How many times have you seen some men turning their heads around to have a better look to a nice lower back tattoo in a young woman? Many! It is because these types of tattoos are really attractive and are designed to enhance women beauty. They are an accessory for women; especially young ones and they go proudly showing them whenever they can. Well, that is the idea, isn’t it?
Lower back tattoos did not really become popular until the end of the 20th century. Young women often like these tattoos as way to express their individuality, but also like having the ability to cover the tattoo easily if their work or social situation requires. Being in the lower back it is easy to cover when needed.
A lower back tattoo is often long and somewhat slender, and often used to emphasize a women’s natural sexuality. The tattoo is usually designed to accentuate a woman’s curves and shape.
Even nowadays there are many parts of the world that look unfavorable upon lower back tattoos. They are often associated with promiscuity and these tattoos are sometimes referred to as ‘tramp stamps’ and ‘California license plates’. Australians will sometimes refer to them as ‘arse antlers’. As times passes, this stigma is slowing fading and lower back tattoos are considered a form of art, as any other type of tattoos.
However, many ancient civilizations believe the lower back stores energy in the form of kundalini, which is a Sanskit work meaning winding or circular. This word is also used in Yoga for a snake-like energy and is believed this energy is stored in the lower back.
The lower back is not the largest part of the human back, but there is ample room for a large tattoo design. Many of the tribal tattoo designs are often used in lower back tattoos, as well as vines, and other flowing images. Also popular are Celtic themes and Arabic lettering.
These tattoos are great for women who want to conceal their tattoos when a more conservative look is needed, but may also be showcased by today’s fashions of low-rise jeans and half shirts. With the coloring options now available in today’s tattoo industry, virtually any design is possible. There are many beautiful designs that can be adapted to any woman needs or likes. Check with your local tattoo artists to decide if a lower back tattoo is right for you.
