While men and women who are considering tattoos have many of the same issues, there are some things that women need to give additional thought to before getting their tattoo(s). For those ladies who want to be sure to get a feminine tattoo that looks good for life, where the tattoo is placed is probably even more important than what the tattoo is.
Because of changes that can occur in the female body with aging and childbirth, tattoo location can be very important. It is a good idea to choose a location where the skin is not subjected to a lot of stretching and sagging because no matter how good or feminine or attractive a tattoo might start out, if it is located on skin that will tend to get stretched, get stretch-marked, or sag over time, the tattoo may wind up looking bad. In such cases, what once was a beautiful piece of skin art may simply draw attention to physical features that a woman wish were a little less noticeable.
For this reason, I suggest that women choose locations where the skin is most likely to stay relatively firm over the course of one’s lifetime. Such areas include the back of the neck, upper back, on the shoulder blade area, on the lower back, and on the ankle. Other areas that have this trait include the forearms and upper arms, although these spots seem to be more popular for masculine rather than for feminine tattoos.
Some very popular ares for feminine tattoos are the area around the navel and on the breasts, but these locations are subject to some rather drastic changes in skin elasticity during preganancy, and to some extent, from normal aging. Even the lower abdominal and pubic area can be subject to change due to changes in the abdominal wall with pregancy and other weight gain. Needless to say, while tattoos in these areas may look great for now, they might not be such good choices in the long-run.
The next thing to consider is what kind of feminine tattoo you are looking for. My first suggestion is, no matter what, do NOT put the name of your lover on your body. I don’t care how much in love you are right now, the hard fact of the matter is that most of the time, relationships fade a lot faster than a tattoo does!
The possible choices for what tattoo to get are infinite, so it can be hard to choose. Take your time and figure out what you really want, because short of some really painful (and not 100% effective) methods, once you have it, you can’t change your mind. I suggest checking as many resources as you can before making a decision, and you might want to look specifically at galleries dedicated to feminine tattoos, if that’s what you want, because it will save you a lot of time.
When choosing from images like patterns, floral designs, etc., it is matter of taking the time to sort through the possibilities and choose what you like. I suggest doing more resarch if you are thinking about an Asian language character or other symbol that might have some meaning that you’d rather not have permanently imprinted on your body. Check at least a couple of resources and don’t just take the tattoo artist’s word for what a given symbol means. That beautiful, feminine tattoo might look good, but do you really want the Japanese symbol for “manure” printed on you?
