Orchid Flower Lower Back Tattoo

Orchid Flower Lower Back Tattoo

Lower back tattoos have been steadily growing in popularity since the early 1990's. But since the millenium the growth in the number of these tattoos has been explosive.

And part of the reason for this surge in popularity is the general growth in the number of women who are getting tattoos. Lower back tattoos are almost exclusively worn by women and the fact that women account for an estimated 65% of all new tattoos goes part of the way to explain this modern trend.

Beyond that, tattoos placed on the lower back are widely regarded as a symbol of a highly sensual woman. Careful choice of design can help to highlight the curves of the female body, from the curve of the lower spine, to the hips and the top of the buttocks. And as such, placement of tattoos on this area of the body has become a way for women to celebrate their curves and express their sexuality.

But apart from the sensual aspect of these designs, there are many advantages of placing a tattoo on the lower back.

1) Long Lasting

The skin around the lower back is less likely to stretch in the event of weight gain, whether due to normal weight fluctuations or pregnancy. This is a major advantage as it reduces the risk of tattoo designs (especially symmetrical designs commonly used for lower back tattoos) becoming distorted and stretched.

2) Visually Flexible

Lower back tattoos are also extremely flexible in terms of visibility. A revealing top or low cut trousers will help to display the design to the world, while a quick change to more formal attire will easily conceal the wilder side of your personality. This flexibility is an important consideration for people who have to present a more sombre appearance in their professional lives.

3) Highly Personal

A lower back tattoo is a highly personal piece of body art. Not only does it sit on a semi-intimate part of your body, the design can be created to match the shape, size and flow of your curves. This helps to reflect your individuality and greatly increases the chances of ending up with a design that's completely unique.

4) Wide Choice Of Designs

There's a wide range of designs that can be incorporated into a lower back tattoo. For example, you could select a celtic design, or go for a floral motif, or how about a tribal design. In fact, almost any v-shaped, symmetrical design can be used, so the options are virtually endless. This allows you to search for a design that's full of personal meaning and expresses part of your personality.

For example, as the lower back is a recognized chakra point, it's closely connected with the flow of spiritual energy. So a tattoo that consists of energy radiating from the design represents someone who is full of energy and vitality. Alternatively, a floral lower back design is a sign of beauty and fertility.

However, this location for tattoo placement carries one major disadvantage. The lower back is generally recognized as one of the most painful areas of the body to have tattooed. Fortunately, women are better at tolerating pain and discomfort.

Yes, it's official, most women have a higher pain threshold. According to numerous tattoo artists, women are much better than men when it comes to dealing with the pain of getting tattooed. Nobody knows why.

It could be due to gender based expectations. Men like to think that they're macho and can withstand pain. This rather cavalier attitude causes them to underestimate the pain level and pass out as soon as the needle touches their skin.

On the other hand, women tend to anticipate the pain more accurately, helping them to avoid nasty surprises and maintain a higher level of tolerance.

And finally, while lower back tattoos are now widely accepted in many parts of the world, there are still some places and communities where they're regarded as a symbol of promiscuity and low morals.

Although this is a rather minor issue for most people, it's worth bearing in mind if you live in a particularly narrow minded part of the world or are overly concerned with what other people think of you.

Ultimately, your choice of tattoo design and placement is up to you. All that matters is that you find a combination which makes you feel good and has the ability to stand the test of time.

New Design Celtic Tattoo 2009

New Design Celtic Tattoo 2009

Celtic tattoos have survived the millenniums as a symbol of pride and tradition. Since the first Romans saw that tattoos adorned on the body of dead Celtic warriors, there has been a fascination about the tattoos and how the body art both inspired the warriors into battle and how they made the connection between tribe and clan. Today Celtic tattoos have regained their popularity and have hit the tattoo world like a hurricane. People are clamoring to have the Celtic tattoo to be apart of their body are collection and seemingly want to know the connection to the honor and loyalty of a civilization past.

When picking out a Celtic tattoo there are many designs in which to choose from. You have to consider the area of body you want to place the tattoo in order to make it more appealing to the eye of the beholder. The length and width of the tattoo should show some symmetry to the body area where you wish to apply the art. For example a woman with skinny ankles would not want the person looking at her to be attracted to her flaw. Instead she might decide to put the tattoo around her calve in order to draw attention to a body part more pleasant. Other reasons to choose the tattoo to fit your body part are the intricacy of the design. A very intricate design takes a steady hand for the tattoo artist and a proper canvas, your body, to get the job done right.

A popular tattoo that is drawn from European beginnings is the Celtic cross tattoo. Appearing around the 8th to 11th centuries, the Celtic tattoo represented a cross. The cross is decorated with an intricate knot pattern that flows within the cross with no evidence of a beginning and end. The Celtic cross is presumed to have Christian religion backgrounds, but it is presumed by some acadamians that the Celtic tattoo had more pagan backgrounds. Pagan means that it is not Christian and should not be confused with Satanism or other dark arts. Whether Christian or pagan, the Celtic tattoo that is shaped like a cross is one of the most popular Celtic tattoos today.

There are other Celtic tattoos that have different shapes and meanings to their form and most can be found at a tattoo artist that specializes in Celtic tattoo art. The artwork and intricacy of the knot pattern can make this an expensive tattoo and you would want to make sure that the artist was credible when negotiating a price. Selecting and wearing a Celtic tattoo is a life choice and you must be able to make sure the design you choose will last and that you will be happy with your choice in years to come. Whether it is for religious or historical reasons or you want to show the pride of your heritage, a Celtic tattoo is a symbol of honor. Don’t just rush to your local tattoo shop and pick out a Celtic tattoo that looks good. Research the history and when that ink meets the skin you know you will be following the tradition of a true warrior nation.

Amazing Star Tattoo Upper Back

What better way to express yourself in the hippest way probable than through body art as well as tattoos? Of all the modes of cool body decorations, tattooing is probably one of the most typical. The knack of tattooing has been applied since the olden times. Its purposes then varied from self-expression to body ornamentation to protection of self from bad spirits and usher in good luck. In present times, purposes for having tattoos aren't that varied. Cross tattoos, for example, for instance, can serve as a religious tattoo or it may merely be a design the wearer picked to decorate himself with.

Permanent tattoo designs vary depending on tradition, religious affiliations, gender, or personal tastes as well as selections. Dragon tattoos are more common among Asians since Western tradition do not worship the dragon symbol as much as Asians do. Nevertheless, Westerners now appear to appreciate dragon motifs, and it is fast becoming one of the more famous tattoo art. Fairies and flower tattoo designs, meanwhile, are generally selected by females and the effeminates instead of guys. Yet a lot of tattoo ideas go beyond sex. Flower tattoos, tribal, sun and star tattoos are only a couple of the many tattoo designs that's so popular among girls and boys alike.

Different tattoos have various implications for various people. Religious tattoo forms like the popular Celtic cross tattoos, praying hands, birds, as well as other holy emblems and figures are just among the few. Sun tattoos along with other forms could also have religious meanings depending on what the wearer believes in. Others will select to have symbols representing something about their ideology, while a number may opt to have words and phrases written in olden text with definitions that go beyond body ornamentation.

Other tattoo designs possess a deeper, more complicated meaning. Some tattoos are predestined to bring in good tidings, shoo away bad spirits, or something that has relevance with the wearer's cultural as well as family history. Irish tattoo designs such as four-leaf clovers, the Irish cross, shamrock, and a lot more are related with luck as well as good fortune; while tribal designs such as the more common tribal sun tattoos could be a traditional thing. Dolphin tattoo fashions, another perennial favorite, while they could be identified as a Celtic design, are also known as a Chinese yin-yang symbol portraying harmony as well as balance.

But the art of tattooing is not only for the religious persons or those who give significance to their culture, beliefs, and family background. Fashion along with pop culture are the surviving reasons behind the current popularity of body art. Fairy tattoos, rose tattoos, animal and tribal tattoos among others are quite typical today. They may not mean anything to the person but they certainly are lovely accessories which, simultaneously, reveal their taste in fashion and their personality to the others. A delicate design such a tiny bunny on the shoulder or the grandious design on the lower back can speak so much. Tattooing is one of the greatest modes of self-expression; it also connotes freedom.
