Sexy Tattoo!




They are sometimes derided as being suggestive of promiscuity and have received various derogatory nick names such as "tramp stamp", "arse antlers" and "slag tags".




There are only a couple sensual spots on a woman. Many consider the nape of the neck and the lower back as two of these areas. Getting a tattoo can be an expression of a woman's confidence in her sensual self. Maybe for this reason, the lower back tattoo has gained in popularity among women who get tattoos. It serves as the women’s secret sensual symbol.






The lower back area can be hidden or slightly exposed in a woman’s wardrobe. Women can use the area as a sensual tool. Men find the area very sexy. It can be a secret area a woman and man share as an intimate secret. The tattoo can be visible or kept under the woman’s swimsuit line. The lower back tattoo offers many options in design size and style.





The variety of lower back tattoos is large. Some of the similarities in lower back tattoos are the size and design. Often they are small and have shallow curvature that fits the natural curves of a woman’s hips. The lower back tattoo is meant to accentuate this sensual area so the tattoo fits the natural symmetry of a woman.






Popular tattoo designs include stars, vines, and flowers. Flowers and natural plants can symbolize the female form and strength of the role of women in society. Flowers especially roses have always been popular. Increasingly a rose with vines outstretched has accentuated the woman' body frame. Some designs can incorporate a winged design as this fits the shape of the woman’s body. Butterflies with the wings outstretched are often popular and colorful.





More and more women are choosing a personalized tribal design. The tribal designs can be customized and unique. It can incorporate ancient symbols of strength and fertility. The designs are often black with little color and vary in the intensity of the lines.





It is important to take the time before getting a tattoo to research the different options available. Previously, this involved trips to a tattoo parlor and time spent looking through the tattoo design book. In today's Internet age, that task has become easier. Often women can get access to thousands of different tattoo designs for a reasonable price.





Since a tattoo lasts forever, it is well worth the effort beforehand. Always consult the artist with your ideas and tattoo designs. They can offer suggestions and guidance. Decide what the final design will entail and ask about after tattoo care.

Luckily Inked




There is a long tradition in the art of tattooing for good luck. Many of the most popular tattoos that people get are symbols of good luck. This dates back to the tattooing tradition of sailors. They often lived a life of uncertainty at sea and need all of the good luck possible to come back home alive. Thus sailor often got tattoos like a sparrow for good luck and safe return.





In recent years the art of tattooing has gone through somewhat of a rebirth or a neo classical period of sorts and some of the older tattoo designs are being brought back to life with new bright and vibrant colors. For example the sacred heart or sparrow tattoos are two classical images that have resurfaced into circulation and design themes. The difference is the new versions have lots of bright and vibrant colors. They offer a kind of retro look and a nod of appreciation back to the history of tattoos. Thus makes them fairly popular. Along with the resurgence of older or classic tattoo designs has come a strong resurgence of good luck symbols. Again they were once worn by sailors but now a good luck tattoo can be appreciated by many different types of people.
Below is a list of some of the more popular good luck tattoo designs

Sparrow Tattoo









Often used by sailors as a symbol of good luck because the bird would be spotted near land. Thus meant the sailors were returning safely home to family.

Nautical Star Tattoo











The exact meaning of the nautical star is somewhat shrouded in history and lore but most have come to interpret is a symbol of the northern star or Polaris which sailors would use to navigate by. So a Nautical star is kind of the guiding light through life and often thought to bring good luck.

Three 7’s










Historical in western culture the 7 has become symbolic for good luck and of course three is also a symbol for good fortune thus three 7 is about the luckiest symbol one can have. Most people would agree that the significance of these numbers come from Christianity. Of course the three is symbolic of the holy trinity.

Horseshoe







The tradition of the horseshoe has been said to date all the way back to roman times when people would hand them from their front door. Some would hang them right side up to catch all the good luck while others would point them downwards so the bad spirits would bounce off and not enter the house.

Good Luck Amulets






Good luck amulets are another popular good luck tattoo. These can range fro religious amulets or medallions to a luck rabbit’s foot amulet. The idea is that by getting these tattoo the symbol is close to you at all times and you will always have the good luck from it.

Shamrock Tattoo








Of course this harkens back to the Irish and we see them all over the place on St. Patrick’s Day but the shamrock or four leaf clovers is another very popular design.

The Number 13










It is said that the tradition of the number thirteen dates back to the Aztec culture who believed that this number held significant importance because of their calendar system.

Yin and Yan









One of the most interesting things is that many of the symbols of good luck are often paired with symbols for bad luck. This is typically done to show both sides of good old lady luck or the roman idea of luck as a spinning wheel that has two sides. So often good and bad luck symbols will be tattooed together to show both sides of the equation. Without the bad luck there can be no good luck. It is very similar to the eastern concept of Yin and Yan.
