Female Tattoos

Female tattoos used to be very rare with very few women having them done, but nowadays they are much more socially acceptable. Indeed they are now extremely fashionable, in no small part due to many high-profile celebrities such as Angelina Jolie, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Penelope Cruz and Victoria Beckham deciding to have them done.

Tattoos are no longer the preserve of men. Nowadays they are just as popular with women and are widely regarded as being sexy and attractive. They act as a great way to show off a women's personality and character traits, whilst at the same time looking cute and attractive.

Tattoo designs for women often differ from those found on men because they are generally quite small and attractive. It's rare to find a big bold tattoo on a women and when you do it often looks out of place or inappropriate.

Because female tattoos are often quite small, they are ideally suited to particular parts of the body such as the ankle, foot, hip, shoulder, upper arm and wrist. They also look great on the lower back and back of the neck.

There are many types of tattoo design that are popular with women. There are the classic female tattoo designs such as butterflies, fairies, flowers and hearts, as well as more fashionable designs such as dragonflies, dolphins, stars and zodiac designs. Also women are now being drawn more and more to Celtic and other tribal designs, which have long been seen as being traditionally male tattoo designs.

The important thing to remember is that a tattoo is for life so try and avoid tattoos that could well turn out to be a passing fad. The last thing you want is to be stuck with a tattoo that looks out of place and seriously uncool in a few years time.

For the very best female tattoo designs I strongly recommend paying a small one-off fee to either Chopper Tattoo or Tattoo Me Now. Both of these excellent sites have thousands of top quality designs to choose from, many of which have been submitted by some of the top tattoo artists from around the world, so they are obviously top quality designs, and certainly a lot better than those found on many of the free tattoo galleries.
