Female Tattoo Gallery » Female Tattoo Gallery

Butterfly tattoos are one of the most common designs for women all over the world. Butterfly tattoos are very versatile and can be used to create unique designs in a number of different ways. Butterflies are some of the most beautiful creatures in the natural world and represent different things to different individuals. Professional tattoo studios typically have a wide variety of butterfly tattoos to choose from and each can be altered into whatever design you desire.

Butterflies represent beauty and renewed life in a number of different cultures throughout history. The life cycle of the butterfly has often been used to symbolize a woman’s transformation from a child into a creature of beauty and renewed life. 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. Small butterfly tattoos can be placed on the ankle, the wrist, the stomach, or the top of the breast. Larger butterfly tattoos are typically used on the upper arms, the lower back, the shoulder blade, or on the thigh. There are literally thousands of different butterfly tattoo designs for people to choose from and each can be redesigned into something that is unique to the person that will be wearing the tattoo.

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.

CHERYL COLE
TATTOOS

Hip Hop Tattoo

So, you're one of the most famous women in the world. You regularly top the Most Beautiful lists, have buckets of money, gorgeous hair and figure and you're not even out of your 20s.

So, what do you gift yourself to make you stand out even more? A big, ugly tattoo, if you're Cheryl Cole.

This is slap-it-on-the-back, can't-take-your-eyes-off-it ink. And then she wears a fabulous backless designer dress that needed absolutely no adornment save for a sleek, toned, clear back and ruins the look completely.

massive

Why on earth anyone would get one is beyond me. Once the province of the uber-chav, the skinhead, shell suit-wearing brigade, tats have now become the accessory-du-jour for the red carpet set.

Cheryl's is massive. It takes over her lower back before disappearing into her nether regions. What she doesn't realise (because nobody in their 20s does), is that when she's blowing out 40 or 50 candles on her birthday cake, not only will the tattoo not resemble whatever it was, but it'll be at least four inches lower than it started out.

Scrunched up with wrinkles, maybe a bit of middle-age spread, and it's a look you'll want to cover up with big knickers and a vest, never mind a backless Armani.

Let's not ignore the obvious. The vast majority of ordinary women spend a great deal of time, and money, enhancing themselves.

We change our hair colour and style (Cheryl, unlike the rest of us, is paid to), we put on make-up, we might get pierced ears or gel nails, we might get a boob job and we certainly have no qualms about buying vertiginous heels to wreck our feet in.

But beauty, as they say, is temporary. All the enhancements are fun to try, especially when you're young. Who cares if you have orange spiky hair and three earrings? So what if you're experimenting with goth black eyes and lips? It'll all change. A tattoo, however, is permanent.

No, don't tell me about laser treatment you can get to remove them. I've never seen a successful, scar- free, job. Tattoos are just a no-no when you're older.

Cheryl is in bad company, unfortunately. Peaches Geldof has a vine running all the way up her body -- bound to look like an out-of-season tomato plant when she's middle-aged.

creepy

Eminem has his small daughter's face crawling over his bicep. His daughter will look different as she gets older and he'll just look creepy.

Our own Keith Duffy seems to have infected entire boy bands to follow suit with his experimental body paint. Not even a bout of septicaemia after a 2008 tattoo called a halt to the ink.

Of course, celebs who get hearts, anchors, words of peace and love all over their body at least have the presence of mind to keep it fairly banal. There's no accounting for stupidity with some of them, of course, and some who chose their partner's name as a permanent fixture are regretting it now.

Johnny Depp has "Winona Forever" well, forever scrawled on his back, which must give wife Vanessa Paradis enormous pleasure every time he takes off his clothes. Rumours suggest he had it changed to "Wino Forever" which isn't a marvellous message for the kids, really.

Angelina Jolie knew bad boy Billy Bob Thornton was a keeper when she had his name inked on her upper arm. Brad agrees, I'm sure.

Nick Cannon married Mariah Carey in 2008 and her name takes up most of his back and shoulders. Let's hope they break the Hollywood mould and stay together.

Rapper Chris Brown, known for his charming behaviour with women, has sported tattoos since he was 13, including Jesus, a Demon (to cover all the bases presumably), some ninjas and a skull.

Maybe 2011 is the year tats go out of red carpet fashion. Let's hope so.
