoo involves deciding not only what design to choose, where to place it, but also how both of those elements combined can embrace ones own femaleness and personality. I'll focus here on the placement of a girl back tattoo.

Where to get a girl tattoo? The most common placement for a girl tattoo has been in the center lower back area, right above, or even in line with, the waist line. With low cut jeans being the latest fad, and tight tees that hike up above the belly button, the lower center area has been an ideal place to display your girl tattoo.

Pro's of getting a "low-center" back girl tattoo:

-Displaying is ideal with todays clothing trend. The tattoo is both slightly subtle and yet very noticeable when one does see it. For instance many males have gotten "reverse forearm" tattoos in which their tattoo is placed on the underside of the forearm as opposed to the front, more noticeable area. This is both slightly subtle, as first glance you may not see it, but also its not hidden and very visible once one visually zero's in on it. A back girl  tattoo placed in the low center area has the same advantages.

Con's of getting a "low-center" back girl tattoo:

-It's unoriginal. Unfortunately the ''lower center" back girl tattoo has been heavily played out. Many girls have followed the trend, and hence it has become more of a fad than an original idea for placement. Tattoos as a whole have become so common that it remains a struggle to find original angles to approach when it comes to both design and placement. Slang terms such as "tramp stamp" have begun to emerge for females donning a girl back tattoo in the low-center area. Some have said in 40 years that slang term will be replaced by "gramp stamp" playing on the notion that the plethora of elderly women who will still be donning the permanent girl back tattoo art in their later years. The popularity and common placement of lower center back girl tattoo lends itself to this type of slang creation.

-Another obvious disadvantage with a low center back girl tattoo is the fact that you are unable to visually see your tattoo, unless you look in a mirror. This is of course the case with all back tattoo's, and if one would like to view their body art frequently, without a mirror, they should consider placement elsewhere.

Possible alternatives:

-If one is absolutely dead set on the low center back girl tattoo, believes that area of permanent placement is right for them, and is content within themselves to rise above slang labels and such, then they should go for it. Other options could include a more unique lower back placement, such as off to one side, or even on the side of the body above the hips. This enables the individual to view their tattoo without the assistance of a mirror. Naturally five years from now a trend could emerge for side hip tattoos, but for now it remains a not very common placement area, and an alternative area for a typical girl tattoo.

-Another option for the low center back girl tattoo, is to choose a design that is more mural-like, as opposed to a single object like a butterfly or rose. This somewhat lifts you out of the common trend of the single girl tattoo placed low and center back. And the potentiality exists for stretching the design across the back, instead of just centered in the middle.

Whatever you do choose as the placement for your girl tattoo, it ultimately should be one you are able to be happy with both in the short term and the long term. No matter where you choose your placement area, a good, unique, design can make a huge difference and in any event it's always worth researching to find the right one for you. One that in your eyes would look good no matter where you decide to place it.
