Tattoo Designs for Women

Filed Under (Tattoo) by author on 09-06-2010

Tattoos are very personal and individual. They hold different meanings for everyone and normally have a lot of thought put into them. (unless its a drunken mistake and you can’t remember having it at all – not advisable!)

Tattoo designs for women are going to be quite different from a tattoo a man would probably choose.  Angel wings tattoos,
flower tattoos and cross tattoos are popular for women, small tattoos seem to be chosen over larger ones.  Butterfly tattoos are ever the favourite.

Arm tattoo design, shoulder arm tattoos and tattoo sleeve designs are very popular as are tribal arm tattoos with men. Shoulder tribal tattoos are very effective especially on a well toned body!

You can create your own or choose from the the ones offered at the tattoo parlour . Speak in length to your tattoo artist  beforehand regarding tattoo design whether it be a personally designed piece you are after, a tribal tattoo, a celtic tattoo or a dragon tattoo. If you want a tattoo of two different things eg a flower with a snake wrapped around it find separate pictures and ask the tattooist to make an unique tattoo design for you based on the pictures, don’t copy someone else – have a unique tattoo. The tattooist’s are artists and every artist wants to show off their unique designs .

What is your job and what social circles you mix in. You may want to show your tattoo to the world but something like a lower back tattoo or an ankle tattoo could be easily covered up if necessary.

If you have a design is it possible to see it on your body first, you may well decide to have it elsewhere or not at all!  Or choose to have a fake tattoo. The first thing people tend do when they enter a tattoo shop is to go to all the flash on the walls or in the books, instead of the artist’s personal portfolio. You may not find what you’re looking for in a tattoo in the portfolio, but it will definitely help you decide if you might want to be trying to find the exit door! And don’t be swayed by pretty pictures. Really look at the designs up close.

Its an idea to scrutinize the line work. The lines should be smooth and straight Are the circles perfect? Is the coloring bright and distinctive? Are the colours blended well giving even forms of shading, dimension, and depth?

Each artist works at his/her own pace.  Color, detail area of body coverage all determines how long a tattoo can take.

Large tattoos are done in sessions.  In general the tattooist will line it and wait for a period of time, probably around 7 days or so , until nearly healed .  This isn’t always the case and it depends on individual body metabolism and aftercare on the part of the client .

A good tattoo artist may not  generally tattoo on the same patch in consecutive days as this can affect the quality of the result .

All these are things to consider. Keep in mind that photos can be stolen from other artists . If you have the time to spend, watch the artist at work.  If your tattoo is very detailed make sure that your chosen tattooist is capable of  “fine lines”.

Make sure that they can do tattoos with with a lot of detail involved . With tattoos that involve writing this is also really important to the finished  result . You do not want any names to fade or the tattoo to “bleed” in the future so that the tattoo becomes hard to read . Don’t be shy to ask questions! Ask to see examples of the kind of tattoo you want.

Tattoo pain. Do Tattoos Hurt ? Yes – in varying degrees depending on where you have it.  Trust your instincts – not sure – leave it until you are!
