Most butterfly tattoos have a high level of detail so that the attractive nature of the design and the intricate details of the design can match the loveliness of the butterflies that are found in the wild.

Different Varieties Of Butterfly Tattoos

Butterfly tattoos are easily customized by using a wide variety of different methods. The wings are typically the focus of the tattoo and are designed using a lovely pattern to create a unique look that is meaningful to the person. The pattern that is included on the wings can be adjusted in any way that the person wishes and can include symbols, initials, or small zodiac signs in the pattern of the wings.

Butterfly tattoos can also be designed in any colors that the person wishes which allows the person to customize the tattoo in ways that contain their favorite colors or follows a specific pattern. Some colors complement each other better than others, so the person should be choosing the main color of the wings, then picking what colors will accompany the main color to create the pattern. Most credible tattoo artists have done hundreds of butterfly tattoos in their careers and can help choose the best design and colors for the tattoo.

One reason for the popularity of butterfly tattoos among women is that they can be tattooed on the body anywhere and still be an attractive piece of body art.

Female Back and Side Tattoos

By now you have for sure seen the huge trend and the quickly dying trend I might add of lower back tattoo designs. Throughout the 90′s the lower back tattoo was synonymous with sexy and women were getting them like there was no tomorrow. However, as more and more women got them it started to become clear that it was passing the point of cool and starting to get over done. However, those who jumped early still have bragging rights and can proudly say hey I got my lower back tattoo done in 1991 before they were popular. At any rate the life of the lower back tattoo has pretty much come and gone.

Of course tattooing is always something that is individual and unique to each person or at least at its best moments it should be that way. So in other words if you still really want to get a lower back tattoo the by all means you should because that is what tattooing is all about self expression.

However, if you are looking for the alternatives to a lower back tattoo design that are still hot, sexy and feminine then here are two trends that are currently growing and seem to be making a name for themselves. Just based on search engine traffic you can see that these two types of designs are getting very popular very fast.

Female Back Tattoos

Of course this is not the lower back tattoo design hat I spoke of above bu t the new cooler sleeker cousin of the lower back design. This is the full back or even the upper back tattoo design for women. There are lot of new feminine and sexy designs coming out now for the upper and full back tattoos. Lots of women are choosing to get these done. Typically the only major different between the two is a commitment of money and time. A full back piece takes much longer and will be more expensive to design and ink. However, like the lower back cousin it covers the back area which has always been considered very sexy for a women and a sensual and often private area. It is a bit harder to cover up an upper back tattoo design then a lower back so careful consideration should be taken for professional work setting and types of clothing worn to make sure there are no issues.

Feminine Side Tattoos

The side and hip area is also currently one of the more popular trends in female tattoo designs for girls. Often these are also very big designs like the upper back tattoo. They will start at the hip and come up and twist around to some degree the front and back of the rib cage. Some of the most popular themes for this area are literary tattoos with words or saying, Japanese koi fish, cherry blossom and old classics of ships, anchors, swallows and etc. A dragon also works well in this area and it very popular among many guys and some women these days.

If you are considering jumping on one of these hot and quickly growing trends and getting a tattoo design yourself you should spend extra time and consideration on the design. This site has a ton of great designs and tattoo ideas to get you started.
